Perhaps we should be putting an emphasis on trade schools so the next generation can be the plumbers, carpenters, and electricians in India, China, and Mexico.

^Speaking of whom, she's been pretty silent (or absent) lately (missed a lot of the recent, er, fun).
Should we worry about her? HPH

I wouldn't worry...we had lunch last week and she's taking time for herself. I'm sure she'll check in at some point.

We've chatted on the phone and passed a few emails back/forth. She'll check in at some point.Edit: Worry? At times, sure. All the time? No. About money? Never. If I need more money I'll get a job. About my kids? Of course, it comes with being a mother. I feel that worry over things about which I have no control is absolutely senseless. Sometimes when it comes to mistakes I think the kids are making, I worry, but I usually get over that pretty quickly when I stop to think that they have to be in control of their own lives and its not my job to tell them what to do.

I do worry about my kid too. He belongs to a housing group in college and he had to organize a "Hookah" event that is a tradition. I don't like that one bit but what can I do? Hopefully, he will realize that it is not a good thing and will not set his foot in that path. But only he can make decisions that will impact his life. I take a similar stand. He will live his life and I can only do what I can to alert him of the possible consequences. Worry? Definitely.
