Okay, I have conceded defeat: I bought reading glasses. But I held out until 46. That's pretty good compared to most of my friends. A lot of them had glasses by 42. I've never had to wear glasses, and I think that makes it feel worse to me. Does that make any sense?

Just curious: do you buy white bread, wheat bread, or whole wheat bread? I admit I''m a stickler for whole wheat only.

First, sorry if this is TMI, but I was amused. Well, my son got ready for his first lacrosse practice of the season. He got out all of his protective gear: all of the pads and his cup. He got all dressed out for practice, but he kept fidgeting with his cup. Finally he said, "I can't get...

Just curious. If they do, when can you take them? We know somone whose school only allows them the senior year. Do you know how many AP classes are offered? My DD's high school offers APs and you can take them pretty much as soon as you are ready. She's in two now as a sophomore. The school...

What are the things you shouldn't do, as the parents of a teen? I mean the things that make you totally uncool, in the eyes of your kids. I didn't do this, but I know a parent who did: when you go to the school dance to pick up your kid, never walk out onto the dance floor to find her...

products in your home for cleaning? If so, what and why? If not, why not?

I'm so proud. My DS made the track team at his middle school. We live in a city so they actually get enough kids for track to have cuts! But he made it. Yay! Thank, I just had to brag to somebody.

Hey, I've already explained elsewhere that I was up too late and too early last night, so I'm warming up the espresso machine (bday present for DH - I found it at an estate sale). I started wondering what everyone's favorite coffee or tea drinks are? Any maybe alcoholic drinks? Pumpkin Spice...

Hey, Just woke up and can't get back to sleep. Any other insomniacs around?

Hi, My DD has received a nomination to represent NC as a National Scholar at the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC. I'm trying to find out more about it, if anyone knows anything. I have gone to their website; it looks legit. But it's pricey - out of our league. However, they...
