Great ideas Tashi! You are right, there should be some sort of website offering matches for single socks.

Wonderful example Dale! Please post some photos of your red rose bush, if you can. I am partial to red roses, myself.

Angela, that is my feeling as well. There wasn't enough good stuff getting in to the diets of these children.

Ah, now that is a great idea. It would probably work for everyone in our family with the exception of our daughter, who likes to coordinate her socks. But perhaps hers could be kept separate. Brilliant.

Great points. We are coming up on our 10th anniversary, and even that number surprises some. Do you know what the average length of a marriage today is?

Yes, flexibility in a recipe is important when you want to save money. It sounds like you could even do a fridge or pantry clean out with this one, to prevent leftovers from going to waste.

Seashelled. I am so sorry that you are having to go through such a difficult time. I can "hear" the pain and confusion that it is causing in your life. No one ever expects divorce when they marry the love of their life.

There is something to be said about having your eyes open and being practical. After all, marriages involve humans, and humans are fallible. Marriages take work, but that doesn't diminish the solemnity and sacredness. I'll have to continue to respectfully disagree to see it otherwise.

Wonderful ideas, Michele. We usually do the gift card thing, but this year my son wanted to give gifts that were a bit more personal.

The gifts do tend to add up, don't they? I only have one in school, but there is the classroom teacher, the gifted ed teacher, the violin teacher (and a separate music teacher), the art teacher, and the bus driver to consider. Whew. Think they will all want Silly Bandz? Ha ha.

MNTASHI: what a wonderful thing to do in a restaurant. I got an extra coupon for a free Chick-fil-a sandwich to be used today, and I may just have to pass it on to a stranger in your honor. Your situation is a perfect example good things coming back around. Thanks for sharing!
