    Christmas music

    My wife gets so hyped up about the holidays and most of the time I think it's really cute, but she is driving me nuts with the Christmas music already. We used to have a local radio station that played Christmas music 24/7 from Thanksgiving until Christmas and that wasn't so bad in years past...

    How many times?

    I know this is a personal question, but I figured I'd ask anyway. I have a buddy who is currently going through his third divorce and I'm having some trouble relating to him. I can see that all of his marriages had some pretty big problems and I don't blame him for getting out. I just don't...

    Holiday weight

    I've listened to my wife complain for years now about the weight she gains around the holidays and now it has occurred to me that as I am getting older I have the same problem. It never used to affect me, but I know I put on some weight last week. I'm sure I'll be able to burn it off without a...

    Gluten free

    I'm not sure I really grasp exactly what a gluten free diet is and what the health benefits are. Is there anyone here who is on a gluten free diet? I've heard that some people are actually opting for this lifestyle even if they don't need to do it for medical reasons.

    Interest rates

    I got a credit card offer yesterday that had an APR of (hang on to your hat)...59%!! I keep only one credit card so I had no intention of accepting the offer in the first place, but sometimes I read these things to see what they are offering. 59% - holy cow! I may not have the best credit on...

    Time change

    Just a friendly reminder - it is once again time to "fall back" tonight. I am terrible at keeping track of when we do that, but my wife just reminded me so I thought I'd pass it along :)

    Mass destruction

    I am having one of those weekends where I feel like I am surrounded by mass destruction. We have a weekend at home planned (we don't get many of those) and my son is destroying the place. I feel so bad for my wife who is going to have to be the one to deal with it come Monday.

    Naps

    My father says naps are for babies, women, and old people. I think that's an old school train of thought and I'm not ashamed to admit that I need a nap now and then. Anyone else take naps?

    Budgeting for Christmas

    Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet? How do you budget for it? My wife sets aside a little money each week in the Christmas cookie jar, so to speak, so thankfully I don't take a big financial hit around the holidays.
