I usually go to the movies because I like the story, as well as the actors and director. I have such an eclectic taste that I know most critics will not go for it. Besides I only trust my judgement.

It is very important to spend quality time with your wife. How do you make sure that you have alone time with her? Do you consider it a drag or do you enjoy it?

I did not look at all. I am kind of squimish. I was pretty stressed out most of the time. I have always hated seeing my wife in pain, and not being able to take it away from her.

I have had massages a few times in my life. I have also had chiropractor treatments and to me those are great deep tissue massages with a few adjustments. I highly recommend them.

I hate my phone. I have just changed it and only a few people have the number. They know to leave a message if they want to talk to me.

My family usually roasts a whole pork for our family reunion. This year I am in charge of the pork, but I am not sure how should I handle it. What advise do you need for me?

I am not in the market. However, if I were, kids wouldn't be an issue if things were really working out. It is difficult though.

I have cut down on cell phone usage a lot. It wasn't because of health concerns, but social concerns. It seems that the cell phone interrupts life in a million different ways. I wanted to take control of my life again.

I am with polamalu. There are rules in my house, and the kids have learned to live with them. I hate when the parents complaint about what their kids are wearing, but they pay for what they wear so if you don't give them the money, they wouldn't buy it.

Is it just me or the number of storms is just out of hand? I just saw a video of a tornado forming over a river in CT, and it was unbelievable. I am hoping that the upcoming hurracaine season is not as bad as they are predicting.

We try to be sensible and realistic. We involve the kids in the decisions because we can't be with them 24/7. Fortunately, they understand how important it is to be healthy. I am the one that screws up more often, but that is the nature of the beast. :-)

I've been there and done that. I was blunt, and it still did not work. It seems that people feel the need to hit rock bottom. I am glad they are not around any more. It was difficult at times to see them go down and not wanting to take good advice.

Have you ever been accused of been a super tightwad? My wife likes to point out how I enjoy my t-shirts full of wholes, because I don't want to buy new ones. I sometimes want to save so much money that I end up spending more. Does this sound familiar?

Where are you headed for this summer vacation? Have you finalized plans? We have changed several times. I think we are going to be going to the beach for a week. Then again my wife might make us go somewhere else next week.

I try to go out with my friends a couple of times a month. My wife used to mind early on, but now she is ok with it. I sometimes think she wants me out of the house. :-) It is a good thing that she likes my friends.
