How did you choose it, may I ask?<br /><br />In response to your comment on my previous post, I'm truly happy that you understand the point of view I speak from. And your idea of seeing beauty and the true purpose in every activity instead of considering it as a chore that needs to be gotten out of the way might just be the essential attitude we're missing. So thanks for that thought, Ally. :)<br /><br />Love<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tashrin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tashrin</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ishrattrishna" rel="nofollow">Twitter - @ishrattrishna</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-20600243850472676182011-06-04T09:03:39.255-04:002011-06-04T09:03:39.255-04:00I was thinking about the name Ally, and why I like...I was thinking about the name Ally, and why I like that you didn't spell it Alli...

Not just as "ALL-EEE", but as my "ALL-EYE". <br /><br />Blogger still isn't letting me log in for comments, BTW.

Hightest protein content in a grain- so great for vegetarians. Cooks as easy as rice (just rinse to remove bitterness.) It is gluten-free, healthy and tasty. It might be new to American palettes, but its an ancient grain. Ok, this cook is now off her soapbox. xo.citizen rosebudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038740885720827086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-61626395900938773302011-06-02T13:31:17.633-04:002011-06-02T13:31:17.633-04:00I know what the (+1) is Ally.

Most days, it was the only thing I read in the paper. I still read advice columns today. My favorites are Dear Prudence (by the lovely Emily Yoffe) and Dear Sugar. I have to admit that I miss Ann Landers, and I'm not a big fan of Annie's mailbox. Which advice columns are your faves? :)Michellehttp://blog.hercatwalk.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-62066702450697824552011-06-02T11:22:52.898-04:002011-06-02T11:22:52.898-04:00This is such a fun idea.

After I posted it, I started to worry (which is my default-reaction to most things). I worried that nobody would like the idea, that nobody would submit questions, and that nobody would even comment to tell me how stupid it is. Fortunately, you guys dispelled those fears.<br /><br />A Fine Balance: Good point. My e-mail is already on my blogger profile but, to make it easier to find, I'm going to put it directly on the blog. Thanks for the suggestion.<br /><br />Ashley: I live to make you laugh. Really.<br /><br />Sheila (and others): I'm glad the name Ally isn't throwing you for a loop and that you like it. Using it is my preference but I'm reluctant to push something like this on people. I don't assume acceptance of my true nature.<br /><br />Emily: Yes, I read Savage Love. He has an interesting perspective. And I agree with you about people: I've had the same experiences.<br /><br />BTW, quinoa is a trendy new food that's highly nutritious. It looks like rice but isn't actually a grain; technically it's a seed. It's a great ingredient for salads.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-79495260138173351742011-06-02T08:24:02.073-04:002011-06-02T08:24:02.073-04:00I LOVE this idea.. so fun and I like how you are b...I LOVE this idea.. so fun and I like how you are being so creative.. and love the examples of things you can answer... hah hah we eat quinoa all the time.. funny!! now I have to come up with some good questions for you!! xoxo JJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768359135537714700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-70382063613467762262011-06-02T08:17:52.420-04:002011-06-02T08:17:52.420-04:00Cool idea and i can't wait to read your column...Cool idea and i can't wait to read your column<br />brettsilvergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965789269309703010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-24238472986689297222011-06-02T04:53:08.442-04:002011-06-02T04:53:08.442-04:00I do so love this idea Ally ;-)

Probably my favourite advice columnist, though, is Dan Savage of Savage Love. Do you know him?<br /><br />Also, re: my supposedly having more experiences than you: I wouldn't say that. Well, I guess I've had a lot of some kinds of experiences, not many of others. And if I've learned one thing, it's that how someone appears on paper is not necessarily how they are. I've met a lot of people who live in cool places, speak four languages, are good at sports and music and you name it... and are deeply, irrevocably boring. And some people who have never left their hometown but are amazingly empathetic and informed. : )Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.com
