After my rant in this thread, I'd better participate.

Hi, I'm lil. I like asking questions. I have an internet crush on thenewgreen.

I've been married to my current husband since sometime at the end of the last century (1998, I think). I have a 29-year-old daughter and an 87-year-old mother.

When I was school-age and the family sat down to dinner, my father would go around the table asking each kid this: "What did you do today for the benefit of humanity?"

I still ask myself that.

    "What did you do today for the benefit of humanity?"
I really like that :) Some dads, like mine, are not as inspirational.

Thanks.

That's what he asked - but not necessarily what we heard. I wrote a little story about what we heard, here
