A woman in Texas shot and critically injured her two kids, and then turned the gun on herself. According to the story this was after months of trying to get food stamps to feed her family. A sad picture of the desperation many are feeling here in America. I am sure this is not the last story...

I wrapped presents today as a suprise for my wife while she was at the doctor. She hates wrapping all the stuff so I thought it would be nice for her to walk in and see them done. Who wraps the presents at your house?

My wife is recovering from surgery and she is unable to pick up our kids. We have had to have help everyday for the past 4 weeks except for weekends, and we have two more weeks to go. I appreciate the family pulling together to help, but I am ready for our life to go back to normal!

Do you get along with your extended family? Like your in-laws,aunts and uncles and what not? I have never had much of a relationship with any of my extended family, and it always makes holiday get togethers so awkward and uncomfortable!

I just found out last week that our health insurance premiums and deductibles are going up as well as our co-pay and prescription costs. There will of course be no raise to compensate for this. I swear I bring home less and less money every year.

For those who haven't heard the price of peanuts and peanut butter is going up 35% just over the next few weeks. The peanut crops here down south got ruined with the droughts so costs are going up. I know in most households with children peanut butter is a staple so you may want to stock up now.

How are you guys and your families stretching your food budget these days? Every week when we go to the grocery store things are more and more expensive. My wife has started cutting down on the amount of meat she uses in recipes and replacing it with canned vegetables, broths, or rice to get a...

What age is appropriate to get your child a bicycle? We got our daughter a tricycle last year, and I want to get her a bicycle for Christmas. My wife thinks she is still too young though (she will be three in January).

I am so disappointed I was planning to hunt on WMA's (wildlife management areas) this year, and I missed the deadline for registration. Now I am going to have to find somewhere else to hunt. :(

Both of my kids are still really young (2 and 5 months) so we are looking for outdoor activities suitable to their ages. Any suggestions? This weekend we are going to an animal preserve with a bunch of hiking trails...my 2 year old can't stop talking about it!

My son has taken to waking up early and laying in his crib chattering to himself. When you go in there to get him he treats you to the biggest grin ever. Definitely better than an alarm clock! :)

Do you have anything left in your stock portfolio after the wild rides the stock market has been on lately? Looks like it has been falling again all day today. I dread going to see what's left...if anything.

I have a friend who lost his house to bankruptcy after losing his job, and his wife is leaving him and taking the kids. I'm really worried about him because this is all happening so close together. What a blow.
