A recent study showed that girls growing up in families that eat together are less likely to use drugs. The same study showed there was no difference with boys.

In addition to living alone, I don't have a dining table.

From what I can remember growing up, we always ate dinner at the table together when possible. Even when it came down to just my poppy and me.

During the past 10 years I haven't had a dining table. We did just get one this spring though.

I hear the Japanese eat off the floor.

Not all have the same physical abilities as others Shane.

From what I understand, Japanese men and women that grow up eating at the table actually grow taller. Aparently the way they sit on the floor impacts the circulation in their legs and causes them not to grow as tall. At least that is what a Japanese student I went to college with told me.

I think he was pulling your leg.

HEY ALL

I live Alone now.. But when
I WAS married and my children were
smaller and younger we would sit down
and eat our meals together.

I SAW a program on the public T.V. STATION
it showed the Japanese eating off a very short
and small table. they were all sitting on the floor.

I am sure he was not. He was a very good friend.

When my husband and I were traveling in Japan, we were invited to have dinner in the home of a Japanese family. We all ate at a very low table in the center of their house, but our legs were suspended into an opening beneath the table where there was a heater, in order to keep our feet warm. So we actually sat on the floor, but the floor had a large square opening in it below the dinner table, so we didn't have to sit on our feet.
