Good idea to post for him.
Please give him a hug, or virtual one, for me.

Does he wear that cap to bed too?

Jane, I’ll give him a hug for you very soon. (YAY!)

Mattie, no, he does not.  In fact, he very rarely wears that orange hat around me.  He has approximately one billion hats so he’s always wearing different ones.  I think perhaps orange just went with his outfit? (*giggle*)

Vegetarian breakfast????

Avi, yep!  Break Boy and family are vegetarians.  We had waffles with choice of maple syrup or strawberries and homemade whipped cream and veggie sausage.

Does he force his kids to be vegetarians, too?  That has always seemed to be very unhealthy and not considerate of the child’s welfare to me.

I keep offering to write a post for Turnbaby, but she never lets me…

Err.  Force?  Well, they’ve never had meat, except in the forms of marshmallows and Jell-O.

Did you see the kids in those photos?  They’re not emaciated or anything. 

And, let me give you Break Boy’s direct phone number so you two can have this conversation.  You are both very like minded (as in, you both never back down from your opinion .

Fab, perhaps you’ll be more persuasive in one sleep.

(And perhaps I’ll stop responding to every comment individually, but maybe everyone’s enjoying that.  Whee!)

Heh.  It’s not an emaciated thing.  It’s the fact that if they make the adult decision to eat meat when they grow up, they will be physically unable to because their bodies will not have the necessary proteins.

Hmmm I think Poppy has a point there---in one sleep I think you can do anything you want Fabby*giggling*

Very cool post sugar. I’ve done the archive reading too--well Fabby’s not Dawg’s --you know

I like those PJs. Hi Poppy!

Feel better soon Dawg.

Cool fish tank.

Oh, and RAWR!

Avi, please send a link about what you mean.  Getting any talk time with Break Boy is impossible, so I can’t ask him what crack you’re smoking.  Sure, you can’t go from eating no meat to a 64 oz steak dinner, but afaik you can ramp up to eating meat if you really want to.  They’re vegetarians because they are compassionate, not because they enjoy the process of depriving their bodies of nutrients.  I really don’t think LLA or EZA are going to hold it against their parents if they want a meat product later in life but it makes them sick.  It’s not like they don’t have plenty of “meat,” it’s just not from cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, or other things that make sounds at you while you cut their heads off.

Turnbaby, I’m looking forward to that one sleep condition myself…

Hi, Finn!

BEE bzzt, they keep a mean fish.  (Or, rather, a very happy fish.) And, *giggle* to RAWR. 

I like the hat…

great post Poppy!

I so need a girlfriend so she can post for me when I’m tired and/or lazy.

Dawg, why would I not post for you, silly? 

Karl, THAT’S WHAT KARL SAID!  Hehehehehe!!!

What??? No bacon????

OOOHHH!! The horror!!!!

Don’t ever tell me a scary story like that again,Poppy!

MM, veggie bacon!  NUM!  Any meat has a veggie alternative.  (Well, I say that but I’ve never looked for viscera in veggie form.)

My wife doesn’t even READ my blog, much less being able to POST an entry for me.  RAWR.

I figure there hasn’t been a major health issue with any of the millions of different dietary guidelines in a couple dozen thousand of years, from Indian to African to Inuit to American Biggo Richie Man to Australian… seems to me people die out due to wars, famine, plague or natural disasters.  Humans pretty much can eat whatever they want.  And I want meat.  WAR.

The girl has pigtails.  *Two* of them.  She probably didn’t do them herself.  She’s being taken care of well enough, I’d say.  And look at that boy’s BRUSHED HAIR.  There’s no lack-of-welfare issue in this family.  WELFRAWR.

Oh and I forgot to mention that people are *GASP* sitting at the table together TO EAT.  RARE.

Oh, look.  they’re eating eggos. How-waffle.  RAWHR-RAHWR WAHHAHHAHHRRR.

Wah, I am honored to have been given the green light to post here.  I’m sure I brought the quality down by a good 50%, but I enjoyed posting nonetheless.

You have no idea how many times I’ve tried to convince Break Boy to eat pepperoni over the years.  (Evil Poppy.) He used to love pepperoni pizza right along with me in college but HLW’s love turned him to the dark side.

LLA is soooo adorable in those pigtails.  HLW does her hair.  I’m not sure who does EZA’s hair, but probably he does his own hair.  He’s very self sufficient.

We always eat at the table when we’re there.  When I’m at home I eat in bed or at my desk.

Those are homemade waffles.  Break Boy and HLW take eating very seriously, which is why it takes hours for us all to cook the food and then another hour or two to eat the food. (Is it a wonder why I love being there?)

That is such a neat picture. I like the fish tank, too.

Kind of curious how Dawg felt about a vegetarian breakfast. He seems like a red meat kind of guy to me.

Lynda, he says he likes veggie sausage, and that wasn’t the first time he’d had it.  He’s supposed to try tofu this weekend… we’ll see how that goes.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that he loves it as much as I do but if not the backup plan is Friendly’s.

But, bottom line: We both love a good steak.  I will never discourage him from enjoying the cow as much as I do.
