    Dealing with Death and Kids

    Even as my kids get older, it seems like death will always be a very hard subject to deal with. This past weekend one of the junior high teachers committed suicide. Everyone was a bit taken back. He was a favorite among all of the teachers, and was a highly respected man within the community...

    Burgers & Dogs

    Our weather has been really cold and rainy the past few days. It rained earlier today, and then it was absolutely beautiful out. We had our first cook out yesterday for Memorial day, and it was a lot of fun!

    Power Ball

    I always buy a ticket or two in hopes of winning, but know that the odds are extremely unlikely. Obviously, I have never won! However, that won't stop me from buying tickets in the future. You can't win, if you don't try.

    Fast and Furious 6

    It does sound like a great date night! Unfortunately, a few years ago the last drive-in near us was torn down. It was always a great time when we went and we miss it dearly. Both of those movies should be great. Let us know what you think of them.

    Hiring outside tutors

    My daughter is in college now, and the university offers FREE tutors for certain subjects. This past semester she got a tutor for one of her math classes. The tutors are other students who have previously taken the course, and understand the material. From what she said, her experience was a...

    Is Chorus girly...?

    I know it seems like an odd question, but what do you guys think? Does chorus seem to be more geared towards girls? My son was in chorus, but quit and said it was too girly for him.

    Music & Schools

    The music program at my kid's school is very strong. My oldest child is in the marching band, concert band and chorus. My son was in both chorus and concert band (but quit both to focus more on sports).

    Kids' pictures?

    We do, but then again both of our daughter's also have a Facebook. And, they obviously upload photos of themselves and their friends. They are also tagged in many photos with their friends as well. As long as you are careful, I don't see any issues with it.

    Chiropractor for teens?

    I didn't know there were chiropractor's that specialized in children only. I wonder if there are any in my area? I may want to look into something like that. I still haven't made a final decision on whether or not it is safe to do this yet or not.

    Joyful news

    Congrats! That is wonderful news. I will never forget how excited I was each time my wife told me that we were expecting. It's a great feeling. Best of luck to you and the rest of your family!

    Chiropractor for teens?

    I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Lately, my daughter has been complaining of back pain and has been asking me to rub it quite a bit. I've been considering taking her to the chiropractor to get her checked out, but I'm not completely sure. Any advice?!

    Hair Loss

    When I started to lose some of my hair, I didn't really worry about it. I figure that it will happen sooner or later, so there is no use in trying to prevent it. That's just me though.

    Tornado!

    Yesterday evening, we were watching TV and a warning popped up notifying us of a "Tornado Warning", usually they are just watch's so I thought that was odd. Turns out that there was a tornado that touched down and damaged a local high school. Things like that, don't happen around here too often!

    Are you friends...?

    For those of you that have a Facebook, and also have children old enough to use the site...are you "friends" with them on Facebook or have they not accepted your friend request?

    Anorexia

    That's a tough situation. A year ago, my daughter's friend was hospitalized for self mutilation. She was older though, 17 or so I believe. It is a very tough thing to go through.

    Japan

    How terrible! My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those that have been affected by this tsunami. I just found out about this when I got home from work.

    Earthquakes

    I live in an area where the probability of having an earthquake is extremely low, so I am not concerned about it at all. However, it is scary to see how often earthquakes are becoming and the destruction left behind.

    Extended warranty.

    Extended warranty on a toy? No thank you! I'll pass. Unless the toy was extremely pricey and of good quality. I only buy warranties on electronic items and appliances.

    Food going to waste

    It's always a shame to see food go to waste. We were cleaning out our fridge the other day, and I couldn't believe how much food got pushed towards the back & was forgotten about! Anyone else know the feeling?

    Drive-In anyone?

    We love to go to the drive-in during the summer! It's great. You don't get to see one movie, but two. And, another great thing about the drive-in is it is about 15 minutes away from our home!
