My mother had a copy of the lunar landing module made by a blacksmith and affixed it to her chimney in honor of her rocket scientist. >>

God! Really? I had to do BOTH. Six days a week of religion. Feh! No wonder I'm pagan now. ~~ Sooz

Fortunately, it's changed now. Manda had religion class every day in parochial school, and it wasn't all Catholic dogma. She learned a lot about comparitive religions, from Hinduism, to Buddhism, to modern pagan beliefs. I was so impressed - I expected the Catechism classes of my childhood.
One time, Manda was invited to a festival at a local Hindu temple, at a time which conflicted with a Communion rehearsal. Her religion teacher not only gave permission for Manda to skip the rehearsal, she told Manda how lucky she was to have the opportunity to experience a Hindu festival in person! I was shocked - certainly the nuns of my childhood wouldn't have been anywhere near as accepting.

When she sold the house and moved to Houston be near her rocket scientist, she left the landing module on her chimney. I assumed she was taking it with her or I would have asked for it. By the time I knew she wasn't keeping it I was back in Alaska, the Oakland house was sold, and she was in Texas. Darn it!

Is her school Jesuit? Our nuns were Sisters of the Holy Names (Jesuit), and our instruction was very much directed toward thoughtful inquiry. Fifty years ago! I was lucky.

Nope. Sisters of Providence. The nuns of my childhood were the Sisters of St. Joseph, whose goal seemed to be blind obedience.
You were very lucky.

I bought the beads with my business account. I keep those completely separate and pay myself with whatever extra I receive for my beads. Also we do not go to the movies or buy movies to watch. Whatever we get are presents from people. McDonalds is a huge "TREAT" for all of us. We eat out maybe once to twice a month. That is including McDonald's. And I don't know if you read the previous post, but I have a lot of things come up this month and that was the "STRAW." Also we got another bill for $90.00 for the dr. office that insurance is saying they are not going to cover.
Just to let you know a little inside on my life.
If you have an HMO, the doctor cannot balance bill you for what the insurance doesn't pick up. Call your insurance company and verify that that is what you owe BEFORE paying that bill.

Yeah, but a PPO has certain limits too, the copays for the office visits for example. Double check and triple check, before you lay out any cash! (I'm a PPO gal too!)
