   I can kind of understand Danny’s problems. When I was in high school, my metabolism was in such overdrive that even when I’d eaten heartily the night before, skipping breakfast meant I risked fainting from low blood sugar later in the day and my lunch typically consisted of 5-6 sandwiches and side vegetables and fruit. For good or for ill, it did slow down a bit as I got older, although recently, I’m back to the feeling hungry constantly. Heh… sure there’s some medical condition which can account for problems like Danny’s. Maybe he’s diabetic?

   If he got up with plenty of time to eat breakfast, then why does Buzzy have to wait?

   I would say that I was a growing child, but I never really seemed to do much growing up or out at the time. It wasn’t until after college when I was working at a desk for 8-9 hours a day and patronizing buffets 3 days of the week out of five that I started gaining weight. I lost all of that in my first semester of graduate school (30 lbs over the course of 5 months as best I can tell, went from 180 to 150), but have gained most of it back now that I’m back in a desk job. What can I say… my family has a strange metabolism.

   Lol. I agree that your family has a “strange metabolism”. 5 or 6 sandwiches and I would have to lay down for several hours, at least.
