I’m surprised that so many of you tell your friends you are here. I know a bunch of people, and I can only think of maybe 2 to 3 people _at best_ that I would tell I post here. This is sort of a personal space where I can talk about and respond to things I would never broach in my professional relationships.

My 15 year old daughter knows I post here, but she and I have a MAD (mutual assured destruction) treaty that dad will not post on the American Cheese message board and she will not post here. I have read that message board and it’s just _shocking_ the things our kids are up to in their spare time. The language!
