Actually, I'm more than fine. The chain letter thing was in my mind too. <br/><br/>I didn't leave a response on your first 'tag' for these reasons:<br/><br/>1)Linguine is my absolute favourite type of pasta.<br/><br/>2)I work from home too, but get dressed as soon as I get up. I guess it's OK for a bloke to see visitors in his PJs, but believe me no one wants to see me in mine.<br/><br/>3) I'm ashamed to say I don't know who Bill Maher is.<br/><br/>4) I agree with you on the olive oil, but this is the first (and last) item on your list that I can relate to.<br/><br/>5) I love the idea of mushroom hunting, but don't (yet) know nearly enough about funghi to avoid poisoning myself and those I love.<br/><br/>6) I know even less about American football than I do about wild mushrooms. (Or are the Yankees basketball?)<br/><br/>For the reasons above, I didn't feel qualified to comment. (I was also too proud to display my ignorance!)<br/><br/>But, do you know what? You've done me a favour because I now have a clearer idea of why I don't like these things -however good the origin. <br/><br/>Now I guess you are going to have to educate us Brits on the Yankees! Joe, I’m really fine with that. Actually, I’m more than fine. The chain letter thing was in my mind too.

I didn’t leave a response on your first ‘tag’ for these reasons:

1)Linguine is my absolute favourite type of pasta.

2)I work from home too, but get dressed as soon as I get up. I guess it’s OK for a bloke to see visitors in his PJs, but believe me no one wants to see me in mine.

3) I’m ashamed to say I don’t know who Bill Maher is.

4) I agree with you on the olive oil, but this is the first (and last) item on your list that I can relate to.

5) I love the idea of mushroom hunting, but don’t (yet) know nearly enough about funghi to avoid poisoning myself and those I love.

6) I know even less about American football than I do about wild mushrooms. (Or are the Yankees basketball?)

For the reasons above, I didn’t feel qualified to comment. (I was also too proud to display my ignorance!)

But, do you know what? You’ve done me a favour because I now have a clearer idea of why I don’t like these things -however good the origin.

Now I guess you are going to have to educate us Brits on the Yankees!
