don't see where you extrapolated "if they didn't have a lot of money, they were failures" from any of the TV shows of the 50's. in an encyclopedia, it went on explaining the origins of "The American Dream" and all this other detailed info. and it said that wealth was success, and if people weren't weal

that's really cool. i've always wished that i had brothers and sisters closer to my age. almost 7 years b/t Jasmine and I, and 11 years between Noah and I. I love them anyway. Noah has been down playing with his train sets all morning, and Jasmine listening to the soundtrack for that broadway show i was telling you about. it's funny how sometimes i feel like another mother for them, and o

Why do we do the things we do? What makes us get up out of bed every day, and go to work, or school in my case? What is our motivation in the activities we are involved in, and why do we enjoy them, or if we don't, why do we do them?
