  Welcome! It's great that you are getting out. Just Ron and I wasted the entire decade of our 30s in the Borg.

  Maybe we should stage our own anti-memorial, Troubled Mind. We could meet in Springfield, or where ever is half way between us and split a bottle of wine and some crackers LOL.

  The World is going to end...

  ..one day, as will our lives.

  any day could be the last day of our existence... with that in mind, how would you want to spend your final hours, if you knew that your life was going to end tomorrow?

  what would you like to say on that last day, and to whom?.

  I would want to spend my last hours with my husband and children, let them know how much I love them and how proud I am of them.

  Dear Abby gives some good advice

  dear abby: my boyfriend was raised in a family that didn't celebrate holidays, including birthdays.

  they converted to that religion when he was 10, and while he no longer identifies with that religion, he still doesn't recognize any celebrations.. i was raised with all the traditions surrounding the holidays and the family time that comes with it.

  i feel they are very important.

  DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend was raised in a family that didn't celebrate holidays, including birthdays. They converted to that religion when he was 10, and while he no longer identifies with that religion, he still doesn't recognize any celebrations.

  I was raised with all the traditions surrounding the holidays and the family time that comes with it. I feel they are very important. I have tried explaining this to him, but his attitude toward holidays borders on hatred. He recently told me he wants me to stop including him in activities or conversations related to holidays and birthdays, and I'm not sure what to do. He finds the same activities acceptable as long as they don't happen around a holiday and are not associated with one.

  Would it be unfair to ask him to compromise and share certain traditions with me, in light of the fact that he has no family traditions to bring to the table? -- NO HAPPY BIRTHDAYS

  DEAR NO HAPPY BIRTHDAYS: You could ask him to compromise, but it would be unrealistic to expect that someone with his ingrained attitude will do so. A fish and a bird may love each other, but it doesn't mean they can happily cohabit. If you want a happy relationship, find someone whose traditions more closely resemble your own.

  Maybe Dear Abby has been reading here? LOL
