  2. I love your matter of fact answers. It's so cool that you've met 5 bloggers! It really is amazing how blogging has led me (us) to some very good friends. I consider some of them my closest friends, despite not ever actually meeting in person! But we talk almost daily, so that counts, right? And I forgot about Growing Pains and Family Ties! I watched those two shows a lot when I was younger.
