Awana BBQ 2003... complimenting each other is a GOOD thing!

HAPPY CANADA DAY! This country is now 136 years old.. and we *still* bested the Americans at hockey! ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEGAN.. I hope you have a great one today! :) It's been so neat knowing you.

Had a good time at the Awana BBQ.. we had corn, carrots, salad, chicken, steak, celery, cucumbers, chips, frozen cream puffs, cheesecake, mashed potatoes, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, pop, cheese-filled Bavarian smokies, plus all this other food.

We also sat around and complimented a few selected people.. went around the room a few times affirming them. I think that's a good thing we did that.. sometimes we don't tell people these kinds of things enough.

Three things I learned tonight:

If you go to a restaurant, ask to have rare steak.. that'll ensure you the best piece. Ask for well-done meat, and you might get the worst cut of meat.. one that's really tough. (stuff that the restaurant probably wants to get rid of)

We should go against the traditional Chinese thinking of: "if I compliment you too much / at all, I'll be spoiling you." and tell people they're appreciated more often than we do. It is SO not spoiling them; rather, it's telling them that they ARE appreciated and loved for themselves. :)

If you dream about your teeth falling out or getting chipped, it means you're (really) worried about something.
