Two elevators in one shaft ?!! That could be a "double decker" which works just as well and holds twice as many passengers !

If he is referring to your "eat less and more chocolate" you could have been referring to eating less MILK chocolate and more DARK chocolate (which is better for you)! Who would know better than I ! At any rate HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and all your friends and fellow bloggers. DAD.

Grammie, ol' DAD got it right! Eat more chocolate/eat less chocolate... put myself first/put others first...

Your 'going up' elevator and your 'going down' elevator are on a collision course!

Bert, Bert, Bert....You are way too analytical. For the most part it was just a fun list and I purposely put in the contradictory "eat more chocolate, eat less chocolate" etc. for a little humor.

..very little, apparently. : )

It is possible to want to take care of oneself as well as continue to take care of others. You added the word "first"....Mr. Smarty Pants.

So, what are your resolutions??! : )
