ADHD...
You can't believe these web surveys, but this pretty much confirms what my wife Nina has been telling me for years. I still think every guy has some form of ADHD. There are a lot of questions about anger, and I don't get angry/annoyed easily, so maybe Read More...
Kiddie Sampler
So, with two kids just 2 and under, eating out is kinda a trick. We do a lot of fast food because it is cheaper. Isa has started eating real food. She likes chicken tenders, and Eva likes cheeseburgers. The thing is, each one only eats half of the meal. Read More...
What does cola taste like?
The new Pepsi ad campaign is touting there "Cola Taste". So, as I am sure many of you have wondered... What in the world is 'cola taste'. I have never tried cola, nor would I know where to get it. If you have wondered this, I have done some research for Read More...
Pre-spring Uglies
So, this time of year is a crazy ugly time for this area of the world. The snow has just melted, and the dirt clumps from snow plows are still found on every lawn, and the ground is so wet that you leave footprints in the lawn. These pre-spring uglies Read More...
*ary Names
As I was making up songs to sing to my first daughter yesterday, I began singing the alphabet using names that end in *ary/*erry/*arrie/*ari/*arry. I occurred to me that there is an incredibly large number of names that sound the same, but with different Read More...
Baby Sleep-Talking
I stayed up way too late last night, and in my sleepiness, I had a thought... If babies sleep talk, do you think that they might talk in full sentences? Eva talks alot, and most of her words are really similar. I get the feeling that inside her head, Read More...
Drinker's Guilt
First ... I have never been a drinker. There is no deep rooted religious reason for it, I just can't stand the taste of alcohol. The thing is, I could care less if my friends drink, I am comfortable at a bar. But, for some reason, when you don't drink, Read More...
So you don't run out of things to worry about...
So I read a quote I like yesterday, and it got me thinking... " A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure." ~ Lee Segall This quote is super cool, but I think I mis-interpreted at first. Apparently, Lee had Read More...
Are we that gullible?
This one has been in my head for a while, and I am not even sure the advertisement is on the TV/Radio anymore, but it recently came back and annoyed me. It's for Sleep Doctor. The commercial is annoying for many reasons, but I find the most annoying part Read More...
NASCAR for dummies
I eat cereal every day for breakfast. And recently our TV broke in the kitchen, leaving me with nothing better to do than read the cereal box. I am currently eating through a box of Honey Nut Cheerios. They now have this idea to put an iron-on on every Read More...
Who says that?
I thought I should post about my dislike of the phrase 'Duly Noted'. It is not that it is so bad, but honestly who really says that? It seems like the only time you would really say that is when you are saying it just because it is funny... it isn't all Read More...
Random Stuff
I got Nina a laptop for Christmas, and love this whole wireless thing. Even as a self proclaimed 'geek' and electrical engineer that knows how all this stuff works, I am still totally amazed by this wireless stuff. I can sit on the couch with just the Read More...
