OOOooooo I see this heading down hill QUICK!!!!

What I miss most is not being at home to greet my kid. Still with both me and my wife working we may actually be able to send him to the college he wants to attend. With luck we won't be broke by the end of it. I do miss my mom's chicken paprikash (sp?). I still have not gotten it right and the dumplings... just cant get them the same way.... and yes I cook and cook well.

Yep, this could head down hill, but I hope not.

Just a thought about sending your child to the college he wants; Will he appreciate it as much if you pay for the education yourself (i.e. give it to him), or would be better if he had to work to earn that education? (say in going through the military, or taking a job while in school to pay for some, if not all of the costs?

Again, just a thought.

It is just outrageous what college cost these days and it is only going up. Our politicians must hear us concerning this matter. And ya know, it didn't use to be that way, college used to be affordable.
