The bigger your family, the faster you have to eat if you want second helpings! Written Dec. 6, 2015 For the One Liner 3 Contest of Silent One (this was sure true in MY family. I was good at getting seconds!)

I seem to think a bit differently about the bigger your family. I think the bigger your family you have to talk louder to be heard over everyone else. That's why I'm so loud.

Well done on the contest result Andrea, upon reading on your gastro feats I am not inviting you to dinner however.. 'just joking' its not that bad in the UK, mind you its not far off it..' hope all's well there..' Oh no I see my earlier misgivings were right, poor ole Daver has been led astray.'

I have a tendency to eat too fast. It is nice to know that so does the President! Please let me know what you think of my chess poem. I used to be quite an active player. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Fast food gets us all from time to time, but eating fast took its toll on me all those years so now I eat slowly! Cute photo!
