It must have been Cody's birthday I was thinking of. I knew two of you had birthdays this month and I always remember Max's because it's my brothers birthday as well. (Happy Birthday Cody if you are reading this!) My birthday is December 30th. I'm a textbook Capricorn methinks... (unless of course you are calling me a capricious bitch in which case I bark and bite like Stella under the covers all alone!) Oops! It must have been Cody’s birthday I was thinking of.

Actually, I'd probably be member 2 because it's such a great idea. Maybe I'll start one here with my daughter, her friends, and a couple ladies I met at my meeting. I just got back from the grocery store. John Denver was playing. OOOOOOH. My ears are bleeding now. I almost tried the delivery service today, but I needed vegetables and I'm very, very picky about those. <strong>A WW potluck/book club would be such fun. I tried a similar idea years ago, I ran an ad in the free section of the newspaper about a potluck dinner/book club and I got a huge response. Then I was switched to covering night meetings and I couldn't even be part of the club I started! If you do try the grocery deliver service order vegetables and see what you think -- our service had fresher veggies than the supermarket did because they came directly from the distribution center of Stop N Shop. Also, I you can refuse any fresh items if you don't like the look of them, I think that's part of the deal.</strong> In response, Wendy to your idea to Joan, I’d be member 202 if I lived there.

Not depictions of someone's child. Second, I LOLed numerous times. I thought it was so funny, right from the start =) <strong>Thank you!

That was so much fun! Thanks for doing it Wendy! :D :D I lawled so much! We have a tripe joke in our family too. Sort of. When my wife was a kid her dad cooked tripe once. She, her little brother, big sister, and her mom all ended up in tears. It was a bad meal I guess. Probably would have been OK with some star anise or chili pods. Who knows? That aisle of candles! Sweet Jeebus!! <strong>I'm glad you liked it, David, but you probably wouldn't want to shop with us. You'd hate the part where I lay down in the aisles and cry for us to leave. I'd love to hear more about this tripe dinner your wife was subjected to. Reminds me of the time my grandfather cooked rabbit and my cousins and I were crying. But when they cut into the cooked rabbit <em>it was riddled with worms</em>! I remember that horrific Sunday dinner for so many reasons, the major one being it was the day I learned the word "riddled." People were shouting, "MY GOD! It's RIDDLED with WORMS!"</strong> OH MY GOD I WANT TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING WITH YOU AND BUCK EVERY WEEK!

But Sarah and Obie are very fussy about their food. They don't trust that their meat and vegetables will be properly picked out by a Peapod person so I do the shopping. At the time I used them I only bought pizza and prepared food that you could microwave. I actually don't mind because it's the only social life I have. I always see a lot of people I know and chat with everyone. <strong>I trust Peapod, and because the food is coming from their warehouse in Walpole (?) it sometimes looked much fresher than what I'd see in the stores. The social part of the supermarket is another thing I hated...I always ran into my neighbors. Our market was full of my neighbors. If I had to go there I'd time it for 10 PM in the hopes I wouldn't see any. But I'd still run into people. You know Joan, you're so popular around town, if you started a monthly Weight Watchers Dinner Party/Book Club you'd probably have like 200 people who'd want to be part of it. You could take turns meeting at each other's homes and bring potluck WW-approved dishes, and then discuss the book of the month. Shoot, I'd join if I was there.
