Last night The Daughter and The Husband were making fun of me -- not for deciding to make the car a "No Phone Zone" but for doing so because of Oprah. My argument was it doesn't matter which particular straw breaks the proverbial camel's back or which sad tale it is that makes you a convert. What matters is that we finally fit that last piece into the puzzle and say, "Okay; Enough; I'm convinced and I'm not going to do it any more." @ Carol,

I agree with you and make the same pledge. There is no call that is so important to take such risks. Thanks for reminding all of us about this!

I think it comes down more to good thing The Husband makes as good living and that neither he nor I have expensive tastes beyond our commitment to provide well for our children.
