I have heard so many horror stories about divorce and couples who won't have a custody agreement put into place. There is nothing that I would let stand in the way of me seeing my kids. Why do so many beat around the bush when it comes to setting up custody agreements?

I am so tired of seeing "nice guys" on TV and in movies. I don't mean people who do nice things. "Nice guys" are the guys who think that because they are friends with a woman she owes them a relationship because he wants one and he's nice. A lot of the guys on TV will accuse a woman of leading...

There is a cat that has been coming around our door the last week begging for food. It has a collar and no tag so we've decided to take it in and put up some fliers tomorrow. What I am concerned with is how do I know that it's not a neighbor's outdoor cat? It looked well cared for in the...

What kind of juice do your kids drink? I'm finding it hard to find juice that is pumped full of sugar and still tastes good to the kids. We are tired of regular apple, cranberry, and grape juice.

Are there any historical places that your kids are especially fond of? We have been to all of the California missions because the kids are really interested in them, mostly because they say they are "haunted" but the historical information is interesting to them as well.

For those with infants, what kinds of snacks do you carry around if the baby gets hungry? We've been looking at baby cereals that are good to eat one at a time. What do you think?

Last night in my area a woman dropped her daughter off with family members then reported her child missing. There was an Amber Alert on television and people began to look for the infant. I guess the mom just wanted attention. It makes me so angry that people waste resources like that. There are...

How old do you think your kids should be before they drink coffee? Is high school an okay rule? I know a lot of high school kids hang out (or even work) at Starbucks so it seems silly for me to say "No coffee."

What Halloween movies are appropriate enough for your kids to watch? The favorite in our house is Hocus Pocus. We watch it every year. Plus the Charlie Brown Halloween movie about the Great Pumpkin.

What kinds of food do you grow on your own? I think growing your own fruits and vegetables is a great way to save money. I am thinking about growing watermelon, tomatoes, and bell peppers. What do you think?

What shows are your kids not allowed to watch? I'd say at the top of the list for my kids is Gossip Girl. I've seen it on and it's not all that bad, I just think the characters aren't great influences so we skip that.

What kind of custody arrangement do you think is best? I think it would be great if every good parent could have 50/50 split of the child but with the way some parents live in different cities and states, it's just not possible for everybody.

Is there anything that you really collect? I have a friend that collects those insulators that went on electric poles. I have been finding a lot for him at antique stores and even thrift stores.

Is anybody else keeping an eye on the news today to hear about Amanda Knox's appeal? The case is really interesting to me and I'm looking forward to hearing what the Italian justice system does with the case. Personally, I don't think Amanda was involved in the murder.

How did you know that it was time for a separation instead of a divorce? At what point did you think that divorce was necessary? I have a friend separated from his wife and he is having a hard time trying to decide if it's time to divorce or not.

I have a friend currently expecting. Are there any tv shows, documentaries, or movies you would recommend to somebody who is about to be a parent? I think he would especially like things that are dad-centric. Most I see are geared toward expecting mothers.

Are there types of music you do not allow the kids to listen to? Do you censor certain songs or anything like that? I think I'm kind of lenient but I am cautious things that are explicit.

I think it is great for a child to see a father staying at home while the mother or other partner is at work. It really shows that there are so many options open, they do not need to follow traditional gender roles.

My friend has a daughter who is dating a guy one year older than her. He seems like a nice enough kid, never given them any problems. They found out he's on probation. Do you think you would step into the relationship and end it or would you be okay with your teenager dating somebody on probation?

Do you go to the doctor willingly? I won't go unless I have to. I have to be in serious pain. I don't know why, I just don't like going.
