2. If you could remodel any room in your home (at someone else's expense), what room and what would you do?
3. Global warming--does it really matter?
4. Swimming: pool, lake, river or ocean?

Good Morning everyone!

A few questions for fun:

We love to watch football together (we are huge U of Mich fans) and we love to watch and play basketball. All three kids play basketball.

3. Global warming--does it really matter?
Yes, it matters, but I agree with others that we will adapt.

POOL
5. BEST money saving advice? No shopping.


I'm so glad the kids don't go back to school til after Labor Day. I took tomorrow off and we are going to spend the day back-to-school shopping. Girls basketball practice begins on Monday. DH is doing pretty good. His new kidney is still working great. Unfortunately his vision has gotten much worse. He has had cataracts for several years due to the steroids he takes for his tranplanted kidney. Well he had to take mega-doses of steroids for a few weeks after the new transplant in April and he is still on a higher dose than before, so that has made the cataracts much worse. He can't read at all and can't use the computer, can't drive and he has to have the lights on in the house even during the day. More lights on the better for him. He is calling today for an appointment with his diabetic eye doctor. So far the eye doctors don't want to remove the cataracts because they say DH's overall health is too fragile, etc.
Jessica had her first paid babysitting job last Sunday. She had to be next door at 5:30AM to take care of a 2 year old and a 4 year old all day while the mom was at work. She worked til 3:30PM. I told her that she might make $35 but I wasn't sure. She came home so excited because she got paid $70. When Elizabeth heard that, she said she gets the next babysitting job.
