    Not good!

    Our Sunday paper featured a story on an infant that died after being left in the car. I understand why people need to be informed about this but it was above the fold on the front page. Stories like that should be hidden from little eyes.

    Stop-Loss

    When it first came out I was working all the time and so the only things I knew about it was what I saw on the TV ads. I think it was some chick flick so didn't bother going. Saw it on TV this weekend and it was excellent. If you haven't seen it yet you should rent it.

    Visitation with the exes??

    As a stepfather who lived with kids for years before getting married I get the bond that happens even without marriage. The kids ran into the guy before me (not their dad and out of the picture for the last 5 years) at the mall and want to have lunch with him. I have a happy and secure...

    Diapers and kitchen tongs

    There's a new show coming out about yet another guy who finds a baby on his doorstep. Of course it had the usual shot of him holding a diaper with kitchen tongs. Ho-hum. Men--do not try this at home. Chances are you'll end up with crap running down your arm.:D

    Stephen King

    King has done it again. After getting through Dome which took forever I was glad that 11/22/63 went faster even if it wasn't much shorter. It's about time travel or in King-speak an alternate world and this guy finds a portal and can go back and change things in the past. Pretty...

    Team Owners Tweeting

    Are you for or against team owners tweeting? I think it's dumb-I don't tweet and I'm not sure I respect a football team that's owned by a Twit.

    Coke

    You know how Coke can make an old penny look new? Well I rubbed it on the very dirty caulking and bottom of my shower stall frame to try to get it clean. Stay tuned--I'll either be cheering or buying new stall doors. And recaulking.

    Once Upon a Time

    My soon-to-be was laughing at me because I couldn't stop talking about it this morning. She thinks it more for women but I really liked it. I'm going to have her TiVo it when I'm on the road. Did you guys like it?

    David or Jay?

    I'm rarely watching TV when they're on so just wondered who everyone preferred? Dave's been my man since his beginning, it seems like he's geared towards people under 50.

    Chuck E. Cheese

    I have been introduced to the joys of the Chuckster. I can't wait till the kids are an appropriate age to take to Dave and Busters. I don't think I'd worry so much about pedophiles roaming around and it will be much quieter there.

    Naughty Bear

    Some well-meaning neighbor gave this to one of the girls. It's way too violent but I started playing it and I've been laughing my...butt...off ever since. Naughty Bear

    Trick or treaters

    Is there a Halloween cut-off age? I've been warned that a lot of teenagers will be knocking at the door and since they aren't used to a man answering I was wondering if it's okay to tell them to take a hike. My STB never did in the past but she wanted to and was afraid of something happening to...

    Holidays

    Someone mentioned Thanksgiving already but for you stepdads how do you handle it? Do you fight to have the kids (soon to be wife's kids in my case) on the exact day or just pick your battles?

    Adjusting to noise

    To go from living in a temporary apartment on an out of town construction job to living with a pregnant girlfriend and three little kids. I need earplugs. Now I understand why so many fathers automatically reach for a beer when they come home.

    Smoking

    I'm talking about cigarettes so let's get that straight from the beginning. Do any of you feel guilty about smoking in front of smaller children? My soon-to-be wife and I are having a disagreement on this. I'm afraid if it looks like I'm trying to hide it it will make it more fun to do to the...

    Kids in wedding?

    I do want her kids involved in the wedding but since we're planning a late one I want to get a sitter for the last part of the reception and send them away. I'm just worried about them around so many drunk guests. What did you guys do?

    Mine and hers

    My girlfriend just had our first child one year ago. I was working in another state for the past year (making a lot of money) doing construction and I'm now living with her full time. She also has three kids (6, 8 & 9) from a previous marriage so I needed a place to hide. Any advice?
