Love football (And the Super Bowl 2015 will be held in Glendale, Arizona, less than 10 miles from my apartment!) so I’m one of those concentrating on the game and shouting at the top of my lungs.

Or sadism. Perhaps a sadistic psychopath. Regardless, we should not be friends with such people. Instead, all of the dessert-straight-after-dinner people should form some sort of very exclusive club and just eat dessert all the time. <br /><br />On another note, my mother plays the Reverse Parking Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168022158158952488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-24039663540449470582014-08-27T19:19:46.841-07:002014-08-27T19:19:46.841-07:00OK, why don't we just skip the dinner and go t...OK, why don't we just skip the dinner and go to the dessert!Guess Who?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17706258207121368810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-82548091000561778542014-08-27T19:18:31.291-07:002014-08-27T19:18:31.291-07:00To go a step beyond the waiting for dessert what ...To go a step beyond the waiting for dessert what I don't understand is the comment "oh, this is too rich for me."
