Hi all, my twin boys have read all the books that younger kids read. They never liked the Hardy Boys, understood since girls their age don't like Nancy Drew anymore either. They are finished with the Magic Treehouse and Goosebump/Fear Street series. They used to love disasters, especially shipwrecks and vocanic eruptions but not any more. Now they only like the "Wimpy Kid" books but they have already read them many times.

My daughter and I have tried to turn them onto books like "The Indian in the Cupboard" or "Because of Winn Dixie" or even Harry Potter but they refuse. They hate everything we suggest. Do any of you have ideas for them? Thanks. I'm at my wit's end.

I shared a campus apartment with 3 others. 1 roomate was Jewish and another was a daughter of Nazis from Germany (literally) whose parents didn't deny the Holocaust, but felt it was a good thing. She told everyone Hitler was a good man. Naturally, the Jewish girl got different housing soon and I got different housing after the semester. The third girl stayed with the Naziette since they were such good friends. Go figure.

Cats, of course. They already know the mistakes we have made and would correct them. And to quote Mark Twain, "If man could be crossed with a cat, it would improve man but deterioate the cat."

bread and cheese and I will never grow tired of them

The female singer for the Jefferson Airplane.

If it can be fictional, I'd ask Mr. Pickwick. And I'd love to dine at the court of Edward VII. Those feasts sound magnifigant.

Harrison Ford as John Book

I say, "And Jem will wake up in the morning," My husband says, "I love the smell of napalm. It smells like victory." Go figure.

It hadn't in the sense that they could go on the computer and find what the names of the Great Lakes are, for example. That was like reading an encyclopedia. However, since our printer is broken, and we can't afford to fix it, they get points off since their well researched papers are hand written. And I don't know if we can pay our internet bill next month. So, yes, technology's constant presence has affected my children's education to their detriment.

Animals.

The day after Thanksgiving and they don't come down until January 6, Epiphany.

Worst books I have read: Moby Dick, anything by Fennimore Cooper and Charlotte Bronte.

I love anything by Roberson Davies, William Faulkner and the early and late Romantic poets.If I just want a fun and dirty book, I just read Judy Blume.

Since this question is sponsered by Best Buy, it is not a question. It is an opportunity for Best Buy to try to get us to buy. Don't answer anyone.

When the minister asked if I would take him as my husband and I said, "I do". I should have said "No effing way" and run from the church like Elaine did.

Hank Stamper from Ken Kesey's "Sometimes a Great Notion". Kesey had a way with creating such sexy and full blooded men in a way Hemmingway never could. And, as an aside, I really loved Kesey's writing.

But what if you're gay? Do they not tell if they're mandated to serve? And what a stupid question about the current system. It has always been inequal: poor kids sign up, rich kids go to college. And question for the Libertarian: Why are you for it when your whole philosophy is not having the government interfere with individual choices? That's all I have to say.

Sadly, this question is more important than stopping with friends. My sister and I were, gasp, Democrats!!!.

She has now become,from her influence with her husband,so rightwing that even Ronald Reagan would raise his eyebrows. It's hard for me to talk to her since I believe in rights for all and she only thinks white men with money have any say. I won't even commenthow she now perceives women, although she herself is one.

Boneless/skinless chicken marinated in low-fat Italian dressing grilled
Couscous cooked in homemade lowfat chicken stock with carrot pieces and black pepper
Big salad with lots of lettuce, cukes, celery, tomatoes with homemade dressing
Huge brownie or a piece of cake, made from scratch of course
All done in under an hour except for the time decorating the cake with butter cream icing

I would eat lobster,king crab legs with butter/lemon; sea scallops with sea water; fried fish and chips with lemon/tarter sauce and ketchup followed by a grilled cheese sandwich and a blond brownie. All consumed with a gallon of milk.

The worst advice I ever got was from my mother. She said,"Take French instead of Spanish." I live in the US. My mother spent hours screaming at me because I wasn't good at French. I still cannot speak French and I wish I had learned Spanish.
