jlr1979 I try to limit the amount I spend on food, but I've never been able to hold back for long. I will go cheap for lunch and eat noodles, or Hot Pockets, then I'll go out to dinner and order a steak. I just can't help it. Although we do keep our food costs down...

jlr1979 Everytime I hear the music to our national anthem I stop and sing along with it. Even if it is on the TV. If I hear it in person I will take of my hat, if I am wearing one, and sing and be respectful. Just can help it, must be the way I was raised.

This might be kind of a wacky discussion. But I'm here in front of my computer very late at night. It's quiet...no sounds save one that I can hear. The chirping of crickets...the first time I've noticed them all year long....
