    What type of family....

    I think we have both come from the silver spoon side and the other side too; we understand the price of hard work and how to work for a dollar. Each family had their own bad times before so we can relate better than some can.

    Working for your friends?

    I did this years ago with a start up and someone while originally coming in as an investor only ended up trying to create a role for him when none was needed. This was done behind my back directly to our customer base and caused all sorts of issues when we ended up buying his share out and...

    Team workers?

    1/2 of my job requires that I work well with others and the other 1/2 requires that I work alone so I am bouncing between both every day. The problem with that is that sometimes team mates see me in only one role instead of both that I am in.

    always with the bad food

    Today for lunch he goes out to surprise us and brings us back junk food to eat for the mid day meal. I never mind it once in a while but every time its his turn to do food, really? I am here trying to lose weight. :(

    yearly bonus

    We had a few people in our area not get a year end bonus due to companies not sitting that well. In our house he got a bonus but I did not, I guess every little bit helps. How did the rest of you do this year?

    Watching Tonight?

    I am sure we will watch the ball drop but otherwise we will be spending most of the time with the kids outdoors until the sun goes down. Then its movie time for a while with a large festive dinner and popcorn for the movie.

    Amateur photography

    What type of camera is it? I am still trying to sort through the one I got mid-summer but slow and sure works. Trust me, I have been there and I still learn something new each time I turn the thing on.

    are you kidding?

    You know when its the last day of winter break and your kid just happens to get sick the night before they have to go back to school? That just happened to my husband. I have no idea how but I really hope I am not getting it.

    The most important values

    I think most parents want to teach a ton of things when getting back to the basics is the best bet. Sometimes when you over-do things even the small ones, it can turn into a big problem down the road.

    Father Get-Togethers?

    My husband never an issue with it but if its on a night when we have plans and I am ditching him which I understand. I would feel the same way if he ditched me for someone. :)

    too much stress - ahh

    I love the holidays but I never really enjoy any of the running around that we have to do in the 12th month of every year. This year we are pushing it trying to also visit some family down south which means a road trip, and also get the dog fixed this month. We have a week to cram all of this...

    If you were going to the movies

    We would probably go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but we are huge fans of Daniel Craig too. Also I think Mission Impossible is playing too, that is if its airing in your area too.

    Black and White Movies

    Casablanca is a classic but honestly we seldom watch black & whites anymore. It is nothing against them but we prefer color movies, then again we also like a ton of action movies, seldom see a B&W that we like.

    age + food = bad for a few days

    My taste buds have changed in the past ten years too but so far I am good with eating most things except for extremely spicy foods. I have never really had a liking towards spicy things to start with, maybe it is just something that changes as we get older?

    End of year bonus!

    I am so happy that we both ended up getting a bonus this year, for a while it was looking like our work places were not even thinking about it. No hints, no nothing, everyone just avoided the subject. Now we both have one and I am wondering what we can knock out with the house to do a little...

    Help wanted

    I could see Jack's point there, what about sitting him down and talking to him in a calm manner? Kids will push your buttons but when you let them know what they are you are just giving them a free pass.

    Boarding School

    I would guess that most parents have threatened about it before but we never really do anything about it since the cost is way up there. I doubt I could even afford it honestly and while we are not poor, we are not rich either.

    Tools for Christmas

    My husband is all about craftsman, any product even if he already has one because "you never know when you might lose one and need it". Seriously, we have to get him at least one tool a year otherwise he throws a hissy fit!

    Sherlock Holmes movie

    Did anyone get this movie and check it out? The one with Robert Downey Jr in it? My guy is a huge Sherlock fan and I am not sure if he would like this one or not (since its not "classic" exactly).

    Within the budget?

    If I answer mostly would that be okay? We found two great deals that pushed us a little over budget but not enough that means there will be no food on the table or anything like that.
