A background check just to go on a date?
What about people with common names? And how in the world would records show someone has a boyfriend or girlfriend?

I absolutely LOVE Chicago (and Buckingham Fountain as well)! If I wasn't so opposed to cold weather, I'd move there. But, seeing how I whine all winter long in Oklahoma, I probably couldn't survive!Tomasso said:Hey vintage jayhawk, I see by your avatar that you've a fancy for Buckingham Fountain. Me too.

She was about 4 at the time and I realized at that moment that leading by example was going to be the best way to get through to this kid. So, I try very hard, even when it's just us at home, to use my best manners and watch her on the sly to see if she's copying. So far so good.

Did your family teach and enforce table manners? Do you teach and enforce it with your children? Are you turned off by others' lack of table manners?
My roomies are all open mouth chewers. It drives me absolutely up a wall to the point if they start eating I have to leave the room. I cannot abide hearing someone eat.
I agree and would go further to say that any type of entertainment expierienced during a meal (beyond softly played music) detracts from the culinary experience as well.I think eating at the table is a good idea, because you'll talk to each other instead of starring at the boob tube
I think eating at the table is a good idea, because you'll talk to each other instead of starring at the boob tube, even if it is only once a week.
Along with that is the arms around the bowl or plate and hunched over like someone is going to take their food from them. What is that about??
