We've had some nasty winter weather. The roads have been like a sheet of ice for the past 5 days and we've been house bound. Our cat is quite content to lay by the wood stove but the dog needs some action!

What kind of deductions are you referring to that you could have taken? I am sure many here would be interested to know and could learn from your experience.

I think our card and wrapping paper supply will last us the next 20 years! My wife has this thing about "matching" the paper to the gift inside. I guess she notices stuff like this.

I hate to go to the doctor. I'm very healthy, so the reason I don't like to go to the doctor is because I feel like it's a waste of time and resources. If I knew something was wrong, I would be afraid to NOT go.

This last stunt pulled by the house speaker was quite appalling to me. 90 percent of the senate and 85 percent of the house were ready to approve it. Shame on the 10 percent who wanted to hold middle class families hostage.

This is a very good subject. The main thing we do to encourage honesty is that we never punish when one of the children has done something we disapprove of but has been honest about it. We discuss it honestly, but we don't punish.

I think that when children are relatively close in age and are close to the same stage of development it's pretty easy to manage more than one. Some people feel that is double the work though.

We have a rack in each closet that has three bags. One bag is for dark, another bag is for lights and the third bag is for towels and bedding. When each bag is full enough to justify doing a load, we do it.

I have been home the last week and it has been great to relax with the family. I dread the post holiday stress I know I will face. I have to get serious about stress management.

I worked at a home improvement place part time for a year. At Christmas they gave us an employee discount of 20%. We were planning to build a big deck so we bought all the framing materials there and it saved us about $400.

Do you think you will be in this situation permanently? What do you think will happen with the baby's parents? What do you hope happens?

I would have two homes. I would have a home where it is cool in the summer and I would have a home where it is warm in the winter. I really hate the cold.

I wonder how all the returning veterans from Iraq are going to do trying to find jobs in this economy. I wonder how other people are going to feel about them having priority for hiring.

My parents always gave each of their sons a nice tool as a gift for special occasions. By the time we were grown, we had full tool boxes.

People have all kinds of different values when it comes to their children and when it comes to Christmas. I am surprised that the amount is as high as $271.

I would only consider sending my children to a boarding school if the circumstances made it a necessity. I think it is much better for a family to function as a unit as much as possible.

I am sort of amazed by parents who object to vaccinating their kids. I'm not really sure what all the paranoia is about. What do you think?

In our state, a person has one chance to request a different judge, so I would imagine it is similar in other states. If that happens enough, the state will realize they have a problem judge.

You might want to think twice about drinking Coke. I know a lady who uses it to clean her toilets, and she says it works great.

I had not heard he was fired. Wow. Maybe since he was planning to retire anyway, maybe he decided to do the "manly" thing and take the heat for the rest. Still kind of a cop out.
