        <![CDATA[ I thought I would start this up. This day just gets better and better. I still haven't heard from that person about the job. He told me Tuesday night that if I did not receive and email Wednesday then email him, which I did. I have not received anything back today.Job is still driving me insane. I have been on the verge of breaking down crying all day. Went to buy shampoo and dropped my billfold and all the change fell out of the change part and all over the store floor.Just one bad thing... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh, here in Dallas it is insane.  Mom came up today and I helped her finish up her Christmas shopping and it was like taking your life in your own hands. 
Everywhere you went people were cutting people off and honking at them, cutting them off to get parking places.  I was in an elevator in a parking garage and
one man was tell us how he saw two men almost get into a fight over a parking place.  I was stupid enough to go out early on Black Friday and it was nowhere
near as bad as it was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ To answer Marilee and anyone else who is curious; NO, Cassie has not found her cell phone. We have an option from T-Mobile so that we WON&#39;T have to pay the
$200 breach of contract fee. We have to buy her another phone, but we can still keep her on the existing plan for no extra a month. So, we are going to buy her
the most absolute dirt cheap phone we can get that T-Mobile services. That will be nicer to our wallet than having to pay $200, even though I HATE having to
buy her a new one,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Gaz and I went shopping last night at the big Westfield at Parramatta and it was just like any other Thursday night - no crazy crowds and easy enough to find a
parking space. Gaz noticed this and I said to him, just wait until the week before Xmas, you won&#39;t wanna come near this place. I swear they release the
crazies on Xmas week. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I mostly buy online not only because I find I do end up with better deals ( and it IS so nice to have stuff delivered right to your door ) but several years of
seeing people be complete jerks over things to buy just turned me off to the whole going out and doing it thing. Unless it&#39;s like a day or two before
Christmas, then the malls and stores are not very crowded at all and you can actually enjoy it and not feel so stressed out.

			<description><![CDATA[ The UK can&#39;t be far behind the US commercialism. It seems that Christmas is really about how much you spend on what. Forget the goodwill blah blah. In
fact, over the age of about 6, kids just want money.
<br>
<br>
I buy on the internet. Bah humbug.
<br>
<br>
Although I did get a fab dolls house for my niece&#39;s wee girl who&#39;s not yet 3. It&#39;s padded and all it&#39;s furniture is padded and I play with it
nearly every day. It&#39;ll be sadly missed. ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m curious to know if this commercialism is unique to the US?
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m afraid to go to the stores btwn Thanksgiving and Christmas. People are so freaking rude and get mad just about any little thing. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Domino. Nice to meet you, although under crappy circumstances. But Nature has method to madness. You may have lost a fridge, but will gain something even
better in the long run. There is always something positive that comes out of a negative, if you allow it. My hubby has taught me that if someone steals
something from you, he/she probably needed it more and God will reward you with something better for your sacrifice. ]]></description>

right now.  Not that she&#39;d help out anyway, the crazy witch.  And around here, if someone picked it up, they junked it, so there&#39;s no way the cops
would find it.  I bet it was the guy that saw me sitting outside not too long ago and stopped to ask if we wanted to get rid of it so he could junk it.

into the house yet.  I guess dad went home the other day and it was missing.  He thought maybe the brother that gave it to us came and got it to junk it, as
was his original intention.  Dad asked him today and he aid no.  So that means someone drove by our house, no one was home and they loaded it up and took off.

			<description><![CDATA[ No insult taken by this Taurian woman. I have maybe a solution, a method I use with my kids. Maybe get your daughter (depending on her age), a part-time job
until she pays back the $200 or get her to do a whole lot of chores  (that will save you money), around the house to make up for the money you have to pay. You
could also get her to sell some of her own stuff to pay for the bill. It hurts your heart, but they soon learn the lesson and the value of money. The one time
my youngest son broke... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, I guess people don&#39;t get this because it&#39;s easier to give kids something than it is to teach responsibility, consequences or boundaries. So many
kids are being turned into consumers, rather than citizens of the world.
<br>
I&#39;ve actually had some of my friends tell me they are afraid their kids will get upset or be bored if they say that big horrible word &quot;no&quot;
whenever their kids want things. Saying no or being bored isn&#39;t the end of the world. The way I see it,... ]]></description>

<br>
I suspect some parents over compensate and give their kids everything they didn&#39;t have. A lot of people I know indulge their kids out of guilt because they
don&#39;t have time for them. They&#39;re making the mistake of teaching their kids that happiness comes from material things...it&#39;s fleeting gratification
that fills the void. Having the latest... ]]></description>
