Remember school assemblies when you were a kid? If not, I forgive you. At least you probably remember the salient point, that getting out of class was pretty great in and of itself no matter what the assembly tried to teach us. There we would sit in the auditorium listening to a boring guy (who [...]
I‘ve had the pleasure recently to become acquainted with Wayne Elsey, the founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls is a non-profit organization that has, to date, donated upwards of 15 million pairs of shoes to kids in need around the world. Wayne Elsey was motivated towards charity in 2006 by the Indonesian tsunamis. The one [...]
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already been to a ton of websites trying to figure out how to get a rush passport. Whether you lost your passport or were just procrastinating, you need a new passport right away. HH Let me save you some time and money. Do not go to one of those express [...]
5 Reasons you Might Enjoy Blogging: 1. Express Yourself: If you’ve ever wanted to say something but you’ve never found an outlet, blogging might be for you. I had a lot to say when I first started blogging, and I haven’t stopped blabbing since. I’ve written at least one post every day for almost two [...]
Why is it that the girl you want always seems to fall for the macho a-hole instead of you? My theory is that she’s stupid, he’s stupid, and you’re mistaken for wanting her in the first place. That’s a pretty scientific observation, isn’t it? I probably feel that way because I’ve never been a [...]
It seems that any half-wit can get a teaching certificate these days. Unfortunately, I see a lot of half-wits also realize this. Public schools are a mixing pot of teachers who care but stink at teaching, teachers who don’t care and stink at teaching, and awesome teachers who are great because they care and they [...]
A lot of you have probably seen the Mythbusters episode where Jamie and Adam tested whether or not yawning is contagious. It turns out that yawning is indeed contagious – or, rather, catching (Adam and Jamie’s numbers don’t exactly match the research, but they’re pretty close). When someone else yawns what you’re doing by [...]
By Dennis Yu and Keith Wilcox I don’t always post articles about parenting or children. I also have a passion for warning people about scams. My all time favorite scam warning is about Multi Level Marketing. I posted an article a year ago about Send Out Cards (an MLM company) that has gotten over [...]
Sonnet #2 When forty winters shall besiege thy brow And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field, Thy youth’s proud livery, so gazed on now, Will be a tattered weed of small worth held. Then being asked where all thy beauty lies, Where all the treasure of thy lusty days, To say within [...]
Best is a subjective term. Obviously there are thousands of great albums that I’ve never heard which other people would think are the best. But, in the last 30 days I’ve driven a little over 6,000 miles with my wife and two boys, and I’ve listened to quite a few albums. With kids in [...]
Christie Sims, Emergency Services Dispatcher for Tompkins County New York, has been kind enough to answer some of my questions regarding 911. Since this blog is dedicated to parenting I think there is nothing more relevant to parenting than teaching kids how to handle an emergency. 911 is a number with which every American child should be familiar.
