How old do you think children should be before they join social networks like Facebook and MySpace?

I think it depends on the child and the family.  We just let Cody join FB this summer at the age of 12.  The main reason was for him to keep in contact with his friends back in ND.  I'm on his friends' list so I can monitor all of his activity.  I think that's the real key - parents' monitoring what their child is doing online.  We went to a great lecture on social networking at the beginning of school and were told that FB is much safer than MySpace so that made me feel better.  I'm guessing we won't wait quite as long to let Jace to join.

If you could only drink one beverage for the rest of your life (not including water), which one would you choose?

Easy.  Pacific Spice Chai Tea.

There's a chill in the air. Show us your favorite coat.

I have 2 favorite coats but have only managed to get a picture with one so far so will have to share the other one later.  My mom bought this one for me this summer.

What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?

Growing up, we took a vacation every Labor Day weekend to the Black Hills in South Dakota.  On one of those trips, I got the stomach flu plus an asthma episode.  My friend, Michelle, came with who also has asthma and she ended up with the same thing.  We spent the weekend together on the floor in the bathroom thinking we were going to die!

Which do you prefer? City life or country living?

I am in no means a city girl.  Anything over 50,000 is too big for me.  Jamestown was actually an awesome size.  It has a population of 15,000 and had a Super Walmart and a mall.  The population here is about 4500.  It's really nice, too.  I guess what I really prefer is town living because although I don't like cities, I also wouldn't want to live way out of town.

What's the last movie you saw in the theater? Rented?

Theater - "G-Force"  (can't say I loved it)

Rented - "Howard the Duck"

Which relative - dead or alive - do you wish you knew better?

My paternal grandfather.  He died quite awhile before I was born.  That's the one who had a heart attack while flying his plane and my grandma had to land it even though she didn't know how to fly.  I don't think I ever mentioned that my dad still has the plane and flew it himself up until a few years ago.  My brother is wanting to take flying lessons, too.  Personally, I find it scary!

What's the best compliment you've received lately?

At his reunion, one of Ray's classmates told me I was just as pretty as my mom.

Would you rather have one best friend or ten acquaintances? Why?

Definitely one best friend.  I've always been one of those people who has to have a best friend - that one person you can always go to.  Of course now that I'm married, Ray is my best friend but its different than a girlfriend.  I have a few best friends from grade school, a best friend from middle school, high school, college, and Jamestown.
