I think we need a little fluff :)

1. Have you/Will you decorate(d) for the fall?

2. Have you started any Holiday shopping yet?

3. What is one food (or drink) that you look forward to when the weather gets cooler?

Bonus (it was a discussion at work yesterday and wondered others opinions):
4. If you were able to have an inheritance for your children (or maybe you have already experienced this with your own family), and you were able to live comfortably and was not relying on that money to survive, would you rather spend the money while you are alive and watch your children enjoy the money now or would you rather have it given to them when you died?

Limited in what way? We have 22 restaurants on the cruise ship to pick from, more on land when we dock and 100 at Disney (and of course more if you want to pay out of your pocket and have a rental car).

In this situation that you presented later in the debate, as opposed to yesterdays, it is clear that it's not about schedules, at all.

Well, that depends. Our family of six lives on the East Coast and dh's family all live on the West Coast. For us to fly out there to see his family, it's a pretty penny so even just to go stay with MIL (and have the rest of his family meet us there) is expensive. We budget for it, but we certainly don't get to do it often. We certainly can't do it every year, unfortunately. I'm sure there are many people who are in our situation (living far from family) who can hardly ever do it. You can't always pick a place that doesn't put someone in a financial bind.

Why would you want to take a cruise at that time in your life when you can't really enjoy it?

Have you ever been on a cruise before?

Didn't you say that you were going to Disney, again?

Yes, different hotel, different restaurants. This is for the kids as we promised them someday we would come back.

And that you were taking a cruise, again?

Yes, different cruise, different places.

Eating out is fun on occassion, but does get tiring very quickly.

Not when you have so many choices and different fares to choose from.

I don't know if I've ever said Never without there being obvious exaggeration and/or hyperbole.
