From my experience the teenage years are there to help loosen the apron strings and help everyone accept a child leaving the house to start their own life. If they stayed as sweet and as lovable as they are when then are babies and toddlers you would never want them to leave.
As it is, teenage years of growing independence set the stage for the final exit into the world and as a parent you are usually more than ready for it by that time. Keep that in mind parents and future parents, the teenage years do have a purpose, trust me on this.
Update: My daughter did go to college in August and I have written about that experience as well.

From my experience Paradigm speakers are the best bang for the buck you can get for your home theater! Over the years I’ve owned many different brands of speakers including Cerwin Vega, JBL, Infinity and Bose. Yet none of these can compare to the price and sound quality of my current Paradigm home theater setup. And to top it off, the Paradigm’s cost less than my previous Bose speakers. I currently have the Mini Monitor system, except that I opted for a larger center & surrounds.
The first time I heard Paradigm speakers in the showroom, I fell in love with their rich, vibrant & authentic sounds. But it wasn’t until my Mom was visiting and said, “Wow, I can’t believe how good this sounds, it’s better than the theater,” that I truely marveled in how good a value they are. It takes a lot to make people, like my mother, who normally say they can’t tell a difference in sound quality take notice of how good something sounds.

From my experience, giving flowers for no reason is much better and more rewarding than giving flowers because you are sorry. I did learn this the hard way after sending flowers as an apology.
Take the time and send flowers
to a loved one without a reason. You’ll both be happier for it.
And you can send flowers inexpensively, here are flowers for under $50 bucks

From my experience when you are at a restaurant and asking for another pickle wedge because the pickle wedge that given to you was pathetic in both size and visual presentation, you need to be specific about the reason you are asking for another pickle wedge. Otherwise, you may get another crappy pickle wedge or two. Thank you, Baker’s Crust, for three of the sorriest pickle wedges I ever saw or ate. Yes, I wasn’t too proud to eat them.
Now here is a nice size pickle wedge.
P.S. The Jersey Grinder I ordered was very good.

From my experience, having 3 iPods in a home with 4 people will not be enough iPods.
Everyone needs their own iPod.
You can try and save money buy sharing an iPod, but it just won’t work. The money saved will not be worth the aggravation being an iPod short will bring into your life. I will also add that it a great deal to by them refurbished. We have bought several this way and they look and work like new plus you save up to 25% or more depending on the model. Give it a look-see at Apple’s store for Refurbished iPods.

From my experience you should only collect aret you like. Buying art for the sake of art is ludicrous. Only buy what you truly love and be proud to show it. Don’t let the price be your only deciding factor, in other words, don’t buy because the price is high and you feel that makes it more valuable. And don’t buy the art because it is all you can afford and you want to own something. Wait for the right price and the right artwork. You’ll feel good about it each time you see it hanging on your wall.
You can see some of my collected comic book art.

From my experience you should never fry bacon without wearing a shirt. Hot grease hurts. Ouch.
