    Obamacare, Health Insurance, Etc.

    Sorry for the confusion, friends. I meant to type "There's no way that I could afford the Obamacare rates". I'm not sure how that "t" got in there! By the way, I have a nickname for Obama. It's "Fauxbama".

    Obamacare, Health Insurance, Etc.

    When Barack campaigned for President he promised to provide universal healthcare for all Americans. He lied. I will be paying the $100 penalty. I work 35 hours a week due to my employer not wanting to hire anybody full time. I make too much to qualify for medicaid. There's not way that I...

    The Man Who Fell To Earth

    I've heard that the Netflix version is just bad in every respect. The story is about an extra terrestrial that visits Earth in search of water and technology that will allow him to transport his family from their home planet to Earth. David Bowie plays the extra terrestrial named Thomas Jerome...

    The Man Who Fell To Earth

    Has anyone read this book? I just saw the movie. It was good. The version on Netflix is not the popular one. That's a poor imitation of the good one which stars David Bowie. If you haven't seen it, give it a chance.

    Christmas present conundrum

    I meant to say I'm not going to give my ex-wife hand outs (if it wasn't clear). I was referring to her, not my daughter. Anyways, my ex-wife just picked up a part time job for the holidays. She'll use the proceeds to buy presents.

    Short on breakfast

    I meant to say that I haven't eaten breakfast in a decade. I'm such a moron! My grammar is terrible. You are witnessing the results of a publicly funded education. And I'll never eat breakfast. I hate morning people. I hate everything about the world until around noon.

    Christmas present conundrum

    I'm not going to give my her hand outs and pretend that she really bought the presents. I'm not into lies like that. Whenever she complains about her position in life I just say "bootstraps". Our relationship is terrible at this point. My daughter is 13.

    Single Son wants to adopt

    It is a terrible idea. Nobody should bear the burden alone. Can't he just adopt a pet that won't require so much time, effort and attention? I was raised by a single parent and it was a difficult experience for both of us.

    Short on breakfast

    I haven't ate breakfast in well over a decade. I'm just not hungry when I wake up. Why? Because sleeping isn't enough for me to generate an appetite. I hate waking up in the morning to go slave away at work. I'm in no mood to eat.

    My oldest is going vegan

    Meat has the weakest protein. Bananas, beans and nuts are the best source of strong proteins. Dairy and eggs will make her fat. And if she hasn't figured it out yet, eggs really are meat, just in liquid form.

    Cold Hot Chocolate

    I am all about cold chocolate. The difference between cold chocolate and chocolate milk is that there are usually marshmallows in the cold chocolate. That makes a big difference. And cold chocolate tastes much sweeter.

    Stratomatic Baseball Game

    Has anyone played stratomatic baseball? I heard somebody on the radio speaking about it. It's sort of a mix between fantasy sports and card collecting. It sounds like only the geekiest sports fans out there are into it. I would like to learn more.

    Fringe

    I watched part of the first episode on Netflix and could not stick with it. It came highly recommended but it was a dud in my opinion. An hour and twenty minute pilot is a little bit egregious don't you think?

    Tattoos and piercings

    I have no restrictions. If she wants to pierce every part of her body or get a billion tattoos then she can go ahead and do it. I feel like kids take the piercings and tattoos to an extreme if they think it serves as an act of rebellion. Don't be a dictator. Let your child develop his or her...

    My oldest is going vegan

    But she wouldn't be consuming the shampoo. It isn't her fault that people test the product on animals. It really has nothing to do with veganism. Vegans do not want to consume animal meat or animal by-products.

    Shoulder pain from holding the mouse all day?

    My desk is about up to my mid-section. My chair is the normal height for an office chair. I'm not sure what an under the desk mount is. I've started doing wrist, finger and shoulder exercises to stimulate blood flow. I just don't think humans were meant to sit still for 8 hours a day while...

    Christmas present conundrum

    I'm separated from my wife and I don't know how to go about giving gifts to our girl this Christmas. My ex-wife does not work. She's on food stamps. So she has just about no money to buy presents with. I, on the other hand, hold down a full-time job and can afford a lot of presents. I want...

    What kind of entertainment do you have planned for tonight, Friday night?

    I usually spend my Friday nights watching movies. I'm sort of a conservative, boring parent. Sometimes I will play video games with my girl. I usually do the same things over and over: web surf, movies and gaming. What do you plan on doing for entertainment tonight?

    How often do you let your kids pick the activity?

    Do you let your children decide what to do with your family time? I've been trying the strategy recently in order to foster more of a cohesive family feel. I kind of feel that when we give kids some sense of power and control then they really respond in a positive manner. Let your child pick...

    OMG I'm Going To Hurt Somone!

    That is terrible news. Seriously. I don't think women should wear makeup. When little girls put it on, it drives me insane. It's part of why I married a hippie. We can't have these girls objectifying themselves all day with makeup and clothing. They need to have more depth than that.
