2. No. Went from ages 10 to 21 w/o a bed.
Sleeping on anything other than a couch, cot, or futon still feels a little weird.

10. i hear ya!
i sleep on a futon currently, and i prefer very small bed spaces....especially couches. I like to wrap myself up in a sleeping bag or make a cocoon out of a comforter and hibernate.

the futon is cool though when someone else comes over cause it folds out to full size bed.

:)

3. My 10 year old son always eats standing up.
I am constantly reminding him to sit down. I also ask him if he stands up to eat at school.:shrug: You are not alone.

4. No. Eating standing up is truly barbaric.

5. It's easier to get the right angle if you kneel.

I think women with dirty minds are in such short supply these days.

6. If you eat while sitting down,
it'll settle in your ass.

7. Doesn't eating standups qualify as cannibalism?
I'm not in to that...

8. I stand up and eat snacks over the kitchen sink
It saves on cleaning up crumbs and I don't have to wash an extra dish.

11. Breakfast
I'll eat breakfast on the hoof. But I sit down at the table for dinner. In my last flat, I didn't have a table, so I sat crosslegged on the floor, using a folded space blanket as a table.

12. Someone quotable once said:
"Never eat standing up or drink sitting down."

But he was probably a fop.

So yes, I eat standing up from time to time, but not at a table or bar. I enjoy doing it while taking a walk, if it's something that doesn't require a plate.
