She is a freshman, she will figure that one out soon enough.

Go Headliner! Mine started today. So far she's made a new friend on facebook during class time so yea off to a good start. Oye.

But have you fulfilled your parental duty to guide her to this by saying "You should absolutely be buying every book and not saving the money and then spending it on stupid stuff! I forbid that!"

So why the heck is Labor Day a good time to buy a car or matress??? It seems every store and buisness is having a Labor Day sale.....:mad:

It makes not sense to me....:confused:

In the case of cars, the new model year (in this case, 2015) comes out soon (some have started already) and they want to clear out the previous model year before no one is interested and they lose more value.

Also, aren't mattresses ALWAYS on sale?

The boy starts in a month. So far he has picked the clubs he wants to join! Not so serious yet, I have hopes though!

I have also picked up another teenage son. oh well, the more the merrier! This one wants to be a chef. It is fun and a little frustrating sharing my kitchen for the first time.

I need a new mattress but am unsure which to go with....air, memory foam or good old box spring.

I have memory foam, and really like it. However, my wife like a firmer mattress than I do, and am considering a the Sleep Number for next time. I think they even offer it with a memory foam top if I'm not mistaken. The best of both worlds, perhaps. I have read some unpleasant reviews online (face it- only bad reviews make uit online 90% of the time) about water condisation on the outide of the mattress causing mold growth in humid areas of the country. So I'm not sure about that part...

To the swanky moms and dads of new college students, many hugs. And I never do hugs. Only for you.

To the swanky frosh, Facebook and alcohol do not mix.
