    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...

    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.

    Flu Shot?

    Is anyone going to get the flu shot this year? I stopped by the local clinic the other day and got one, but boy I've paid for it ever since. I know you can't get the flu, but my immune response to the vaccine has been extreme.

    Starting A Savings Account For Kids

    I have thought about this for quite some time but just never followed through on it. I want to start a savings account for each child and let the kids start adding to it. I would be the co-owner of the account so they couldn't take anything out without my permission. We have collected money for...

    What Does Your Kid Want To Do

    My son told me the other day he wants to be a doctor. I asked him why and he told me he wants to take care of the kids who are sick. I had no idea where he came up with the idea but he was pretty adamant about it. I guess I had better start saving now. :eek:

    What Do You Do For Diet?

    I have a friend who has decided she is going to follow the Paleo diet. I don't understand it much but I know enough to know a child wouldn't be very happy following it. What do you think of doing something like this?
