i'm pretty positive that those days would not be school holidays anywhere here in the USA. here in louisiana, my son's last day of school for the year is the 21st. if he has all A's then he will be exempt from finals and finish up on the 16th.

WHEW, thanks Rosie and Kady!! This used to be easier when we lived out West. The school board out there varied spring break so not all families were hitting the road at the same time. Not so here so I am just grabbing the kids and running in mid-May rather than fighting the crowds with everyone else the month earlier.

Darren's mom gave Dakota a porcelin Cinderella doll for Christmas. She's all dressed up in her ball gown and in one hand she's carrying a glass slipper. Attached to the other hand by a cord is a gold key. While I love most Disney movies, Cinderella was never one of my favorites. When Dakota showed me the doll and asked about the key, I thought maybe it went to something that came with the doll...a trinket box or a diary, but nope it was only the doll. She doesn't know why Cinderella is carrying a key (the glass slipper even I get, lol) and neither do I. Does a key play a part in the movie in any way or is it just some weird decoration on the doll?

The evil stepsisters locked Cinderella in her room so that the Prince, looking for the girl who fits the shoe, wouldn't find her. The mice got the key and freed her so that the Prince could put the slipper on her foot. http://www.geocities.com/mowgli94/cinderella/cinderellastory.html

Thank you Kitt! Dakota will be happy to know that, she was asking everyone today. She has seen the movie, but was much longer, guess it's time for me to borrow it and let her watch it again!

In my childhood many many (many) years ago, Cinderella was my favorite. I still have books and other things from waaaay back then -- one being a comic book of the story. It's torn and tattered, but I still have it. I have always (and still do) loved the picture on the cover. It's Cinderella's ball gown on the mannequin that the birds and mice, etc. made for her. When I saw a sericel in Disney World that looked much like that cover picture, I had to have it. Now I see it many times every day.

Do you or have you ever gone to school with a Phyliss? It could be a married name of someone you used to know. OR business friends whom you know from their place of work but Not really friends with?? OR someone who is a relative of an inlaw that you met at a family function?? I can see your predicament. you could always phone them and ask WHO is THIS?? but maybe you'd be lucky and recognize the voice.

What's worse is they sent a letter with it (one of those horrible newsletter type things) and I don't recognize a single person mentioned in that and to top it off, it's really sad. they have had a worse year tham we did! my first reaction was it was a joke, but someone went to alot of trouble if it is cause it's a really nice card and nice computer paper. and if it's a joke would they have gone to the trouble to personalize the card??? this is just so bizarre.

Christmas card thing happened to my mother too many years ago. She got a card signed by a couple with a few children's names -- as I recall, no last name. Neither she nor I had any idea who they were. Never found out?!

Do you still have the envelope? Presume you looked at it to make sure it had your name on it, not a neighbor's?

Question: I want to find out some background info on someone -- particularly marriage / divorce records. Has anyone used an info for-a-fee service on the web? (Usually get their web sites when looking up address, etc.) I thought those records were public, but they don't seem to be so readily available. This person is now in Colorado, but I know has lived in at least one other state. There's also others I've simply lost track of and would like current addresses for them.

He is not there in CT, only in PA. And no Phyliss anywhere spelled that way. Seems like a weird joke to me. One where the person did not know how to spell Phyllis. (Though anyone can spell their name unusually.)

My sil got one of those Christmas letters a year or so ago and it was so sad that it was funny. (not to them I am sure). It started out: We had a wonderful summer. Joe won a family trip to Hawaii. We had a blast. (insert photo of happy family of four with hawaiian shirts on taken on a beach) We also got a new puppy and named him Fido. (Insert photo of two kids hugging a cute golden retriever puppy) Yadda, yadda, yadda--kids doing well in school, Joe doing well at job and mom doing well with volunteer work. Well, this year has not been the best. Little Johnny needs spinal surgery and may be paralyzed from the neck down. Oh, yes, that leads me to tell you that Joe and I are getting a divorce. Joe's new contact info is xyz... Please keep us in your prayers. And this was a true letter from he dh's side of the family. No joke at all....
