If you could travel back in time, which era would you visit and why?

I would totally go back to the 20's and be a flapper.  I love the hedonistic mentality of that era. 

China is thinking about moving away from its one-child-per-couple restriction. What do you think the pros and cons of this decision would be?

We've discussed this in my environmental biology class quite a bit this semester...it was my understanding they don't have a restriction.  They have incentives for couples who only have one child...specifically if you have one the government pays for all medical care and pays for their education.  If you have more than one all financial incentives are withdrawn.  And considering they're still the most populated country in the world...soon to be passed by India...and since the world as a whole is expected to reach 6.7 billion by this summer...I'd say it's a horrific idea. In fact, I think more nations should offer incentives and i think celebrities like Mel Gibso, Kirk Cameron and Flava Flav should pay steep financial penalties for overpopulating the planet.  In the case of Flava Flav I think it should double because he's passing poor genes onto an unsuspecting generation.  The man is an idiot 

Here's one for the ladies:  What's in your handbag right now?

We did another photo shoot today....

Ok, it has to be asked: What's your take on Britney's recent trip to the hospital?

The media spent entire days broadcasting live from the court house as Anna Nicole's loved ones battled over her body.  It was breaking news when and if something changed or occured.  We've reached a point where the media places a greater emphasis on ratings and sponsorship than quality of life and privacy. 

However, they couldn't achieve either if the public weren't wacthing intently for the next big news story.  I don't know if we're fascinated because we find comfort in knowing her life...with her fame and fortune...is no better than any one of ours...or if it's because we're simply inherently intrigued by the macabre and misfortune of others. 

I'm actually glad they've forced her into some form of treatment.  If they can control her disorder with medication, she might be able to have some semblence of a normal life.  It's sadly ironic that she and her family made such huge sacrifices and worked so hard to achieve this success...and now she isn't even able to enjoy any of it. 

Do you think real love can last throughout any distance, or will long distance end most relationships?

um, YES.  Jim spent one year in Korea, six months in Uzbekestan and just returned from 6 months in Baghdad and he worships the ground I walk on ; )

If you were suddenly granted the day off today, how would you go spend your free time?

Lol...how ironic.  I have no classes on Friday so the kids decided they needed a day off.  We're going to the campus to pick up a code for my algebra course, then we're taking pictures!  I haven't taken hardly any photos lately and I need to get busy and focus on it again.  I hope you all have a GREAT relaxed Friday

How do you feel about your birthday?  Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?

I look forward to it.  We wear tiaras in our house for our birthday.  All month you wear tiaras in ncreasing sizes until you end up with a HUGE tiara.  I usually send reminders to friends and family with weekly updates on the number of shopping days left.  And, I always buy myself presents.  I think it's important to lead by example...if you don't treat yourself well, no one else will either
