Are we the only country that does not have full time school??? I thought Summer vacation was a throw back to the times when most people were farming and needed the kids home to work the crops in the Summertime. Illinois couldn't afford year round school. Couldn't afford to keep the lights on year round at all the schools. This state is so messed up.

delusional as it seems, was not that cold last winter and compared to early 70s last winter was a joke. Knowing that those who compile yearly snow totals say last years was the second snowiest ever and one of the coldest ever, your thought is very delusional. Maybe in certain parts, but does not seem we had a lot of snow, and I worked in it all winter, the 70s - 80s were much worse.

Too much snow for my blower. I had to hire "a guy" to clear my driveway. THREE times, just to be able to get the car to the store.

Ha, MM I spent several days this summer working with a 9 yr old on penmanship, a lefty at that:-) Some have eluded to the importance of family, & I agree, the most important, of the missing ingredients in our society at this point in time, is family involvement with & worthwhile expectations for children.
