    The Walking Dead Series

    Would my son love that! He'd be there every day just to get the feel of it live. He actually reads the books and said some of it follows the original story line. There are things in the books that wouldn't go over well with television viewers so they've left things out. They've added...

    Saving for a new big screen TV

    We have a 47 inch flat screen HD television that we bought for our den. We didn't want the 52 inch because the room is small. There was a website that I saw that showed the size of television with the best viewing distance. Our room called for 36 to 48 inch television. You measure from the...

    Rush Hour Gridlock

    Seems like every street in our the city is under construction. It took me an hour and a half to get to work when I usually do it in 30 minutes. I was 10 minutes late. I just wish they would start work after nine o'clock when most people driving are at work.

    Debit Card Problems

    This happened to us as well. We were in the grocery store and I had left my wallet at home. We had a whole grocery cart of food and the debit card wasn't working. She said we had better call the bank. There were a few cards that came up compromised and my wife's was one. They never called...

    Cell Phone Bills

    I pay more for my cell phone than I did for my home phone and internet combined. It's ridiculous how expensive it gets. I use it for work and am always checking emails, so I need a good data plan.

    Definitely not a role model

    You're right Christian, she did get the attention she wanted. I think she also lost a lot of respect from some people as well. She reminds me of someone who is trying to get rid of that good girl, wholesome image and wants people to see her as more mature.

    The Voice - new season

    I caught part of it. I really like it with this original cast. I think Cee Lo's tattoo looks like henna and will eventually come off. I think Christina looked a little more mature.

    Anti-inflammatory diet

    What type of diet is anti-inflammatory? Do you only eat certain types of food? I know vegetables help in reducing inflammation. Is the diet safe for the long-term?

    Cucumber sandwiches

    I like cucumbers but I don't like cucumber sandwiches. I don't know why since I like cucumbers and I like bread. I wonder if my daughter would like these sandwiches.

    Old Mother Hubbard

    Isn't it funny how they are always eating. The children usually start complaining by Wednesday that there is no food in the house. My wife says they just don't want to have to make something and they've eaten all the easy to grab stuff. They don't understand what moderation is, they just...

    Downsizing when all the kids move out

    Once you know the children are not moving back I would downsize to a smaller house. That way you will hopefully have extra money from the sale to buy the new house and save for retirement.

    Car Insurance

    Is it just me or is car insurance getting costlier? I thought after all these years of driving without any tickets or accidents I'd have more deductions. I'm even driving an economical family car not a sports car. Oh well, I guess everything but my salary is going up.

    Used cars

    We just bought an old 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier from a friend of the family. She drove it in the city, back and forth to the store and home, so the mileage was really low. Paid $1,200 for it, which was a good deal. The dealership wanted $2,300 for the same model with more miles on it. We just...

    Got let go

    You didn't have any idea that this was going to happen? I hope you get something quick, since being without income is tough. Did they give you a reason for letting you go?

    Too Much Homework

    Is it normal for a child in high school to have 3 hours of homework? She starts when she gets home at 4:00 and only stops for dinner before going back to homework. They should be coming home from school and relaxing or doing something other than school work.

    Give me Pasta!

    Wow that does look good! I love lasagna and anything pasta. My favorite is pasta with a cream cheese sauce. We only have it once a month but it's so cheesy good. I always eat too much and end up with a stomach ache.

    The Glare

    When my daughter was around one year and a half years old and we'd take her out shopping, she would stare at people. She would glare at them if they stared back. She could out-stare and out-glare most people. I remember one older gentleman telling my wife the way our daughter could hold her...

    Getting Ready in the Morning

    One gets up and gets ready right away. Washes her face, brushes her teeth and gets dressed before wolfing down her breakfast. The other one takes 10 minutes to wake up, eats and then gets ready.

    "Like" and get something

    Why would a parent get the child a puppy for having 1,000,000 likes on Facebook? That doesn't make sense unless the parent doesn't know Facebook. I remember my children wanting a puppy. It was after our old dog died and I really wasn't ready for a new dog. They promised to care for it and...

    Why Can't They Share?

    Halloween is coming and it just reminds me of the fights over sharing candy. As they grew up we constantly would encourage sharing. For some reason Halloween is the one time they refused to share. They would horde their own candy haul and not let anyone near it. Anyone else have this problem?
