To be quite frank, I was getting tired of them. One week after the next brought another plain, boring list of articles. Let me first say that a few people have put together really, really, really great carnivals in the past. And I like to think of myself as one of those people.

Thank you. Please be careful when it comes to "I’ll be sure to help my wife watch her own weight so she doesn’t experience the same problems as Meredith when we start having children." Pregnancy is a hard time for food issues -- some of us need to eat often to keep morning sickness at bay, and it's not helpful to have someone else carping about one's eating at the time. Postpartum can also be a touchy time for food for a nursing mom. Keeping healthy food around the house and encouraging activity *with you participating too*, on the other hand, are great. I understand that you may not choose to let this through since I'm sending it anonymously. That's fine with me, since it's really just feedback for you. A great carnival. Thank you.
