One type of food at a time.<br /><br />There is a fine line between passion and obsession...but a bit of both, I think, is needed to get things done. They're both symptoms of commitment. ;-)Laura Bicklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498043274943334697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-41264170564852618742011-02-06T15:44:57.057-05:002011-02-06T15:44:57.057-05:00Okay, I would have called myself a serious Trekkie...Okay, I would have called myself a serious Trekkie. I spent my 1hr/day of TV as a kid on Star Trek. Every afternoon, 4p. I watched Next Generation religiously, saw every movie at least twice and even stuck with Deep Space 9 and Voyager. And I totally do *not* remember the Romulan food-touching thing!Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-71238950779019425202011-02-06T15:21:42.820-05:002011-02-06T15:21:42.820-05:00Let's try this again with appropriate editing ...Let's try this again with appropriate editing skills engaged.<br /><br />OMG. I'm blogging with people who never watched Star Trek?? My cred as a scifi writer just went down in flames. Romulans: You tell a Romulan from a Vulcan (in the original series) by the fact that Romulans come unglued if any one bit of food touches the other. All food stuffs must remain with like food stuffs. Veggies touching meat is cause for complete Romulan spy meltdown. Many such spies were unmasked and captured by Star Fleet's crappy institutional food service. Welcome to Geekdom. Our parties are okay, but Darth Vader's a jerk when he's drunk.Marcella Burnardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061631584953668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-70181209692607073912011-02-06T15:19:43.247-05:002011-02-06T15:19:43.247-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marcella Burnardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061631584953668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-53070858162140201652011-02-06T15:01:18.498-05:002011-02-06T15:01:18.498-05:00"We are a family of passionate women.

We are also the women who check the mailbox twenty times in one day, waiting for something to arrive."<br /><br />I love this quote. It makes me think of the Ya Ya Sisterhood a little bit, lol. Or Steel Magnolias. Great resonance. Also love the idea of you doing battle with all of the little shadows before they take over.<br /><br />Um, Marcella - Romulans? I fear I don't get it. <br /><br />Jeffe - no, no, on the veggies. Then you're too full to really enjoy your favorite food. Eat dessert first, life is short.<br /><br />KAK - I'm a little envious of the ability to do spreadsheets and schedules, not sure it counts as neurosis. But then maybe I'm neurotic about my inability to ever find anything when I want it and my underscheduled life.Kerry Schaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821175497518362926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-51496000738992571292011-02-06T14:32:04.727-05:002011-02-06T14:32:04.727-05:00"I try not to let my passion become obsession..."I try not to let my passion become obsession."<br /><br /> ~tabs though Jeffe's blog~<br /><br />So, spreadsheets don't count?
