That's where I'm at, Alex. She does the shopping for everyone else on both sides of the family and she organizes times for her and I to go shopping for our daughter. All I have to shop for is her and I have really good intentions and good ideas, but I still wait until December. I'm going to go...

I've had problems with them before too. They're just rude. We had a stray dog in our neighborhood at one time who had bitten a few people and I was afraid a kid was going to be next. Animal Control wouldn't do anything about it, so I caught the dog myself and took her over to the SPCA. This...

I'd like to know if you have a choice in this matter. What if you refuse to allow the teacher to come to your house? On the one hand, I can understand where seeing a student's home life might help the teacher to better understand the child and therefore teach him more effectively. But on the...

Does anyone know if fluids other than water count toward your daily intake? I've been trying to drink 64 ounces of water a day, but that on top of 4 or 5 cups of coffee (decaf) and a cup of tea or two is making me feel water logged. I don't drink any soda at all. If I do drink juice, it is a...

I'm not divorced, thankfully, but if something ever happened I would still keep in touch with my father-in-law. I know he'd want to keep talking to me too. My mother-in-law, on the hand...well, let's just say I could do without her on a good day now :)

I get the pumpkins in the beginning of October and the ones we have in the house last until Thanksgiving. I don't think it's too early at all. Halloween is going to be here before we know it so you might as well enjoy as much of the season as you can :)

I think you already know what to say - "Let Daddy get this done real quick and then I'll be able to come play with you." Send them outside to ride their bikes or something while you finish what you need to do.

A home visit? For what? Is she suggesting tutoring? I've heard of teachers going to students' homes for tutoring, but I can't imagine what else she would want to come over for.

I like to get the pumpkins sometime around the first or second week of October. I get a few for carving and then some to just put around the house decoratively. The ones I don't carve usually last until Thanksgiving.

Has anyone started yet? My wife is always finished by Thanksgiving and I feel so guilty waiting for December. I think this year I might make an effort to get started in October so it won't be so rushed.

Yea, yea, that's it - True Blood. MilwaukeeJoe - I know what you mean about being burned out on the vamp stuff, but my buddy highly recommended this so I thought it might be worth looking into. Lamant - What is The Gates? I've never heard of that one. Is it another pay channel series?

Raise you hand if you like seafood :) What's your favorite? For me, it's a toss up between salmon, king crab legs, and steamed clams. If I could get all three on one plate I would be a very happy camper. Can you tell I'm starving right now? Lol.

I want to look for a new job. In my current job, I have absolute job security, but it's killing me because I have to travel so much. I hate being away from home. Hate it, hate it, hate it. So, I want to send out some resumes and see what happens, but my wife is against doing that right now...

I think that's the name of it - the HBO vampire series based in Louisiana. Anyway, a friend of mine recommended this to me recently and I was wondering if anyone here has seen it. If so, did you like it?

The Florida dad who went into a rage on a public school bus earlier this month apologized for his behavior. The fit took place because his daughter, who has cerebral palsy, was being bullied on the bus. I understand why he apologized - fighting bad behavior with bad behavior is not the...

My daughter is too young just yet, but I think my dad started taking me when I was about 6 or 7. I am the world's worst bowler though so when it is time to take the munchkin I think I'll let my wife teach her.

I make more by far. By leaps and bounds, lol. But I don't care. I may get a bigger paycheck, but my wife has the harder job working from home while taking care of our daughter at the same time. If she didn't work at all it wouldn't bother me, but she insists that she needs to have a little money...

Do we have any dads who recently had to assemble the nursery furniture? Or who are going to have to soon? I remember when I put the stuff together for my daughter - what a fight! I waited too long to do it and my wife was HUGE so she couldn't help me. I'm usually pretty handy with stuff like...

I'm not normally one to complain about yard work, but this summer seemed particularly long to me for some reason. Maybe it's because it's been outrageously hot for too long. I am so ready for fall and to be done with nonsense for another year.

There are so many movies that do this, adding extra features or scenes after the fact. Making it a point to see a special edition depends on how much I liked the original. In the case of Avatar, would you believe I still haven't seen that movie? I'm so behind.
