1. Will you be shopping on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

2. "5 months of bills...." as the song says. Do you have a budget for the holidays or do you have "5 months of bills..."?

3. What is one food that most people make for Thanksgiving that you do not like?

4. Do you dress up for Thanksgiving?

Bawwahhhaa!! Nope. I had a GREAT childhood. My parents allowed me to be a child. There is enough time to be an adult.

Dear KA, I just feel so sad inside, so very, very sad inside, because you didn't have a childhood. I mean, I could almost cwy ... if I weren't rolling on the floor laughing my rear end off at the whole exchange.

Why does it have to be a contest?

I am the first to admit that my father's alcoholism cut my childhood quite short, but that is a very different thing from criticizng parents who wish to expose their children to something other than inane and tasteless things, or who wish to retard their children's growth and interests. I am beginning to suspect the real problem is not that some children grow up too quickly, but rather that some never really do.

I try to be very specific in my communication regardless of the topic. It is, IMO, an effective way of communicating. If you believe that the details in my posts are all directed at you, you are sadly mistaken. There are details in my posts directed at you if they are details that you have previously used as part of a debate tactic. There are other details in my posts directed at the board in general and related to memories of previous discussion, such as the references to underage baking. There are other details in my posts related to the point I am trying to make.

I guess I should feel badly that I didn't have a full childhood since instead of taking us to Disney, my parents took us to Europe where we visited places like Stonehenge, a ton of cathedrals, a few homes of famous poets and authors, the salt mines in Austria, to see various works of Michelangelo in Italy, etc.

Thank you. I enjoyed my childhood a great deal, am grateful to my parents for the way they raised me, and am doing what I can to give my children a very similar childhood. It is entertaining to know that others think my childhood is less appealing than the cookie cutter one that is apparently the definition of childhood for some.
