Kara I would go more expensive too!
I had a rude pay tv salesman come around yesterday. Because we have that national "do not call" list, they start coming around to your house instead! I answered the door, saw his shirt and knew what he wanted. This was the conversation
MAN "I have a great deal for you today!"
Me " not interested thanks" going to close door
MAN " You haven't even heard the deal, you won't want to miss it"
Me "no thanks"
MAN " you can watch all you want for free for 2 months"
Me " We don't watch that much tv"
MAN "do you own a tv"
Me "yes"
MAN rolling his eyes at me "so you own a tv but you don't watch it" sarcastically rolling eyes again.
Me "yep, no thanks, bye".
He walked off grumpily. I should of stopped him the first sentence. I have a mind to call his company and complain!
Nicole, what have I told you about owning a tv and not watching it 24/7? Shame on you! 
LOL Lexie!  I am laughing about both of your stories
Rachel, your relative sounds pleasant.

One time a man came to our door selling magazines. When Mom didn't want to order any he starting ranting and raving about how the people in the neighborhood could afford these nice homes but they couldn't afford to buy some magazines. HUH?! It kind of freaked Mom out a bit because there had been a case or two of women being raped by men coming to the door selling things like that.
That would make me feel nervous too... Yeah, I wish the ladies at that restaurant would have just treated my grandma like she treated them... It was the worst when we were in public with my great grandma (her mom) She was always SO rude to her and treated her like a child. I hated that. When my great grandma lost her mind (she imagined stuff all the time and thought she was still married to the younger version of her husband) she never remembered my grandma... but she always remembered who I was!  It drove my grandma crazy, but why would her mom want to remember a daughter who was mean to her for the last few years of her life? I was always nice to her and she remembered me because my cousin and I made a picture book for her when we were both quite young that she looked through all the time.

So I got to thinking about all the pirate stuff that's out for kids right now. Marshall's been invited to a couple of pirate themed parties, several of Luke's preschool shows have done pirate episodes, etc, etc.
From what I've read real pirates for vicious and cruel. They were often blood thirsty and were a serious threat. The sight of a pirate ship would panic a crew and passengers.
It seems to me that all this pirate kid stuff now would be the equivalent of 200 years from now kid's having urban gang parties for their birthdays. Maybe it's just me...

I think that will depend on whether or not Hollywood glamorizes urban gangs... We like Pirate themed things around here, but they are nostalgic for me.

And yet, oddly enough, a pirate ship was an early example of a true democracy. The captain led during an actual battle, but all decisions about where to go, who to raid, etc... those were all made by majority vote.
History is so weird.

Why do I now have this image of little girl Ryanne in full pirate garb (complete with five o'clock shadow) standing on the deck of a pirate ship with her parents. I think it was the word nostalgic that did it... or maybe I just need serious counseling... probably both!
--Kat
Hm... I should dig up those Halloween pictures, LOL! One year we "dressed" my mom's black Expedition in a full pirate ship costume, and then our entire family wore pirate costumes. It was wonderful.

I'm personally not really into the whole pirate thing, nothing against it or anything, I just tend to not really get into fads...I feel its overdone. Kind of like Winnie the Pooh everything for babies. No offense to anyone, but I am tiring of everything baby having Winnie the Pooh on it. I think its cute, I like it to an extent, but its SOO overdone.

I totally agree, Erin. I do not shop for Hunter's clothing at Sears because majority of it has Winnie the Pooh on it. No offense to those who like that, but personally not for me. I have never been into characters on infant/child clothing to begin with.
Pirate thing I have never really thought of it, but it doesn't bother me at this point one way or another. My nephew was a pirate for Halloween last year and mighty cute. That could be a double no-no though Halloween and dressed as a pirate

We don't do any characters on anything, we also don't really buy into much of that sort of "commercialism".

Anyone ever hear about Patch the Pirate? It's a Christian based :)
Also: I found a Kid's Club who used the Patch the Pirate curriculum, etc.
Anyways, those were my thoughts when I heard y'all talking about pirates

We have a Patch the Pirate CD and the accompanying music book. I love those songs.

I know my estimated attendance cost per year is around 30k... which means that in five years it'll end up to be around 150k,
That is crazy, how do people afford that? My 4 year BA cost me $16,000 total, my post-grad cost me $3000. A friend of mine is at med school right now and that is $17,000 a year.

Hey! That's a typical birthday party in my neighbourhood!!! (I shouldn't have used so many exclamation points because I'm serious.)

WOW! That's amazing! One of my sunday school students just got accepted in to a private Bible college and the tuition is $24K/yr. there. Thankfully he has a full b-ball scholarship. The private Bible college I attended was around $14K/yr. When I attended university it cost me around $2K/semester to go full time, but I didn't have room/board.
I think medical school here is between $100-200K, I've heard anyway! I guess depending on where you go.
Hubby checked on getting his MBA and it will cost $15,000.

Our tuition is lower than in the US because the government subsidises about 2/3 of it. The government gives the universities money which makes tuition lower for us (I'm not completely sure how it works).
When Dh started university his tuition was $1800 a year...the good old days!

Hey, dude! I have to pay for my own college! You pay for yours! LOL, no, I think it's all fine and good he was raising money like that. His sad little mindset just cracked me up.
Or I can wait 2.5-3 years and pay only $15k
