Leo in the Jewish culture you're not supposed to name your child after a living relative because supposedly it confuses the angel of death and one or the other will die. I know this sounds like an old wives tale, but when my Spencer was born my sister gave him 2 middle names. One was my father's first name and the other was my dearest uncle's first name. 1 week to the day after the birth certificate being signed my uncle passed away. Of course he was sick prior to his passing, but it certainly was an odd coincedence

Xena has a good point. When I was working and had Spencer in Day Care. (something I personally am not a fan of)
I was paying $600 a month in child care. I couldve bought another car for that. Though California does offer some great programs to help with the cost of daycare. I didnt find that out till he was already of school age.

Interesting Link Tres, thanks. I dont know why someone would name their kid Jehovah. But I did find only 35 people with my last name on that link.

Well, you won't get too many people in california saying how sucky it is out here.
I have more cents to add besides my last two...... this is correct. I've had the opportunity to live back East in the New Jersey/ New York area, I've also lived down south in the Ohio/Kentucky/ Tennessee areas, and spent an extended amount of time in Washington with family. I've visited many European countries as well. But my favorite place thus far is Southern California. Beware though, I had a friend from Wisconsin move out here last year. It was fun for her at first, but eventually she just prefered the Mid-West lifestyle better and went back home. Oh yeah, if you decide to move out here, at least to Southern California, you better learn some Spanish, you'll need it.

I never saw the first one, but I saw the 2nd this weekend. It was fabulous! This is the first movie in a long time that made me laugh so hard I cried. In fact I cant even remember the last time I laughed so hard in a movie theatre. It was loads of fun. My favorite scene is Pinnocio doing "Mission Impossible". I have to say GO SEE IT. It completely lives up to all the hooplah in my opinion.

This is what happens when you move out to cali.
Actually, just wanted to second some of the other posts here. The cost of living is ridiculous. We pay the most for gas and we drive the farthest. It's a concrete jungle. Here's some of the perks though:
Depending on what part of Cali you chose, like where I live; you're just a small drive from the mountains, the beach, the dessert, and Hollywood. There is a great diversity of people and cultures. The best Mexican food this side of Mexico. Lots of sunshine. A day trip from Vegas and Mexico. And our Govenor is the Terminator. It doesnt get much better than that.

Reasons why men are.............
by Stefanie ingreat.. they smell good.

is there something wrong if the men in my life never had a shirt with holes in it... ?? I can't remember any.. and I almost always am the only one to do laundry
Yes Sassy! Problem is you're not putting anough Bleach in with the laundry. My mom had a thing about EVERYTHING being super white, she always used too much bleach and EVERY shirt my dad owned had holes in it. Go stock up on some bleach and join the crowd Sas
p.s. Thanks Stef.... this is a cute thread. Not sure about them smelling good though, mine usually smells like sour dough in the morning. I joke that it gives me a craving for a Subway sandwich
