I found your blog through...Hi Edward and Meridith. I found your blog through a comment Meridith made on Megan's blog. Soo... I liked this story about MRE's and the bit about "no junk food allowed" reminded me of a story. My dad went to the Air Force Academy and in his freshmen year had an assignment to serve in the food line one night. The dessert for the meal was Twinkies. Feeling like he never had enough sweets, he stuffed a few Twinkies (15 or 20?) here and there in his pants when no one was looking, you know.. to save for later. As he was walking back to his room looking quite suspicious (and with a slight waddle to his step) he ran into a senior. The senior, sensing something suspicious, ordered him to do 50 squat thrusts. Can you just imagine? Long story short, twinkie ooze... EVERYWHERE! So I hope Edward, you never hide sweets in your pants! Hope all is well!Adriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083888870688261401noreply@blogger.com
