jen_barre Nice job! We're all learning as we go as parents, there's no handbook. We have to make the decisions that we feel will make our children capable, intelligent and well-adjusted adults.

jen_barre phyrre, that's a beautiful tribute to your aunt! I agree with you, if you get something that has meaning, and isn't just a drunken dare, then there should be no regrets. Good luck to you!

jen_barre Actually, if you recall correctly, Pres. Bush invited Obama to the White House and asked him to make the decision on the bailouts as it would be his mess to clean up. I thought it was a dumb move, noble but dumb...now look....you STILL try to blame Pres. Bush...
