I've been using chopsticks on occasion since before my age in terrestrial
years reached double digits. So I'm not going to starve. (My husband
might end up rather hungry, though.)
I've been getting those Uncle Ben's rice bowls, and you can't really rest
the chopsticks on one of those without a) the chopsticks sliding off
because they've merely been propped up, or b) getting the part that is
gripped smeared with gravy or something. So I wanted chopstick rests, and
found 3 different kinds there, and bought 4 of the cheapest (which worked
out to about as much as 1 of the most expensive would have been, or what
2 of the medium-priced ones were). I'll keep that in mind, though, if I
ever end up eating out with you in a place where you have to ask for a
fork. :)

Heck, anyone here could post messages on the internet. I was referring to
making sure my son had adequite sustenance. :)
Oh, and I didn't *have* to post messages on the internet. I could have
just ignored the computer completely today. It just wasn't fun being the
only adult inside with a baby that was alternately hungry, sleepy, needing
a diaper change, and then hungry again, not giving me enough time to
shower AND eat breakfast before Round 2 began. (I could have at least
handed off the diapering to someone else, if they hadn't been making the
yard look so nice.)
