    Grilling in Winter

    Do you mean you grill on an open fire? That would be something to try since we have plenty of open space in the forest behind us. What do you grill?

    When would you forgive?

    I don't know that I would forget but I could possibly forgive depending on the situation. It's really hard to know what you would do until you are in that situation. Initially I don't think anyone forgives, it would take some time to work it out.

    boil removed

    I had one on my leg. It took about a week to resolve when you use really warm but not burning compresses a couple of times a day, it will come to a peak and pop. Sometimes if they are stubborn and don't resolve they remove it. You shouldn't feel anything as they freeze the area to remove the...

    Wife is Baking Cookies

    Give it a try SingleDadNow, it is fun for them, even making the mess. It's a great and easy tradition to start with. Then when they are done, the kids will sit at the counter with a glass of milk and eat their cookies. My daughter use to stand at the stove and watch them bake.

    Movies for Teens

    Any know of a good movie for teenagers? My nieces and nephews will be over for Christmas and I'm looking for good movies to have on hand for them to watch. The ages are spread from 13 to 21.

    Ontario mom urges schools to let asthmatic kids carry puffers

    How sad for the parents, the teachers and children who witnessed this. I understand that schools worry about misuse of medication but this is ridiculous. Children who take these medications know how to use them properly. This should have been avoided.

    Toys For Tots

    We use to do this every year. This year we chose a family food basket instead. They usually do this in my daughter's school every year. This year they didn't so we decided to do it at my work. We collected a lot of items from co-workers and put them in the basket. We included toiletries...

    One of Those Months

    [/I] We did have a "kitty" but it's empty. It's been a bad year overall with a lot of things going wrong. I'm hoping next year is better without all the unexpected breakdowns.

    Wife is Baking Cookies

    My wife is baking cookies for Christmas visitors and my daughter and son are helping, sort of. She gathers her ingredients and they help by doing the mixing. My son will wander in and out of the kitchen and his idea of helping is eating them. I love the smell and eating them as well. My...

    Do you plan your child's/children's meals?

    My wife will cook dinner and she usually decides the day before or that day what she is making. We all eat the same thing and it usually involves vegetables and meat or pasta. She likes to make sure they eat their vegetables.

    Encouraging Outdoor Play

    Fresh air is great for kids, the sun in moderation gives them vitamin D which is important and running around gives them much needed exercise. This is especially true if they are in school all day. I spent most of my childhood outside, except in stormy weather. My parents only saw me at...

    Not respecting our wishes

    I don't understand why they wouldn't respect your wishes. Were there other children there? Maybe those children still believe in Santa? If there were no other children there I think it's insensitive of the adults to make your children feel like are doing something wrong by not believing.

    Dude, You're S*rewed

    I have heard about about the Naked show but haven't seen it yet. Someone was telling me about it. I'm guessing the person is dropped off somewhere with nothing to use for survival but whatever he finds or creates?

    Grilling in Winter

    Do any of you BBQ in the winter months? My grill is under a roof overhang so it does not get covered with snow. I have it attached to the propane connection so I can grill anytime I feel the urge. When I grill in the winter it reminds me of warm summer months.

    Prisoners?

    Is it available on Netflix? I like this type of drama so thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can find it on Netflix, if not I'll get the DVD. I find dramas a lot more entertaining than some of the movies my wife gets for us.
