I just heard the call from the girl who was tired of being picked on because she was short. I am not too short (5'4), but my husband and my kids are.

Today we had a debate on day care for our speech class (for college) and I was the lead speaker for the side that argues against day care (it was 2 guys, versus 3 girls who supported day care).

I have to say you have been a blessing to my life and especially with my marriage. I would describe my marriage in two phases: Pre-Book and Post Book. The book in question is your "The Proper Care And Feeding Of Husbands." When my wife advised this was the only thing she wanted for Christmas, I got it for her that day (December 7) early.
