"I don't want to hear another word,
Don't need your well thought out advice.
Though I thank you all for being kind,
I can make mistakes myself just fine."

Oh I suppose I was "picking nits", but I don't do fast food at all, and have not for a few years now. If I forget to pack a lunch, I don't eat.

At my age (and weight) I'm better off not eating...

I would disagree about McDonald"s food. I don't think that there is ANYTHING healthy there except salad... if they have salad... do they have salad?

I don't have a rule on what my students may or may not call me. I am uncomfortable with the term sensei so I discourage that.

Most of them call me Mike, but sometimes they call me Mr. Philippus,...
