What you think does matter

My son is always saying he wants to be a soldier. He is only four years old. His mom cringes when he proudly says it - for fear of lossing her little boy. Let us Honor all those who have given much in service - In service to you, to me, to thier children. Sacrificing thier lives, family, and so much more. In honor of those who have gone before, and those in the present. Thank you for what you have sacrificed. I recieved these photos via email and thought to share it with all.

I love video games, no really. I love videos games, I’ve always been a fan. I could play for hours and when I was a kid - it was a normal thing for me to play all night in my pursuit to save the princess, destroy the evil monster or capture the prize. There were many a sleepless nights where just me, my game console and several cups of coffee was what I had in the wee hours of the night. I once played “Zelda” for three nights and three days straight. No sleep for me, I was going to save the princess - I did by the way. So what’s my point - Do you want to know why today’s parents love game consoles, why they are willing to pay three hundred dollars or more on a simple game console. Why they do not find it a waste of money to pay $129 dollars for a DS or other hand held game… let me give you a clue: Listen, do you hear that.. The silence .......... I was wondering why the house was so quite. The spouse was taking a nap and the kids - well, not a peep. I thought they were a sleep but when

Lazy Summer Days I remember when I was a kid I would stay up late watching TV and my mom may have liked it - but hey, there was no school to worry about the next day. Ofcourse my daughter has taken staying up late watching TV to a whole new level. She likes to watch George Lopez - but since they give it at 11 pm, it’s usually out of the question during school time. But the minute school was out she slowly got accustomed to first staying up that late and second - getting comfortable. She’s turned it into an art form - just take a look at the video below… it will explain it all ……

Children are crazy - or at least maybe only mine. With all the possible places they can sit - sofa, couch, love chair, stools - they have to bring into the house a fold up lawn / beach chair to sit on. But it’s not enough that they have to bring it in - they start arguing and fighting over who will sit in it. Give me a break - you have the entire sofa to sit on but they both want to sit on this one fold up chair. Here I am just trying to enjoy some down time, and all "hell" breaks out in my living room. Over what - a stupid fold up chair. Come on, when I was a kid 90 percent of the time we sat on the floor. First it began because we couldn’t afford a sofa, then it was just habit to sit on the floor. But not my children, they want to fight over one fold up chair. Sometimes I think they do just to drive me mad. But what they forget - that just like the HULK ..... "They don’t want to see me Angry....."

Let me ask you a question: Would you let this man inject you with anything? Apparently, this man was arrested for practicing medicine and performing medical procedures without a license in Florida. I just want to share a couple of thoughts with you. 1- Who in there right mind would let this man inject them with anything? 2- if my medical insurance doesn't cover plastic surgery - how can you charge this man for performing a medical procedure my insurance doesn't even cover? 3- Did they really say he brought "Crazy Glue" to perform the procedure????? Explain this to me. How desperate do you have to be to get butt enhancing procedure from a guy who looks like he’s on crack and uses CRAZY GLUE as part of he’s tools. Oh and your going to pay him $500 dollars ???

I was sent this photo via email. A sign that God still loves America. The question remains - Do you Love America ?

I have always found an interesting way to respond to some of my children’s ... lets say "questions". You know, they ask you "Dad, why can't I play with matches"? And your stuck trying to figure out how to answer it with out going to the usual response: "Cause I said so".... I have to admit, with my daughter, I tried my best to answer her questions, to give the why, the how, the reason why I say what i say. But after six years of why, why, why, why, why ... I figure I would do the opposite with my son. Sure, I use the tried and true response - Because I said so. But I also try to bring a funny twist to my response. It doesn't always work and sometimes it it is pure inspiration that comes to me like the one I shared with my son who asked me why was it wrong to fart in public...... Let me know what you use and what you think.
