westok I learned about going into debt. That is the one thing that I have told my children not to consider. In my opinion there are only 2 reasons to go into debt: 1) for your reasonable priced house or 2) for a good used car.

westok I fall asleep within about ten minutes if I don't have something I am worrying about. My problem is that if I wake-up in the middle of the night I have a hard time going back to sleep. Sometimes it can take almost an hour.

westok My son is diabetic and we use the Crystal Light packets all the time. He gets tired of "just water" and this is a nice change. We use the packets instead of soda. I like them myself but sometimes too much because we tend to run out often.
