I have watched my nephew play baseball for a few years now from the sidelines. This year I was asked to help coach the team and it has made me understand a few things. Parents get really serious about their kids sporting events. Some keep it to themselves others are vocal and find themselves in the car for the game. I never understood how they could get so i
The details... My nephew is a very smart kid. He picks up almost anything and figures it out no matter what it is. He did the hooked on phonics course before he was in school but never really got the hang of sight reading. This should have been clue number one to his mother. He went to public school for kindergarten and then switched to private school in the first
You have no idea. Atleast the meds are good though.
My family (Wife, Mom, Dad, Sister and Nephew) took a vacation to Orlando in January. My wife and mom are both architects so we went down for the international home builders show. We had a really great trip. My wife and I drove in one car and the rest of the family in another. We stopped on the way down and stayed at a hotel on the beach. It was really great to wake up
I am so unmotivated to blog. It really sounded like a fun idea when I started. I guess it's just a mood or something. I think I'll blog about my recent vacation. Next article...
I have been verry pleased with SP2's perfomance. I have installed it on several of the machines in our office and haven't noticed any issues with the way it interacts with our custom software. We have a Cisco PIX firewall here so we are pretty secure. On the home front, it has all but stopped the regular reformating required on my wife's PC. I have also found another usefull tool issued by Microsoft. Finally they have released active spware p
Sorry for the somewhat racially insensitive title. My frustration stems from overseas outsourcing. To make a long story short, I have fired my Dell sales representative. It seemed like I got a new one every three months and the first thing the new guy always wanted to know was how much I was going to spend and when. The motive is obvious. All of their accoun
Thank you for your responses. Cooking is something I never have a problem with. I love to cook (and I do it well). Tex- I agree if I could get away with it, my couch would have a permanent butt grove where I sit.
I am not always the most active person, and sometimes but not often I don't get to all of my responsibilities due to a need of ass to chair time, but some people just irk me to no end. My cousin's wife and he moved back in with his parents because they were in the process of selling their home. He is joining the Air force and will go to boot camp shortly. Th
My wife snores soooooooo loud. Sometimes I just want to push her off of the bed so she will wake up. She is so loud that I have to yell at her so she can here me telling her to change positions. She snores in all positions too. She doesn't like it but the spray really does work. When she won't stop long enough for me to drift off I make her spray and all is well.
So often the sacrifices of military spouses go unnoticed. While sometimes I wish my wife would go away for a while, I know I would be really lonely without her. I wish your circumstance were different. Thank you for what you do for your country.
I am pretty new to the JU community. I chatted on VP for a long time and have been around the internet and its various forms of personal communication for a very long time. I am having a really hard time understanding something though... Back when VP was cool there was the occasional argument between the regulars. People came, and they left. It was no big dea
BRAVO! My wife and I entered into a similar situation, only with family. We took in my brother-in-law's four children. In the end the parents caused too much trouble for the children to ever adjust to living with us. We had them for almost a year. Good Luck and God Bless.
Amen! Sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory, but funny thing is ... the idea is entirely plausible.
I just read an article in Information Week concerning the use of Cell phones while airborne. It seems that the FAA is going to examine the current ban on such activity. Give me a break! Already if I choose to go see a movie at a theater for around $30, I have to listen to the barrage of teenie cell phones going off until the movie starts. I might be ok with

Some days I wish I wasn't curious.
I like this community. It's time this majority was no longer silent. After all this country is all about majority rules.
I have to admit that I like to watch some of the reality shows out there. I watch Survivor and The Amazing Race. In fact, I never miss an episode unless I am bleeding from my eyes or something. I was appalled at the actions of Jonathan (of the team of Jonathan and Victoria). Victoria chose to pick up his pack after he decided to drop it on the way to the check point
I have a real problem with large crowds and close quarters. I freak out. Panic attack freak out! I have to get out. However I have learned to deal with smaller groups in tight spaces. I had a boss once who thought that invading personal space was a great way to extort a powerless feeling over his prey. In the beginning I would just get all freaked and want to run. Then I learned a bit about body language and when he edged in I moved closer. If that did
I think Rummy said it best ... you can't go to war with the army you want .. you go with what you have. I am sure you believe that Sadam was not a threat though.
just john stems from my first night working as a radio personality at the local college station. I was about to go on and had not even considered using anything other that my given name (John). The girl on just before me was on air, paused to ask who I was, and I replied "I'm just going to use John". Born by silly mistake, just john hit the airwaves and doesn't really bother me. I am a simple person. It just fits.
I am glad that I live in a country where I can freely express my opinions. I am no history buff, I am not buried in all of the political jargon that passes through popular news and I certainly don't keep up with all the articles posed on the net. Recently, "religious songs" were removed from a public school because they didn't want to offend anyone
My wife and I will be together eight years at the end of this month. We used to be Christmas freaks. I always loved the holidays before then. Something changed last year and while the source is gone the problem still remains. My wife and I decided to help her brother and sister-in-law. They have four kids and were experiencing marital/financial pro
I am living proof that ADD kids do survive. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in High School, so I went untreated for quite a while. I have never taken meds for ADD, but when I was in school I am sure my teachers whished I had. I had four children in my care last year and they were all suffering from diffrent degrees of ADD. On the two that were older (pre teens) the meds didn't make that much of a difference, but on the 7 and 9 year olds was a
I've never really had a great relationship with my dad. It hasn't been bad but just not great. When I was younger I was always in trouble of some sorts related to school. I was a horrible student. My dad traveled a lot so it always seemd when he was home I was avoiding him to fly under the radar. I am a private person (this blog is my attempt to make myself be more op
