Indeed, I can have dinner-less days.
Well, I'ld personally prefer a more Hobbitish approach to the Dinner/Supper/Lunch discussion: AM Breakfast AMish Brunch Early PMish Lunch (or Dinner or Supper) Later PMish Dinner (or Supper) Sl. Later PM Supper (or Dinner) A little later Tea (or Dinner or Supper) Bedtime a light snack By strict utilisation of this most efficatious schedule, one can satisfy all parties concerned. Since everyone's meal is included, no one can argue about what's to be when. :) Padraic.
