    How Did Your Wife Tell You The News?

    I'm just curious and think it will be fun to share. How did you learn that your wife is pregnant? Did she tell you in some special way?

    Calcium

    I know Vitamin D and magnesium should be taken with Calcium. I think I read that Potassium, or maybe that was Phosphorous, should be taken with it. I think it has something to do with the heart. Does anyone know for sure?

    Cousin asking for raise

    I agree with Howard. Now is probably a very bad time to approach the boss for a raise. I'm sure these times are not easy for companies, either. It's really taking a chance asking for a raise right now.

    Canoe trip

    It's always nice to get away and have time to enjoy yourself no matter how much you love your wife and kids. I hope you and your friends have fun.

    Losing it all

    That would be a blow. I hope he will make it through it okay and does not go into depression. I hope he doesn't hold everything in and he opens up to you or another friend.

    Rainy Days

    Usually if it is a real light rain, my son wants to go out and play in it. If it's too hard for him to do that, he watches T.V. for a while, colors, or plays in his room. He likes to "help" me on the computer, so if I can I let him do that.

    Independent Or Dependent

    Everyone has their preference in how independent or dependent they want their wife to be. Personally, I'm not married now. If I was, I think I would like my wife to be able to function independently, but yet be a team with me for decisions that affect the marriage and relationship. What are...

    Wife's Sister Died

    I, too, send my condolences to you and your wife. I think the advice already given is very good. I'm not sure there is any more you can do, except possibly get her out of the house now and then, maybe for a walk together if nothing else.

    US hiring at a stand still

    I don't think the job market is going to pick up soon. I'm wondering if our economy is going to ever pick up, and I'm concerned it will crash. I'm thankful every day that I still have a job.

    Bossy 4 year old

    Jdrake is right. You can't let her get by with being bossy or she may develop a habit. You need to explain to her that being bossy is not acceptable, set firm limits and consequences for the behavior, and then be consistent in carrying out those consequences.

    Coming back from a tragedy

    I'm sorry for your loss. The holidays will be rough no matter what you do. If you do what you always do, you will be reminded. If you change what you do, you will be reminded of why you changed it. The only thing you can do is deal with the loss the best you can and let time heal the wounds.

    Do you have insurance?

    I have insurance, but I'm beginning to wonder why, other than making it easier to be treated when my son or I need to be. I made the mistake of not checking to be sure the hospital that I had some tests done at is in the network and it isn't. The insurance paid around $100.00 of around...

    Making A Cake

    I've decided to make a cake from scratch. I already have the recipe for a banana nut cake with sour cream icing. Does anyone have any tips to get it to be the same thickness all the way around when it comes out of the oven? When I've made cakes from a box, they've always been lopsided.

    Alternative Treatment

    The more I read about alternative medical treatment, the more I'm convinced that it just might be better than conventional treatment. Does anyone go the alternative treatment route for any medical conditions?

    Aspirin

    I only take something for pain when I absolutely have to, which is not often. Because I don't take it much, I just have Aspirin on hand. I usually have to throw some out because they expire.

    Exercise

    If you like to play basketball, why not get a goal and put it up at home. It wouldn't be the same as playing on a team with other guys, but you could still get some exercise.

    Appalled at some dads

    It is appalling for dads to be talking like that. They should be willing to support whatever sport their sons (or daughters) choose and not put down anyone else's kids for their choices.

    Man Who Hasn't Worked In 5 Years

    How can a man sit around for that long and let the woman shoulder all the pressure of making ends meet? Not being able to find work is one thing, but not trying is another.

    Mom's Back

    She actually didn't leave. We were not married when she had our son, but we were planning to get married. A few months after our son was born, she decided that she wasn't ready to be tied down, so I got Bobby and she went out having fun. I'm letting her see him now because he will have...

    Madison Regatta Boat Race

    That's on the Ohio River, isn't it? I've heard of it, but I've never been to it. I've heard it's a lot of fun to go and watch it. I'm not sure where Madison is, though.
