Mom, here's an article for you to read. It's on the topic of donating to charity on behalf of your loved ones instead of giving them gifts!
Well, my sister that lives in California told me that a neighbour's 21 year old university-aged son just committed suicide. Apparently there's been 4 this year at Stanford University. We really have to be careful of stress in young kids. Talk to your children?
Can you believe a company like GM could go bankrupt? The world must be coming to an end.
I saw a young man leaving the gym this morning with a double stroller containing kids that couldn't have been more than 6 months old. He was on his own. It's usually a mom in that scenario. They have a child minding service there while you work out.

Christine I honestly think the pressure on kids is going to get worse with the economy as well. Fewer jobs more competition. Things are tough and we need to be talking about this with them moreso I think. Strange times are ahead of us I think. Yes I am a sugar addict.
Hey Christine
Thanks so much for the article I am going to print it out and pass in on the BIL!
I just heard no bail-out for any of the big three and here they are going to have a forced shut-down. It is sad the top get so much money and the workers are the ones that are going to go without.
Enjoy the weekend and try to stay warm!
That is so very sad about that young man and the other kids...
Lots of heavy news these days. The big story here is Wolworth's or Woolies going out of business.
I agree with the hot drinks story for sure!! Chamomile tea with honey and chicken soup. Off to read about being a sugar addict (I probably am) and food trends. Have a good weekend!
Lilly, I'm a sugar addict too!
Mom, you're welcome, it's a good article
Japra, that's too bad about Woolworth's...a sign of the times
Christine Thanks for giving us something to read. The 'no bailout' is a shame. But weren't those companies asking for loans, not a free ride? Or was it just Ford who was asking for a loan? This economy is getting harder to explain to my little ones who are beginning to look forward to embracing the job market once they finish college, (which is not too far away). It saddens me that the country is in such a disarray. I weep for the future.
Bibi, I think the bailout talks failed after the union wouldn't discuss lowering salaries. I guess we have to stay hopeful for our kids' sakes. It should help that they have to advice of a good mom like yourself.
