This, or that?

I've also found I don't seem to gorge myself as much if I eat smaller meals more often... Correct me if I'm wrong someone! :laugh: t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."

If you build a fire with just a big log you get a tiny little flame for a while then it burns out. Now if if you build a fire starting with little bits of kindling and throw them on over time you will have a good strong long burning fire.
