Do you stay home for New Year's Eve or go out?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 28 Dec 06

I almost always stay home with my kids and we have snacks, watch the ball fall in NYC on tv and toast the New Year in with some wine or champagne. It's pretty rare that we go out at all.

susangpyp When my boys were growing up, we used to watch the 3 Stooges marathon on NYE. I would let them pull out the sleeper sofa and eat snacks in the living room (they were not allowed to do that any other day of the year). When they became teenagers and started...

I am an American, who happens to be fortunate enough to live overseas in Italy. I have always wanted to visit Venice, and now I am afforded with that opportunity as often as I want. No matter how many times I have been to Venice,...

Is my fiance an alcoholic?

BellasmamaTiff @BellasmamaTiff (2544) • United States 22 Dec 06

ok.....here's the situation. I think Donnie is an alcoholic, yet he says no he isn't. Everyday after work, he and his boss drink two twelve packs between them. On days they don't work, they drink from around 10 am (or earlier)...

susangpyp Why are you engaged to someone who drinks so much whether or not he is an alcoholic. I think the better question is why are with a guy who drinks so much? You want to marry this guy and have kids with him? Yucch.

Christmas Is Not Xmas... Are you one of those who fall for this error?

dunetrekker @dunetrekker (339) • United Arab Emirates 18 Dec 06

I really don't know who coined the word or abbreviation Xmas and when it was started. I just think that it is inappropriate and much more irreverent to defile the REAL essence and subject of Christmas... that is CHRIST. He is the...

susangpyp My oldest son is named Christopher which is a variation of Christ and his brothers started calling him Xtopher when he was a teenager and later shortened it to X. He loves it. I think that chilling out over this is a good thing.

susangpyp Why does a high school kid have a cell phone worth over $200? The rules are probably harsh to discourage it because kids are always always trying to get around the rules. I'm not so sure I believe the falling out of the coat story. I have a 13 year...
