Ohh!  THey would eat your share then pounce on you (evil grin).  Ok, makes
sense!

Then again in this house, normally the second half of a pie gets donated to
the local trash dump because we dont eat it before it dries out too much to
eat.

Some more so than others.  Often not intentional, just sorta like 'you can
never stop being a parent'.

Grin, she's an 'alpha'.  Thats ok.  Just takes time to work them down to a
more suitable 'sharing is good' pattern.

Outstanding!  Thats all that is really needed.  You remind me of a new
friend I just met.  Her name is 'Lovey'.  She is a very very pretty blonde
with short hair and a pair of really big dogs.  One is a rotweiler and the
other is some mix but about the same size.  Her rottie steped on something
and punctured his paw which got infected so the last several days were we've
been to the vet 3 times, she's been there for treatments and checkups of his
paw.

Lovey possibly outweighs collectively her dogs, but is obviously glossy and
healthy just like they are and she takes them running about.  I bet even at
my peak, she could have outrun me <G>.

Eventually you get used to it and it ceases to be a bother.  Heck, I even
have a salt free dashi blend <g>.

True, but I am working well enough still and learning new limits then finding
ways to do what matters to me within them.  Ok, so I cant run around and play
paintball or volleyball.  I can still do badmitton!

Well, I can still decimate one but often do not <g>

Check the local asian place where you are.  If nothing else, should be foodie 
fun to look at all the wierd stuff!
