4. Answers
1) Totally helpless with chopsticks. If I were Chinese, I'd weight 8 lb, 10 oz.
2) Nope. An old coach told me that your body can absorb only so much protein, and then you crap and pee what's left. Eat a balanced diet and you'll get enough.
3) Your kidding right? I have an M.A. in English (and I'm being ironic).
4) None for me, thanks.
5) Edwards, but I'll work like hell for the Democratic Nominee.

7. Hiya Priya
1. I am adept at chopsticking and use them when appropriate.

2. I used to eat Zone Bars but I just eat regular food now.

3. They're mostly peeves related to spelling, your vs. you're, too and to, their vs. they're. My seven year old daughter knows the differences (through school work - not any sort of drilling by her Mom and I), everyone else should know the difference too.

4. Splenda for iced, Sugar in the Raw for hot.

5. In my inevitable Quixotic style, I'm supporting Bill Richardson.......

1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?

Yes but only in a restaurant

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? etc. If so, which ones?

nope

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?

Not really. I'm pretty bad sometimes when I don't pay attention. I guess a peeve would be line breaks. It drives me bonkers to see a thread that is words words words from top to bottom.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?

I prefer it unsweetened.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread) Mostly Edwards, but my mind is still open.

17. Good morning, Priyanka!
Edited on Tue Nov-13-07 09:59 AM by racaulk
Here are my answers...

1. Yes and yes, although I usually resort to using a fork when eating noodles.

2. Nah...

3. I really hate it when people say "irregardless."

4. One cup of sugar per gallon. Of course, growing up in the south, I'm used to having it much sweeter than that!

5. No. I am leaning toward Kucinich or Edwards (with Clinton and Obama at the bottom of the list), but I am totally undecided. I was holding out for Gore, but I have recently given up hope on him running this time. :(


Edited to clarify a couple of answers.

20. yay! answers
1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?
yes and yes. I used to be better about doing it, but for a long time I carried a pair on me so as not to have to use sporks and such. I need to start doing it more regularly again. And yes, I cleaned them.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
not very often. I eat Luna, Odwalla, or Pemmican bars while camping, but I'm more of a cerealist for breakfast.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
Quite a few. I hate that adverbs seem to be being replaced by adjectives. Also, the standards (their/there/they're, your/you're/yore), and a few others. Yesterday I laughed at someone for having a "Tudor" sedan. I am a monster.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?
with sugar if at all.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)
no.

1. Yes and yes. But only when appropriate. I don't usually eat lamb chops with chopsticks, despite the word 'chops' being in both of them.
2. No, I prefer to eat food.
3. Yes. I was raised in a very grammatically correct household.
4. I usually use honey.
5. Yes, and anyone who wants to vote for another canidate is a horrible person and shouldn't even be a democrat. :P Seriously though, I just moved so I need to reregister to vote here and all that jazz. And I'm a Kucinich fan, but I'd be willing to settle for Edwards or Obama.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones? Not lately, but I do like the Health Valley organic tarts (Please, no rude comments!).

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves? "Went" used in place of "gone," and many, many other offenses.

4. How do you sweeten your tea? I don't. I drink it hot, with milk, and never have iced tea at all.

Yes, and yes ... and I act very mock-indignant when other people at my table at a Chinese restaurant pick up forks instead.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
Not really. If I want a snack during the day, I'll have a granola bar that's high in dietary fiber.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
I'm a writer/editor by trade. I have thousands of them.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?

These always liven up my day. :)

1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?
Yes. Only at restaurants that offer them.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
only when Im training for a marathon. I'll eat an energy bar before a long run (12 miles or more), and do GU shots during long training runs.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
Cavalry = soldiers on horses
Calvary = a place in the Bible
you would not believe how many soldiers in the Cavalry Division have no clue and use the wrong one. Even the high ranking officers. Even the Division Commander. In his speech during his own retirement ceremony, in front of 10,000 people.
(yes, thats the 1st Cavalry Division patch as my avatar)

4. How do you sweeten your tea?
sweet tea? ewww!

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)
Nope. I find myself leaning towards either Obama or Edwards, but I'm still open for more information.

28. More lies and evasions in response.
"1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?"
Sure, but only for food that can be stabbed by the chopstick and then stick to the end. Chunks of potato do pretty well. Big pieces of fruit too.

"2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?"
Do cheeseburgers count?

"3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?"
Yes, a bunch of them. The most irksome for me is subject-objective pronoun disagreement. Everyone needs to do their best to avoid this. *cringe* It is especially confusing when the gender is know. Each First Lady should use their best judgment. Their? Who are "they?"

"4. How do you sweeten your tea?"
By ordering cocoa instead.

"5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)"
Nope. Depends who survives Iowa, NH and NV.

34. Answers by Dick Cheney:
"1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?"
I keep a set of silverware in my pocket. I also keep a porter-house steak and a lit Habachi in my pocket in case some ambassador tries to feed me some of that foreign crap.

"2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?"
Well, I get the uranium fuel rods in my pacemaker changed every six months.

"3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?"
Sure, when people use grammar to criticize me. Maybe some of those smart-ass liberals can conjegate the verb 'to get shot in the face.'

"4. How do you sweeten your tea?"
With the tears of hungry children. My 'tea' I assume you mean 'Scotch.'

"5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)"

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
NONE

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves? Using grow as a transitive verb unless referring to flora or fauna. Hate the expression "growing a business".

4. How do you sweeten your tea? On the rare occasions I drink tea, I don't sweeten.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread) KUCINICH, I guess. Doesn't matter much. PA primary too late to matter.

39. Answers, more or less
1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?
Yes, I can. Mostly I don't bother. I can eat faster with a pair of sporks.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
No bars, but swill down the occasional "slim-fast" drink, maybe to wash down some chocolate cake.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
Mixing up words, like affect/effect, or their, they're, there. No big deal on the internets, but in professional writing I notice junk like that.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?
Sugar. Is there any other way? :)

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)
Yeah, pretty much set on Edwards, unless Gore enters (unlikely). I like Kucinich, but don't want to waste a vote if he doesn't stand a chance.

1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?

Yes, and yes.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?

Rarely. "Power Bars" are nice and taste and chew like drywall.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?

Yes, but my English sucks enough to not take people to task over them.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?

Rarely, with Stevia. Good tea doesn't need it, and the best tea (Indian Chai with the spices) is perfect as-is.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)

Kucinich is the only candidate that I'd vote for.

46. K
1. Yes and Yes
2. Sometimes. Usually Pria bars because they only have 100 calories
3. Yes! When people use less rather than fewer in appropriate circumstances. Ex: "The only thing better than less bills is no bills" No! It's fewer bills! I hear this in commercials all the time and it always makes me scream at the television.
4. I do not sweeten my tea.
5. No, I have not.

48. Hi, lioness!...
1. Yes, I can, and yes, I do. Couple of years ago for Christmas, a Korean-American co-worker gave me a nice set of hand-made lacquered chopsticks in a rainbow of colors. Very nice, and I use them all the time.
2. Nah. I don't eat meal-replacement bars; I just eat a meal instead... :P
3. Lots of them. Too many to count. But one of the biggest is: "I could care less" insead of "I couldn't care less". HATE that one! :banghead:
4. Sugar, baby. B-)
5. Al Gore if he declares; undecided otherwise. Leaning toward John Edwards.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones? - No, I have never tried one that I could stand

4. How do you sweeten your tea? - I don't drink tea.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread) - Of the available candidates, Obama by a mile. I wish Gore would run and win another election (without getting boned this time), but he's not running. If Obama doesn't get it, then I'm in the "any Democrat except Hillary" camp.

2) I used to eat protein bars when I was seriously working out. But, well, those days are in the past.

3) I still, still sort of cringe at the use of the word "ain't"

4) I don't. Unsweetened.

60. Here goes:
1. Can you use chopsticks? and do you?
Yes and yes. Since I mostly cook Asian (Japanese/Chinese, sometimes Indian) I have a few sets of them, and here's proof for at least four of them:


2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc. If so, which ones?
Rarely. Sometimes some 'Müsli' stuff, but when I read the ingredients, I mostly put it away. Too much sugar in this stuff.

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
A few. In English, apostrophes' (heh heh.) Otherwise, bad grammar in general. If you claim to have a doctorate, then at least know how to write simple sentences without too many errors in them. Oh, and yes, the comma there isn't needed. ;)


4. How do you sweeten your tea?
I don't. No milk, no additional stuff, just hot water and tea; mainly green tea.


5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)
Well, I can't vote, obviously, but yes, Kucinich.

1. CHOPSTICKS. Yes, but I'm not currently allowed to use them.
2. ENERGY BARS. No. Calming down is a much bigger problem for me.
3. GRAMMATICAL PEEVES. No. I used to teach grammar, so I forgive all transgressions. (Besides, English grammar is insane.)
4. SWEETEN MY TEA. With maple syrup or raw honey. But you should add the honey after the tea has cooled. Never consume honey that has been cooked. That's a strict grammatical rule.
5. PICKED A CANDIDATE. No. I think they're all splendid.

No, but I had an old boyfriend that I think could almost eat soup with chopsticks.

2. Do you eat any energy bars? protein bars? meal replacement bars?etc.

No

3. Do you have any grammar pet peeves?
Not really. Doesn't mean I don't notice errors, just try not to let that get in the way of appreciating what someone has to say.

4. How do you sweeten your tea?
Don't. Drink hot green tea at work. Make iced (sun) tea at home and add a couple of peppermint bags to the jug.

5. Have you decided on a candidate for the primaries yet? if so who? (please try not to flame other people on this thread)
No. I probably agree most with Kucinich, but not sure of his chances.
I like Biden alot, but need to know more about him.
I liked Edwards in '04. It'll be one of those three.
