MI-5 ... very late

Billyrythm says this 'five' is inspired by a bowl of his wife’s Chinese Chicken Noodle soup. Bill, you are easily inspired.

1) Chicken. We Americans eat lots of chicken, yet we’ve bred them to have little flavor. What’s something you do in your life that you do even though it has little flavor? That is, what is something you continue to do, though you receive little fulfillment for it?
Go to bed early. I don't know why but, its always been that way for me. Even 'back in the day' when I was wild & free (sorta), I had no desire to stay up later than about 11 pm. I still don't.

2) Noodles. Who invented them, the Chinese or the Italians? Tell us about your cultural heritage. Of what decent are you?
I am German/Welsh. I don't know a thing about the Welsh side. However, my Great Grandfather (father's side) came to America from Germany. He settled in the farmlands of New York - not very far from the port where he disembarked.

3) Green onions. When I was a kid, I didn’t like onions. Now, I can’t get enough of them. What’s something you used to dislike, but now really like?
That would be peas. When I was young, I could not stand peas! My parents forced me/us to eat them - even though they made me GAG! (I know, "TMI"). At some point later in life, I realized that my mom always served canned peas and fresh peas tasted totally different. Now I love fresh peas ... especially garden-fresh.

4) Carrots. When I was a kid, I couldn’t eat carrots. Now, I can eat them, but I don’t really care for them too much. What’s something you never cared for as a child that you still don’t care for today? Brussel sprouts. YUK! I don't even care for the smell. They smell bad while cooking, and they smell REALLY bad after digestion (if you know what I mean).

5) Broth. Without broth, you don’t have soup. What’s the thing that, if you didn’t have it, would make you not be you?
I'm not preaching here, but my answer has to be Jesus. After 52 years of living, I can honestly say that my relationship with Christ put me on a totally different track than what I started out on. I was not a very happy person back then. Furthermore, I believe by now I would either be rotting in prison or dead without Jesus in my life. All I have to do is think about what happened to the people I hung out with B.C. and its plain to see. THANK GOD HE RESCUED ME!
