    Joint problems.

    Any tips on regaining some joint flexibility? When I wake up in the morning I have to do about ten minutes of stretches to be able to move my shoulders, I over trained in my younger days.

    Money doesn't buy happiness?

    We do ok, a little more money wouldn't hurt, but for the most part we rarely have money issues. That being said I think if I had to chose between the problems of a poor or a rich man I'd chose the latter.

    Dog as jogging partner.

    Taking care of a dog can sometimes be more troublesome than taking care of a child, it's not like you can take him jogging and then forget about him for the rest of the day. That being said I'd recommend a lab, great family dog that likes to be active.

    Letting him throw a party?

    If you don't mind a bunch of promiscuous teenagers getting wasted in your house go right ahead. I'm not saying your kid is not dependable, but it only takes one guy with a keg to make things go south.

    Birth control for teens.

    Giving your kids a little space is always a good idea, but endorsing the idea of them having sex...I guess I'm just not in the 21'st century yet.

    Anger issues

    Try talking to him and get to the root of the issue, if that doesn't work set up an appointment with the school psychologist, going through life angry at everything is no way to live.

    Mine and hers

    You mean you need some time to escape from the kids? If that's the case maybe go out with the guys once a week, just work something out with the misses so that she doesn't get stuck taking care of the children all the time, that wouldn't be fair.

    London riots.

    London has been in a pretty big upheaval the last few days after the police killed two people without probable cause, one of which was a 17 year old girl that was protesting the first murder. I was curious if anybody had some first hand accounts about the situation.

    First child scares?

    Taking care of another life is a big responsibility and most of us tend to get a bit scared, but as time goes by we all get accustomed to the idea, that we are parents and from now on we have to do our best to raise our children and that we can't protect them from everything.

    The touch or patience?

    I think everybody can be a great father, you just have to be willing to put in the time and effort. Some people tend to think that it's something that comes naturally, but in my opinion it's a process that's never truly over.

    Do you get enough sleep?

    The last time I got the recommended amount of sleep was when I was on vacation and we had our own room. I usually manage a solid six hours of sleep which is not too bad considering how much other people get.

    Video games

    It's no really an issue since they mostly play in their room, headsets can also damage their hearing so that's another thing to take into serious consideration.

    The bullying angels

    Tell them directly, there is no tip toeing around it. If they refuse to believe you, tell them that you will take it to the principle or school board, they'll be more motivated to act when their "angel" might be facing suspension.

    Love fades away.

    They say that love only lasts for about a year since thats how long it takes the chemicals in your brain to brake down and after that it's more about mutual appreciation and respect. But I can honestly say I still love my wife the same as the first day I said it, to the best of my knowledge it's...

    We usually decide on something we all like, so that we don't end up watching something for an hour and a half that only one of us will enjoy.

    A new single dad

    If she had a serious problem and suffered for a long time it's pretty safe to assume that she was in no condition to take care of the kids, what do your friends in-laws think, that the kids just mysteriously took care of themselves.

    Energy drinks.

    My brothers kids chug them down like they are lemonade, but from what I understand those things are worse than coffee, I wouldn't let my kids anywhere near the stuff. What's your opinion about them?

    Fear of failure?

    Have you ever been in a situation where you hesitated to take on a challenge/opportunity because you were afraid that you wouldn't stand up to it? I have to admit I almost passed up on a few opportunities because of this, that's why I usually try to challenge myself when possible.

    Locks on the door.

    How old were your kids when you let them install a lock on the door? Mine was 15 and it was as much for his benefit as mine, since he started having girlfriends over and well I really didn't want any images.
