To all the parents out there: How did you make out with all the back to school shopping? What were your strategies for spending/saving/reusing/trading/not buying/delaying/dealing with your purchases? How did the kids feel about going back to school with what you had bought or not bought or not bought yet? Was there a lot of fighting or were the kids understanding? What was the top item that your children wanted? Did you have other folks helping (family, charity, friends, etc.) with making your purchases?

To all adult students: How was it getting yourself back to school? What was the top priority item on your list? Did shoping for clothes matter much to you? Were you looking for items for a dormitory/apartment, and where did you buy them? What kind of things are you being charged for a school now that were free in the past? Did you learn anything you can share about wise purchasing as an adult student? Are you accumulating student loan debt that you are unsure how to pay back? Do you have a plan?

In this more competative world, I hope everyone stops to consider continuing education...or even learning for the pleasure of it!

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR LIBRARY CARD IS?????
