It's so crazy because we always eat like this when we get together, special occasions, weddings, etc. And you're so right. I love having meals with my family. There's nothing like it.

But that first night we had dinner and that nasty little waiter was complaining about his tip was a first. I'm notorious for over-tipping, but even I would've been hard pressed to give him 10% that night. So yes, I agree there are advantages to carrots and apples…but then I wouldn't have had such a memorable experience.

That was a lot of food!!! There's nothing better than food and family! For me food is not necessary (i mean I'm happy with some carrots and an apple for the day) but when family has gathered it just makes the food more delicious! Until it comes time to tip and your family happens to be cheapos. Then i have to overcompensate for the belly-stuffed fools and end up thinking I should have just stayed home w/my carrots and apples!

Oh how funny. I had upgraded to this new commenting system because it is more 'sophisticate' and so it may just be a setting I have turned off? Thanks for the heads up.

Good luck & have fun with your IM efforts. There's no other business like it, is there?

you should get that plugin for your blog - the one that allows you to subscribe to the posts' comments so we know when we're being replied to silly =P

my blog is ok, its at where it needs to be, but i'm trying a new technique with internet marketing at this point to see if i can make some money off that as well.

i dont have a lot of time for that but im slowly working on it i strive for it more nowadays

You are sooo sweet. I've been going through withdrawals from your posts. I love your daily contributions. Quite honestly, I'm in AWE of you=)

My work has me very sadly neglecting my beloved blog, however, the time off has turned up a few ideas that might be fun in some upcoming posts.

And those ketchup chips are insanely delicious for those of us that like dill as well as salt & vinegar type chips. You must go or I'll have to add you to my list of people to send a bag to next time I head up to Canada (which is quite a bit further for me at over 1,200 miles.)

K, now for some more ketchup chips and to settle in with catching up on a months worth of your posts...

I was wonder where you were! I kept checking. Glad you had a good time and I've never in my life seen Ketchup chips… and I'm about 73 miles from the Canadian border. I'm going to have to pay better attention…

I LOVE Dill chips though!

Pheak!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been so long my friend...been gone a long time and had yucky computer viruses that chopped me off at the knees again...so I finally am covered (I believe (again)).

Anyways, been working like a maniac so not much time to hang out with you on Twitter, so keep me posted. Next time I go to Canada, I'll bring back a dozen & ship them off to my favorite peeps. Might be about 5 years tho, so don't let me forget. But they're really yummy. Fritos BBQ=ugh.

Thanks about Grandma. She's starting to lose her memory so we're going to have to visit her more often. I am grateful to have at least had her in my life. My other grandparents died too young.

I got to spend some quality time with my dad on the drive back, so I got the scoop on tons of stuff I've always wondered about like how his dad died, more details about his arranged marriage with mom, and more war stories.

So yeah, I understand when you say you do what you can. You appreciate your family NOW so you work towards building a stronger one NOW. I can respect that.

Have you been working on your blog more? You had mentioned that last chat...

I've never seen ketchup chips – but I don't mess with those kinds of “chips” – i dont think i even ate chips like that before except for some fritos bbq one day cause i had no choice to =/

your grandmother looks good, healthy and glowing (at least that's what i perceive from the picture)

i never met my grandparents at all – had some instances where i spoke to them over the phone but such a douche i was when i was younger, i didnt want to speak with them. i miss the opportunity to, sad but nowadays i try to do what i can.

24 hour drive is crazy, but worth it from what i can tell.
