If so, when do you take it down. I am in the process of putting my Christmas decorations away since it is the 6th of Jan. 12 days after Christmas, and away everything goes. I'd like to say it in in honor of Epiphany, or the...

katr0713 Thanks for the kind wishes - back atcha :-) I think most of us wouldnt mind keeping the lights us. Maybe even the tree, except for the space you get back when you put it up :-)

I am in the military and came in as a 23 year old who had been on my own for a number of years. I look around me at the young men and woman that are now serving and although I am proud of them, I feel as if a bit more experience...

katr0713 Not a rant at all. You made alot of sense. I'm glad that your son's are success stories, and I think you are right; alot of a childs maturity depends on the parents. You are also right about the mentors. We in the military are trying, and hopefully getting...

katr0713 You're right, you did get your monie's worth. I dont know if you remember, but I had a real tree every year. I finally stopped fighting the fight and got a fake one a few years back. I seriously thought about a real one this year though. Who knows, maybe next...

katr0713 Perhaps more training or ROTC is the answer. Perhaps a "trial" period. I wish I had a set answer. Again, I reiterate that I am proud of our people and what they do. It was all that you said for me as well. I was one of the ones that saw no other option. I'm...

Ok, so I'm in the military and have a 14 months left before I hit my 20. In all probability, I will stay in for 21, since I am in Europe and have a committment until 2011. Do you have any suggestions on good places to retire?...

katr0713 Wow! see, this is the kind of input that I need. Is the cost of living in Eugene high? Living in the UK I have already amassed a collection of antiques which I had already considered as well as the local artisans. I used to be a massage therapist, so I am...

Exactly what is the average amount of time you stick to any resolutions you make? I've actually gotten to the point where I dont even make resolutions anymore since I know in advance I wont keep them.

katr0713 Well let's hope the children arent following through on their resolutions either! :-) Like you, I used to make them and not keep them, then beat myself up about it. Now, I am older and wiser and think: "why bother"?

katr0713 I'll go with the latter as well. I know what you mean about you and your mom. I have a married daughter with two children and and 23 year old (as well as an 8 year old), and still tend to want to "take care" of them. When I get together with my brother (48), I...
