    Mall Food

    I know that mall food is supposed to not really be the greatest, but there is just one store in there that I am hooked on. I get the same stir fried rice and bourbon chicken every single time I go. They actually give me an employee discount because of how often I've been there. I'm not ashamed...

    Hit and run

    I've seen a lot of these hit and run accidents in the news, but there was one ridiculous one recently where the guy hit a 78 year old woman who was walking and killed her and he drove off. He was caught and is now facing serious time for what he did. I don't really know the law, but if he...

    Baby's first words

    Do you remember your baby's first words? I have to assume the first words out of a baby's mouth are words they hear you say often, right? Are mommy and daddy the most common first words for babies?

    Psychic shop

    Have you ever paid for the services of a psychic or palm reading? There are a number of shops in the area and near where I live and they must have a good size customer base or they wouldn't still be open. How many people really dig this kind of thing? I know of one person in my life that does...

    Babies R' Us

    Is this store considered to be a fair priced store or expensive? They seem to have a great selection of baby items and we were thinking of starting our shopping there. We have a tight budget, but we don't want second hand baby clothes.

    Maternity Leave

    I know my wife is allowed a certain amount of time off from her job for maternity leave, but what about me as the father? I don't want to lose my job, but there is no way I will miss the first week or so with my baby being born. Is there some kind of protection for fathers?

    How many pets do you have?

    I have 2 cats and a little mutt of a dog. :) They actually get along well. Both of the cats don't have their claws so they can't cause any damage to eachother or the furniture. Have you ever had any exotic pets? I thought about getting a snake before, but I figured I wouldn't put my wife through...

    Same style as your parents?

    Do you find yourself parenting the same way your parents were with you as a kid? Maybe you didn't consciously choose some of the same attributes, but thinking about it, are there things your parents did or said that you now do?

    Baby Costs?

    I always hear that having a baby is very costly. What kind of ball park figure do you think I'll be dealing with on a monthly basis? I assume the most expensive things are food and diapers?

    The Last of the Mohicans

    I thought every person had seen this movie, but I was browsing Netflix with my wife yesterday and she said she hasn't. I was shocked because I must have had to watch it 10 times in school when I was younger. It was actually very sad for me, because it wasn't as good as I thought it was. Maybe...

    Kids and bad shows

    My brother has a daughter who is 7 and son who is 10. He watches South Park with them and has them imitating the characters. I would think that they are too young for that kind of show, but they are actually good kids. I personally wouldn't let my own children do it if I had them, but I can't...

They can only afford the bare essentials, mean while this one friends ex gets to go shopping and do what she wants since it doesn't cost as much as he pays to support his child. Why...

    11 People attacked by leopard in India.

    I alway hate these situations where a wild animal ends up attacking some people because they always end with the animal dying. There are two feelings. One for the people who got attacked, so you might be angry at the animal. Then there is the feeling bad for the animal. It's not the animals...

    What kind of mental and emotional changes have some of you experienced when you became a father for the first time? Do you in a way get to re-live your childhood through your own child? Do you find yourself taking the same risks you might have before you had your kid? Do you become more open...

    Too old to start having kids?

    Is 34 too old to start? If I get to making my first child and it is born when I'm 35, then I'll be 53 when he/she is 18. If I have a few kids, I might not be in enough shape to play sports and things with them. Well at least be decent at it. I don't want to miss that kind of stuff. Perhaps I'm...
