    Are you ready for football?

    I am a big Bronco's/P. Manning/Elway fan. That first game was the only good game that the Broncos have played so far this year. Your team and mine are both 1-2 going into the 4th week. Lots of work to do.

    spending $ you do not have

    I remember an old joke where someone was in a bar, drinking up a storm and celebrating. The bartender asked what the special occasion was. He replied, "All of my credit cards just got stolen". Then the bartender asked him why he was celebrating that. He said, "Because I have absolutely no...

    Do your kids take vitamins?

    As some of the other posts mentioned, it all depends on the child's diet. I ate like a horse, but it was mostly good food, so I did not need vitamins. My mother was the best cook in the world, and as a result, I grew up very healthy.

    Santa Claus

    I would think that the people that say that Santa Claus is an evil myth are the same people that think everything is evil. These people are extremists as far as I am concerned. Even though my parents were fervent Christians, they were not extremists. However, my wife's grandmother was an...

    Cleaning your plate

    When I was a kid, I was known as the garbage pail. I not only cleaned my plate, but I cleaned everyone else's plate too. I did not care about the fact that I would not have any room for dessert.

    Career and Marriage do not side by side.

    As some of the other posts mentioned, communication is key to any marriage. The song that comes to mind is "Two Different Directions" by the late great John Denver. The movie that comes to mind is "The Slugger's Wife" starring Michael O'Keefe and Rebecca De Mornay. You want to try whatever you...

    Why do children like rap?

    You do have a point. Actually, there are three rap songs that I like.:confused: The Superbowl Shuffle by the 1985 Chicago Bears, Jam On It by Newcleus, and Just Buggin' by Whistle. But rap today seems a lot more mean, nasty and violent when I hear it being played by people passing by in...

    when kids break things

    Anger is one thing, but it is beyond anger when a child becomes vindictive as was this case. If that was my child, I would not lash out at him as that will cause him to be even more angry and vindictive. I would sit him down and talk to him. I would communicate to him about why I sent him...

    pet duty

    I am so glad that there are some people like FrankSinatra who feel the way I do about pets. Pets have hearts. They have feelings. They can be hurt just like humans if they are neglected. I have a cat that spent the first eight years of her life living under a house. The woman who had her...

    Soccer camp

    I loved my late parents. But I wish that instead of sending me to church camps, that they would have sent me to sports camps which is what I would have wanted. Instead, they just wanted me out of sports, in fact my father would keep me out of sports as a punishment for getting less than a C...

    How many people do you know

    The way you put it was perfect about children. A married couple with children need to think of the children first and foremost, and do their best to make it work. However, if it is damaging all around to everyone involved for a married couple to stay together, than other alternatives need...

    How many people do you know

    A person could grow old trying to beat a dead horse. I was in a relationship for seven years, (thankfully not a marriage), and this woman was just simply a miserable human being. I have found out recently that nearly ten years later, she has not changed.

    How many people do you know

    Actually that is very often not the case. I was previously married for twelve lonely and miserable years. I stayed in the marriage because I thought that divorce should be the last resort.

    Long distance parenting

    That is a tough spot to be in. A boy needs a father to be there. I know this sounds unrealistic, but you may want to talk to him even more often just to talk. If the only time you talk to him is twice a week, or to chew him out, then realistically he is growing up without having a father...

    Why do children like rap?

    Do kids who like rap have parents who like rap? I know that it is common for one generation not to like music of other generations. It is also common for kids to only listen to the music their parents listen to. The other problem with rap is that many times it comes with extremely viol...
