    Don't Know What To Buy Wife

    If in doubt, give her a gift card to Victoria's Secret. That always seems to be popular at my house. My wife likes to get her underwear there (I guess that's what you call do dads fancy as them). My wife uses some type of perfume from there too so it's always a good gift.

    Ah, Wet Sheets

    Have you thought of a waterproof mattress pad? There are some now that aren't plastic or rubber, but are made out of some type of fabric. I wish they had been around when my bunch was that age.

    Grilling in Wintertime

    Yeah, I do. One winter we had an ice storm and I used my grill to cook on for three meals a day for 10 days. I found out how to cook a lot of things then. I can bake on a grill with the best of them now.

    Husband and wife lost jobs

    What a horrible thing to have happened. It was not the best week for them, huh? It's one of the worst things to happen to anyone anyway but to have that coincidence happen is one in a million. I hope they get their unemployment started quickly and find jobs quickly.

    Bead-making daddy

    Well, it's better than my sitting on the floor and coloring with mine. :D I would do anything for those children though. I would walk on hot coals for them.

    CA man & shooting

    It's hard to tell when someone is going to "go postal". It takes very little to set some people off. I've heard a lot of stories like that and you always wonder what was the last straw for a person. Everyone also "what-ifs" all of the time too.

    What breaks your heart?

    My daughter's first "real" bra. I'm telling ya, the rest isn't far behind. Next will be the dating and boys calling then prom and....I don't want to even talk about the rest.

    Optimistically Skeptical......

    I honestly think that both parties will impede progress as much as possible while blaming the other party. It's the way things have always been done, but I'm hoping things will change.

    Winter in the Village

    That sounds great. I love to take the family to things like this. It really helps to get everyone in the spirit of Christmas that way. I know it makes me feel more festive.

    Child Support

    It should be balanced, but then I think tax payments should be balanced. I think a set percentage of all of it would be the way to go, but I'm not sure that's ever going to be the way it's going to be.

    Christmas lights

    We have a town near us which has a spectacular light show every year. They change some every year so it's a different show. Then they have a "Santa Village" at the end of the light show. It is really a great show and I try my best to take the family every year.

    Buying Presents

    I have gone with my wife's idea of gifts for the kids this year with one exception. I have decided my step son and my son are going to go camping in the spring, just the three of us. I don't think my wife is going to like this since she won't be included, but I think we all need a bit of male...

    Stocking Stuffer Ideas

    We used to put some fruit they liked in their stockings. We also used to put in things like socks, gloves, money and so forth in there too.

    Fiscal Cliff

    The only thing I've seen any of them doing is to help themselves. If we were to be able to make sure none of the involved parties could make money from lobbiers, companies, or any other source rather than their salaries, they would be able to be a bit more impartial.

    Urinary Tract Infection

    Well, the reason I had them is because I have small stones pass through the urinary tract. I have had to be hospitalized for kidney stones before but I'm usually able to pass them at home. I have small "gravel" that I pass undetected at times but that's why I have this UTI.

    Chicken wings

    Recipe please!!!:D Seriously, we make wings a lot but we use a Chinese sauce used for General Tso's Chicken. I love it and the kids do to. My wife likes the Buffalo wing type sauce.

    Urinary Tract Infection

    I had to wind up going to the doctor today for a urinary tract infection. The only other one I can remember having was about 15 years ago. It's very uncomfortable and I don't like it. Now I'm on antibiotics and a medicine which is supposed to numb the bladder. I don't like it one bit.

    Favorite cooking method

    Slow cooking is the bomb! I don't know how anyone got through without a slow cooker. I just toss something in it while we are getting ready for the day and then turn it on. When we get ready for dinner that evening, it's ready. Maybe make a side salad and bread and bingo! Dinner's ready.

    Christmas Budget

    We are doing well to afford to buy anything extra so the kids are happy with small gifts. I would rather buy one gift of quality rather than a ton of small things.

    Wiki needs some help

    I saw that too. But I rarely use it. It isn't the most reliable source as BigPapa has said. It's good if you want to know what people are saying about a subject but that's about it. I do go to it to explain tech terms. Usually that's pretty accurate.
