What you think does matter

Horny Animals - Thinking of Funny Memories of you and me ..... Once more into the breach... ok, once more into the good old memories... New Years Eve always has a way of making me think about the past. While most people are thinking about the upcoming “New Year” on new years eve and all it's possibilities, I spend it reminiscing about the by gone days. Maybe it's because I want to make sure I don't forget the past, or because I want to make sure the future will be better than the past [ you know measure up to expectations ]. But I was thinking about this funny moment we shared a couple of years back on a camping trip. If you've read my blog for any length of time – you know that I love camping and have been doing it for years. Camping in my opinion is the best way to spend time with the family and kids. I have many great memories about camping. This particular memory that I remembered, I thought I just had to share with you [ ofcourse I had to draw a cartoon comic to g

Losing 15,000 family pictures and memories! Trying to save our precious photo memories. What parent doesn’t want to take a picture of their child. I’m sure most parents like myself have hundreds if not thousands of pictures of their children. A picture of a first step or a first birthday - these photos all stored away in boxes and tubs in a closet. How many families have lost thousands of precious memories because of flooding or fire and all these pictures and memories are gone.

What most of use do not consider is - what if your computer goes down? My brother-in-law gave me a call once, he needed me to help him fix his computer. It apparently went down and he couldn’t do anything with it. Well after I tried everything I knew and we spent more than three hours on the phone with tech support [ mostly waiting ] we came t

Exploiting my Children online ? ? ? ? Interesting, I was asked if I felt ok with Exploiting my children.. When I asked, what they meant by “exploiting my children” - they said : “You know, putting them out there on the internet for all the world to see. Don’t you think your exploiting them - by putting their life on display for people to see?” It was an interesting thought. And I could see why people would think that - they think it because they’ve seen what happens to child TV stars and lets not forget all the wacko’s out there. But let me explain a few things - at least from my personal life. My children are the world to me. They are the joy of my life and the air I breath. When my little girl was born I promised to be there for her, unlike my father who left when I was five. As she grew up I realized two things - one, time and age will erode my memory of all the good things I have done and do for my children. So I started keeping a journal and a large book of photos, mementos and co
