    Setting up blind dates.

    So my wife got it in her head that she should play matchmaker to our single friends. It has gotten to the point that I'm expecting death threats from my buddies, what's a nice way of telling her that her female friends are single for a reason and my male friends don't want to touch them with a...

    Kids and impulses.

    Don't you just love it when kids want something on impulse and after using it two times they never use it anymore? Dad I want a puppy, guess who's taking care of it after a week?

    Headaches and 3D?

    I get them too sometimes, I think because they strain your eye pretty hard and if you have poor vision than the effect is multiplied. Anyway 3D tends to distract you from the story, which to be honest is mostly missing from these kinds of movies.

    Joint problems.

    You should also check for some joint rejuvenating supplements, some of my friends say it has done wonders for them. Also try focusing on not getting worse by doing warm ups before exercising.

    Microwaved vs corn popper popcorn?

    We got a corn popper because well I'm a popcorn addict, the first step is admiting it, and someone suggested that we should get one if we want to skip the unnecessary calories. I never imagined it would end up tasting better than the microwaved kind and with way less kernels to boot.

    More than you can handle?

    Some people live for the moment and don't care about the consequences, that's all fine and dandy if you do not have someone else depending on you, but it's tragic when you do.

    Classics or the newer movies?

    Which ones do you prefer? I'm a huge movie buff so to speak and I like a bunch of movies that have come out in the last couple of years, but my favorites list is filled to the brim with older movies, you can call me an old goat, but I say they just don't make them like they used to.

    First time dad as step dad

    Chances are if he has been a bachelor for so long it will be a hard adjustment to instantly have to take care of three kids, but I'm guessing he already thought that through when he decided to start a relationship with the woman in question.

    Do you say this?

    We all know the only man that can get pregnant is Arnold Schwarzenegger, so other men who say this must be his clones. On a more serious note, I heard it said, I never said it myself, it just sounds wrong when a man says those words.

    BBQ problems.

    First off coming to my house and messing with my grill is a definite no no in my book. You just don't mess with a mans grill. I had to directly tell my friend to go and sit down I'll handle the grill, since he wasn't getting the message. Have you ever had this problem?

    Retiring abroad.

    I never considered it myself, my main reasoning being which every place you go at the end of the day you'll still be considered a foreigner, not to mention the distance from the kids and other relatives.

    Outdoor Activities With the Kids

    I have been taking my kids hiking since before they could walk, they absolutely love it outside something I'm very proud of. As for other activities, there are probably a dozen at which they are better than me.

    Friend thinks he's so great.

    From the title I thought he was arrogant about being a stay at home dad, but from what I understand he doesn't lord it over anyone. If it's enough for women to be a stay at home parent, it should be enough for men to.

    Charity work.

    We usually participate in some sort of charity event at least once or twice a year to help those less fortunate. But it has been getting increasingly difficult to convince my brooding teenage son to participate. Do you have to sometimes coerce your kids as well?

    Do you get enough sleep?

    It's a silly question since most of us don't, I myself usually get five of the recommended minimum of 7. How much do you average per night? What's the main reason for not catching some zzz's? Work? Kids? Insomnia? All of the above?

    Magazine subscriptions.

    I subscribe to a few scientific magazines, that have interesting articles about subjects I wouldn't think to research and a few journals since they publish scientific findings there first. I also used to have a subscription to SciFiction before they went defunct.

    Support and encouragement for kids

    Just make sure he is not doing something he doesn't like, otherwise he will have a terrible year. If he truly enjoys it however, he will pull through it no matter what.

    "You are not my dad".

    I don't know I think I'd try to show them that even though I'm not their biological father I still care about their well being and only want what is best for them.

    How often do you drink?

    I'm not much of a drinker myself, I'll probably drink a beer at social gatherings and some champagne at new years and the occasional glass of wine when we are on a date with the misses.

    Dealing with neighbors. It was a nice sunny day and I was playing catch in the backyard with my youngest while my wife was reading a book in the shade, we weren't making that much of a racket when my next door neighbor suggested we should keep the noise down, I was about to tell him off when my...
