| 611 | dpolicar: you don't live in Cambridge and, in fact, Somerville picks up and recycles more than Cambridge, last time I checked...  | How good are you at conserving natural resources? |
| 612 | I don't have a dog,   | Do you have a dog in your home? |
| 613 | No, thank God... My housemate used to have one | Do you have a cat in your home? |
| 614 | Somerville, Massachusetts (Boston Area). Oh, USA. | How international is survey central, where do you hail from? |
| 615 | Don't intend to have kids. Among the strange names I've heard over time were (off the top of my head) "Mary Christmas", "Justin Case" and "Nosmo King"... | What are you going to (or already have) name your first child? |
| 616 | What's wrong with "share it with your dinner companions"? We love to go out and other a bunch or stuff that's shared among everybody -- this idea that every one has to have their own dishes is not very fun, imnsho. | Portions that are too large |
| 617 | Ahem... instead of "go out and other a bunch or" I meant to type "go out and order a bunch of", sorry about that. About the "un/civilized" part: until the late 1970's or so, most countries would consider the American Standard of bringing your dish already on a plate uncivilized. The "correct" form used to be you prepare everything with a good presentation in a serving platter with enough food for everyone that ordered that dish. Everyone has their own plate (one per course). A *waitron* will serve you. The idea is you are gonna be served small portions at a time several times -- you eat enough and people can't actually tell how much you ate unless they are paying attention to your plate, which is considered rude. Pay attention to your plate. I also find it annoying that serving platters became common instead of plates and people assume plates are just for salads. I really dislike it because you have to go out of your way to find a dishwasher that will take 12 platters at a time, most will take say, 6 which is decent for 6 courses but we usually have more than 6 friends for dinner. | Portions that are too large |
