    Fried Baloney Sandwich

    My son made fried baloney sandwich today on his own. It was just mayonnaise between two slices of bread. I forced him to add lettuce. I asked him where he got the idea and he said he thought of it on his own. I think this is really funny because I did the same thing when I was his age and I...

    Your Max Number of Kids

    If friends are coming over for a get together, I think I can handle five at the most. If it's a sleepover, probably two. It also depends on which friends that come over as well. The hyper ones, I would definitely limit to two.

    What do they call you?

    My friend's step son calls him by his first name. He doesn't mind since he understands that his step son has a good relationship with his biological dad and does not want to challenge that.

    Kid's Favorite iPhone Games

    My son is into Angry Birds and all its variations. He's also enjoys playing tap tap revenge, which is one of the first games I bought when I purchased the iphone 3G many moons ago. :-)

    Wii

    I would recommend the wii since it requires you to be moving around a lot. I noticed even the traditional video games we are standing instead of sitting. There are rumors that a new version of the wii is coming out but I haven't heard the release date. But if you feel holed up now, you should go...

    Fight over stupidity

    It's irritating that we always fight over stupid stuff. Many of us on this board are probably better off than most people in the world so we should appreciate that fact and not get caught up in petty arguments. It's just simply a lack of gratitude.

    When to drink coffee?

    I started drinking coffee when I was seven years old. I really don't know what effect it had on my health. My parents told me that I kept insisting on drinking coffee since I loved the smell so much. They relented. I am relatively healthy and of average height, was able to have children and...

    How many hours do you spend on cleaning?

    It usual takes about two hours a day for us. We bought a roomba to help ease some of the cleaning while we raised our baby. It was probably one of the best things we bought in awhile. It may not be a heavy duty vacuum but it gets the job done. I think it saved us at least 15 minutes of house work.

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever

    My son has been driving me nuts about getting the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book that comes out on November 15. He even managed to put the release date on my phone's calendar so I won't forget! Given the way things are today, I am glad he's excited about getting a book instead of buying some...

    Beating her with a belt

    It's just sad. The father seems to be in denial that he did anything wrong. We don't know the whole story but for him to come out and say she's doing this because she'll lose her Mercedes is a bit twisted. If things were not so bad, she would never have videotaped it.

    What is your biggest expense?

    For us, it is education for our children since the public education system in our area is pretty bad. We have to pay a lot of money if we want decent education for our children.

    Save and invest for your retirement?

    If you really haven't done a lot of investing before, you might want to take a look at mutual funds first. In general, they tend to be a bit easier to research because they focus on a particular area or sector instead of a specific company. Many financial institutions offer goal-based mutual...

    Activities On The Beach Besides Swimming

    Besides swimming, we like to go fishing at the beach though we almost never catch anything. We also like to build sand beach resorts that incorporates the water that comes from the ocean. The kids get a big kick out of it since they can decide where the restaurants and pools are located.

    Delicious Fruit Drinks in A Pouch

    Can anyone recommend a fruit drink-in-a-pouch that parents and children can both enjoy? I have become pretty sick of Capri Sun. It doesn't matter the name, Strawberry Kiwi or Pacific Cooler, they all taste the same to me. The only one that does taste different is lemonade.

    Wife as breadwinner

    I probably would not have a problem with it if my wife does not mind it either. I think in my particular situation, I could actually have more time to work on my own online business/hobby and earn money more leisurely. I really don't care what people outside of my family thinks.

    What do you grow?

    It's hard to say if growing your own fruits and vegetables in general would save you a lot of money because you will need to spend money on the supplies, soil etc. to grow your food. However, you will probably save compared to buying organic fruits and vegetables plus you'll have control of what...

    Tofu recipes?

    Tofu is great in stir fries. A simple stir fry would involve carrots, chinese cabbage, onions, and firm tofu. You can season it with chopped garlic, sesame oil, salt and pepper. You want to be sure to use firm instead of silken since silken will break up quickly.

    LeBron James?

    I'm sure it was just talk. It would be way to risky for him to play NFL football. He could be seriously injured and his entire career would tank in an instant.

    Chuck E. Cheese

    Chuck E. Cheese is a great place for playing games. The local arcade is charging $.50 to $2.00 a game. At Chuckie's it's still $.25 a game. Plus the pizza is pretty decent for the price. Can't complain at all.

    Beyblades

    My son is very obsessed with beyblades now. I remember buying them last year in Japan for my son but he wasn't all that interested. Now it has made a big come back this year. I actually enjoy playing it with him. It's been a great opportunity for us to bond.
