Hmmm. I'm glad Christmas is almost over - I include New Years in this same holiday. Havent had much sleep these days, so pls forgive if I don't make sense.

Teens - and kids too. I think that if it doesn't really hurt them (physically or otherwise) I'd let them do what they want and suffer the consequences. Such as: spending their own money to buy things; get cold, if they don't wear warm clothes; and if they don't want to eat just because they don't 'like' the food, then they can either make it themselves or go hungry. Of course if they're too young to cook, then they can go hungry. One meal isn't gonna hurt them.

((((((((((((((((ww))))))))))))))))))) you deserve lots of rest. Hope 2005 will be much better for you. hugs.
