    Learning from the kids

    I don't really keep track, but their insight is surprising at times. Like bighelp said they mostly remind me that you sometimes need to take a moment and enjoy the little things in life.

    Store Brands vs. National Brands

    Can you taste the difference? We usually buy Ben and Jerry's, but our local supermarket was out, don't ask me how, and we bought a bucket of store brand ice cream which was half of what we usually pay for the same amount of Ben & Jerry's and I couldn't taste the difference.

    Something wrong with kids today?

    I just accidentally came across an article where a 17 year old killed his parents for not letting him have a party, after which he hid their bodies and proceeded to host the party. Cases of such random acts of violence are not uncommon and seem to be on the rise. What's wrong with children these...

    Finances for the month.

    I don't waste my time calculating everything unless I'm saving for something big time and every cent counts. I set aside the money for the bills and our savings fund and work with the rest, I have never come up short at the end of a month so far.

    Would you adopt a child?

    My wife wants us to adopt a baby, we already have three of our own. In all honesty I can't say that I'm too fond about the idea. Have you adopted a child? If you could would you? How did it turn out?

Try finding a dojo and enroll your son there, just try to find one...

    Birth control for teens.

    I wouldn't want my daughter on the pill, if she does have sex I don't want her catching an STD because she felt safe not using a condom. I wouldn't want her having sex period, but that's a pipe dream.

    Stop coming to work sick!

    The same thing happened to my brother only he was the only one affected in his family, but he lost 18 pounds in one week so he wasn't too happy about the situation. At the end of the day most of us think about ourselves first and then other people, that's just how it is.

    More than you can handle?

    I just can't understand some parents, they have 4-5 kids that they can barely take care of and yet every time I see them, they are expecting another one? What's with these people?

    Skin health

    I can honestly say that my skin is not one of my major concerns when it comes to my health, except maybe melanomas. As far as your skin being dry, my wife usually uses skin cream rich in Vitamin E and I never noticed her skin being ruff, she also sleeps very little.

    16 and a license?

    Am I the only one that thinks that a 16 year old is to young to have a license? When I think back that I was driving around in a 300hp car when I was 16, I'm still amazed I'm alive.

    Used clothing

    I'm a little weary of used clothes, since I don't know where they have been, but hand-me-downs are perfectly fine since it was one of your other kids who wore them. When they get older and develop their own sense of style, it's a different story, but when they are young I consider them perfectly...

    The Mozart effect

    I have heard it mentioned that kids who were exposed to classical music in the womb had an iq of 3-4 points higher than kids who weren't. At the very worst it cannot hurt and classical music is always a delight to listen to.

    Do you cook everyday?

    Do you cook everyday, or do you make food for two three days and eat that in a combination with instant foods? We don't really have time to cook everyday so we usually make a big pot of food that lasts two three days and we consume that with "instant" foods like sandwiches, cereal etc.

    Used Clothes

    Well one such organization is Good Will, I think Salvation Army also takes used clothes. If you have none of the above in your area, you could go to the local homeless shelter and give it to them.

    Your friend cheating

    I have been in the situation and first off he's my friend not his wife. I told him my opinion on the subject and that was that. It's not my place to get involved in someone else's relationship, because I don't like it when others try to get involved in mine.

    Friend thinks he's so great.

    We are all different, some of us need to conquer the most dangerous places on earth, some of us just want to do right by their kids and family. There is no shame in either because if all of us were all risk takers we would have died out, but if all of us were the slow and steady kind we would...

    How often do you drink?

    I usually drink a few beers with the guys at our weekly poker game, I also tend to grab a beer at festivals since they tend to be cheaper than the other refreshments, it's also healthier than a soda.

    I love carpentry

    It's more about practice than anything else in my opinion. A few are born with natural talents, but most of us get to where we are whit practice and time.

    Children leaving home.

    You have to let them go, they need to start experiencing things on their own. You can only hope that you did a good job raising them and that they will do fine when they leave the nest.
