    Halloween at the Zoo

    I haven't but it sounds like a lot of fun. We didn't even get to visit the zoo once this year because we were so busy. I wonder if any of the zoos around here are doing it.

    Camping for Halloween

    We did it a few years ago and it was a lot of fun. I would take the opportunity. Getting reservations for Halloween can be VERY difficult, so this could be your chance to try it out without the hassle.

    E-prescriptions

    What is medical informatics? I didn't know there was some kind of mandate for doctors offices to change to e-scripts. My doctor's office must be way behind, they are still in the stone ages.

    New School Building

    I can't wait until the new school building is finished. The one my kids are in now is VERY old and is not fit to be a school anymore. It needs too many repairs to count. I drove by the new building and it is looking great!

    Quitting without notice

    I don't know either. Maybe there was something personal going on. Or maybe he is one of those people who overextends himself until he just lets his world crash around him.

    As a single dad, I feel that I have to trust my family members to help me. There is no way I could work if I did not have help with the kids. I have a close family, and I trust them all.

    Kids and knives

    Our kids can use knives. We did not start until they were about 5, but that was because we felt that was when they were ready. I want them to know how to safely use a knife.

    Allergic to antibiotics?

    I agree, if you ever have strange symptoms from taking medications you should ask a doctor. You can develop an allergy at any time, even to something like antibiotics.

    No time for household chores

    I am a single dad and I don't have time to keep things clean. At one point I just let things go, and Jdrake is right, that doesn't turn out well. I hire a woman to come in two times a week and it makes a world of difference.

    Talking behind my back

    I do the best I can as a single dad. I live by the rule, "Treat others as you want to be treated". Still, some people I really trust have been talking behind my back. I am pretty upset about it. How do you handle this sort of thing?
