1. How much exercise have you gotten this week so far?

2. Do you get your father and/or the father of your child/ren something for Father's Day?

3. If you were given $10,000 today, what would you do with it?

<<OMG, just admit you made a mistake>>

What mistake did I make????

<< And why would you think Spring would know bupkis about your the wife of the President of your particular University? >>

That was my point exactly!  She seems to think she knows lots about others that she doesn't. So her speaking about the activities of my Univ President wouldn't be out of characte for her.

Dear lord, I read it wrong as you said the "President's Wife" which I ASSUMED (wrongly) was Obama's wife.

"Actually yes, you are wrong about the wealthy not using investment services." LOL, I was thinking the same thing @@ The people I know who have very serious, inherited fortunes are out living their lives, not dealing with the nitty-gritty of managing the money.

Chestnut, I am just giggling over the "intra-family" transfers as a sign of true wealth. We do those, and we are not that wealthy.

I love summer, there is time for a family vacation, weekend road trips AND parties/cookouts with local friends.  The only time I have to *choose* one over the other is when there is a conflict of dates....

I guess I should be but am not persuaded that others met someone off board.  I read what is written.  Sorry.  It's a habit!  When someone posts infrequently, and only to put down others and insult, I get it, Bea.  It's not complicated.  I pointed it out.

Do you think anyone here at all posts only to insult?  I sure do.  And I don't understand it.  So, I called 'Nut on it.  It's fun for me, but 'Nut clearly got her feathers ruffled.  Again, not one of my big concerns today. ;)

"No, I never said that."aid that you Actually, you did. You said that you go on one big vacation a year, *instead of* weekend trips. That implies that you choose the former over the latter.

That's nice. Do you take big family vacations? Where do you go? With 7 people it must cost a FORTUNE Surprised

We choose big vacations as we are not interested in the weekend roadtrips, never have been. It is really not a "choice" between the 2 though as we never made it an either or.

lol. I am not really too impressed by all that stuff anyway as it IS a college so you would hope they would have things for the students. My high school has weight rooms and such for the kids to use so why not a college? If you are talking about a "regular" job than that would be different.
