Hi Heye, the ability to adapt is seriously one of the most important skills one can have. It will serve you well the older you get! Are you planning on going to college?

Yeah. Story of my life. But as to not bore you with that particular story, I’ll sum up. I’m 17, I’ve moved 18 times, and my familys finances have never advanced over middle class income. We’ve had highs and lots of lows, and we’ve always made due with what we had. To be honest, looking back, I think I had a better childhood for having to use my imagination more. I can remember Friday nights when my parents would go out on a date to escape the stress; my sisters and I would rummage any goodies we could find. We always got creative with foods….unless we had mac ‘n cheese. Haha. As for every time we moved, that’s always been its own case of having to adapt. You have to when you go from a two-story house to a small one-room apartment or a hotel room. While it’s been hard, it’s also been of great benefit to me in many ways, and it’s been an adventure. If nothing else, it has taught me to adapt to wherever God leads me. And I’m thankful for that.

Peanut butter but no bread? The answer is clear… Smear it all over yourself and go to a basketball game!

@Suzan Some people go crazy without food, their tempers flare, and become impatient. You're right, sometimes eating is a pain, and it's great to save time and money not eating. We should probably just eat when we're hungry, which would probably lower our caloric intake. Just got back playing 4 hours of tennis, squash, and working out! Hungry! @Patrick Ah yes, SB Sunday should be fun! But, I think I'll try and cut down on the intake for sure!

haha. Sounds like lunch today. We had a lot of snow and my wife normally does grocery shopping early Saturday mornings to beat the crowds. Instead we stayed in and cleared out the fridge. This works once and awhile, but it won't do for Super Bowl Sunday! :) .-= Patrick´s last blog ..How to Buy Super Bowl Tickets =-.

FS, Haha…I can’t fast because I love to eat. I don’t even do sports. I learned about fasting when I took some nutrition classes. I only have the experience of eating one meal a day because I was too busy. I always feel very good afterwards. NOT EATING ACTUALLY SAVED ME TIME and MONEY, too! Yes, we are so lucky to be living in America. But it will be good to fast (or go on fruit and water diet) once in a while. BTW, sleep does make me forget the hunger.
