    Daily fluid intake

    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...

    Christmas shopping

    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.

    Seafood

    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.

    The job market

    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...

    First Blood

    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?

    Father apologizes for rage on bus

    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...

    Putting together the furniture

    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...

    Mowing the grass

    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.

    Depression

    Has anybody here dealt with depression? I have a buddy who is going through something and it seems a lot like depression to me. His job recently turned into more of a work at home thing and for some reason that's got him all messed up. Shoot, I think he should be happy that he doesn't have to go...

    Computers - what age?

    How old were your kids when you started to teach them how to use a computer? I've seen some really small kids on computers so I want to make sure I start to teach my daughter at the right time.

    Movie remakes

    I really wish they would stop messing with perfectly good movies. My FIL sent my daughter what he thought was Charlotte's Web for her birthday. Turns out it was the remake with real people, not the cartoon. It came in a box with a stuffed Wilbur so it was an honest mistake on his part, but I...

    36 today!

    Yep, it's my birthday :) My wife is taking me out for oysters tonight and I can't wait. Whatever she got me as a present will be nice, I'm sure, but it's the oysters I'm really looking forward to :D Just wish we had a sitter so we could go out somewhere after dinner.
