All of your kids are graduated and ready to move on?
Obviously there are loads of factors that come into play but when my youngest finishes high school, and does 4 years of college minimum, I will be 62!!!
That is a sobering thought.
What about you?
Screws fall out all the time. The world's an imperfect place.
Dick? Excuse me, Rich? Will milk be made available?
Brian: The library comes with fire exits at either end of the room.
Bender: Show Dick some respect!
Can I trouble you for a glass of warm milk? It helps me sleep.
You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up. Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep! Look at the name tag. You're in my world now grandma.
And our all-time favorite:
Teacher says that real beauty is on the inside.
That's just something ugly people say.

In this family the knowledge of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
After that I would say literacy in all its forms. If you can read well you can teach yourself almost anything.

I love you. :D
I couldn't agree more. I give loads of gifts and I haven't the slightest idea who has thanked me and who hasn't and I could not care less. I've got bigger fish to fry.
ETA: if someone broke contact with me because I didn't send a thank you note in a timely fashion I would tell them not to let the door hit them on the --- on the way out!

:iagree: not to mention there is NO WAY my dh would go for our daughter dressing like a streetwalker for ANY reason. It's tough to be counter-cultural. :grouphug:
:lol:
This sounds like us. My oldest ds knew the truth at that age as well but we all had fun playing along. The very last time I did it I even sprinkled "fairy dust" ... Gold glitter... around his pillow and windowsill. It was fun!

:iagree:
:lol::lol::lol:
I joined for about 5 minutes until I realized that it makes me feel the same way I feel when I watch shows on HGTV or Food Network.

Yes it is possible but it is a lot of hard work. I would think very seriously about what you want to do when you finish college...where you want to work. If the point is financial stability then you would need to pick a job market that is growing and not dying.
We absolutely do NOT accept bribes of any kind... hence the need to return the gift. We have had much larger bribes than this in the past and we always say no.
What is interesting is the REACTION we get from parents... like they cannot BELIEVE we won't accept the bribe! It is pervasive in this culture as well. You can bribe the police to let you out of a speeding ticket. You can bribe government officials to build the 40-story apartment building next door to us even though the law says nothing over 25 stories. Etc.
The director and admissions counselor get bribes all the time but it was a first for me!
As much as I would love new computers... I am giving the wrinkle cream back. :D
