I think it's a fabulous idea! I have two boys that graduated high school last spring and by the time they were a few weeks into their senior year, they had regretted not planning better and graduating a year earlier. Sounds like my boys are quite a bit more social than your son, and even...

Wow, took me several readings of that lineage, but I think I understand it now. :rotfl2: I can't remember exactly how many generations it is, but he's a direct great grandfather of mine.

Yes - John Billington He was the first man hanged in New England, sentenced to death by William Bradford for killing another man during an argument. According to articles, he was foul-mouthed and not very well liked, and his two sons were trouble makers to boot. One of his sons found...

Just want to :lmao: at our similarities. I have twins in college right now, one in pre-med and one in actuarial science. Honestly, I'd be a little concerned about the 50% success rate. My DS's school averages 90%, and just this past year was 95%. That played a big role in his decision of...

By golly, I think you're on to something. :thumbsup2

I think it's Addie under the bed. Didn't Violet find her under there once before? And now that she's a ghost, perhaps that's her "place." When I was a kid, I was so afraid of "what was under the bed." I could turn my light out and leap into my bed from the doorway so that my feet wouldn't...

I agree that they're borrowing plot lines from other events/movies. Come on, I know the creators are more original than that! It's funny how you don't know any gay men that are into crafting, because I know a few straight men who are! :rotfl2: So true that that's a big stereotype. As to...

I'll add Steve Martin as another facelift gone wrong. And Ed O'Neill (Modern Family) a/k/a Al Bundy.

I've never dressed my identical boys alike (now college freshmen). Way too cheesy, in my opinion. And, of course, once they had a say in it, they wouldn't be caught wearing identical clothes for love nor money.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for bad parenting here, but, yes, we paid for grades starting freshman year. Here was our scale: Straight A's: Let's just say it was a "substantial amount." Anything less than straight A's: Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Result: Both graduated valedictorians...

Love it!

I called AT&T to order mine and they were able to transfer my unlimited data plan. Better than waiting to get to a store and then waiting in line for who knows how long. :thumbsup2 And don't know if this will pan out, but the rep told me to expect it to arrive on my doorstep via UPS on the...

I really enjoy country music, but find this kid quite creepy. Him winning AI this past season broke the proverbial camel's back for me ever watching AI again. It was bad enough watching the singing chihuahua (Kris Allen) win in 2009, but I kept with it two more seasons before calling it quits...

:rolleyes1 Wow, lots of parent-bashing threads lately. I've had three boys go through public school and have had experience with dozens of teachers through those years, and only one truly bad egg for a teacher comes to mind. A few were not too bright here and there, but for the most...

Our Disney Chase Visa card, of course! We have about $1,700 in rewards on it as of now. By the time we take another Disney trip (about a year to a year and a half from now), we'll have enough to pay a huge chunk of our trip. :goodvibes If only Universal had such a card...:rolleyes1 We...

Honestly, I've never been told that. Ever. Not saying those establishments do not exist, just saying I've never heard that uttered to me before at any place I've shopped. Guess I just don't shop at those types of places.

Only for those few places that I can't pay online or with a card. And they are businesses that we can't do without (i.e., worker's comp insurance, general liability insurance) while running a small business. Otherwise, I'd burn my checks and roast marshmallows over their charred remains.

Other. I don't "carry" cash. I pay my cleaning lady and my nail lady in cash. That's it. So I make two trips to the ATM every month for those two things. Everything else goes on a card. I have personally never encountered a business or merchant that didn't accept cards. If all they...

We mixed first and last names of ancestors (some going back a couple hundred years) to name our boys, so, no, I wouldn't change them. We were fortunate there was a nice collection of classic and unique names on both sides. :goodvibes

I absolutely LOVE Gaga's music, but I do wish she'd stop her attention-seeking antics. ENOUGH!
