If you come up with a "rocking" Thanksgiving song, I gotta hear it! I don't really get sick of the Christmas music, I just think it diminishes the joy of the actual holiday when it starts in the wrong month :)

Another reason why TiVo is a beautiful thing. You can watch a weeks worth of your favorite shows in just a couple of hours! Sorry Ad execs.

Big families seem to be back in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

When I was growing up (born in 1970) I knew only a couple of families that had 3 or more kids. My parents were both from bigger families but I have only one sister. Lately I have been meeting a lot of big families. My husband's cousin, for instance, has 5 kids. I met a family this evening with 5. Most of the families I see when picking my son up from school have at least 3. We have 2 and have been debating a 3rd. My baby is growing up (just turned 3) and I am heartbroken at the th

Way cool! I had the sound off but got the gist ;) Just kidding, I watched (and listened to) the movie. So, it was about 6:30 and 41 degrees out. Better bundle up and go home :)

Reply to I hate laundry! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

KarmaGirl, I am glad you explained why you like "playing with the washer" :) A laundry chute would be cool except it would only be a matter of time before one of the boys got stuck in there or sent the turtle on a journey to the laundry room. My hubby's cousin has one and also has two small boys. Can't wait to hear the tales.

Facetious should be my middle name (would be if my Dad had his way). Yikes! 2 to -1! I hope my husband is reading. He says we should be at a 5 times a week minimum. Maybe you should check out Ebay for yourself. I heard there are German women on there :) I apologize to anyone who knows us that might be emotionally damaged by the content of this comment. Just go to your happy place.

Maybe someone could write some Thanksgiving songs :) They were playing Christmas music at the salon when I got my son's hair cut last night. At least wait until after Turkey day! The poor kids are going to explode with anxiety waiting from Halloween until Christmas morning, being teased with Christmas music.

Abe, to be honest, before we had our second child, my husband and I were happy staying home with our first child. He was always content to play quitely and we could take our eyes of him for quite some time without him destroying things. Then his brother came along. Not only is he a wild one, but he brought his brother out of his shell also. Like KarmaGirl said, everyone needs to do what is best for them but you have to make sure you are still connecting. Don't just let the relations

Lyn, sounds like your wife is a lucky, lucky lady. She's not new and interesting and you get laid whenever you want, why would you DATE her?

Don't you hate it when... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Don't you hate it when: you are in the shower and realize you forgot to get a towel. you are in a public restroom, pull down your pants THEN realize there is no toilet paper. people say "irregardless" and "supposably" you reach the middle of a sentence and forget what you were saying and......anyway, what was I saying ? :) people tell you they bought something for you but can't tell you what it is because they want to surprise you later...much later.

I hate laundry! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I just have to say, I hate laundry! It isn't difficult, it's just never done. I am convinced that towels multiply while in the hamper. The second you think, "ah, the last load" there are three more lurking in the closet. It seems like every single day of my life I am handling laundry. Put some in the dryer from the washer. Put more in the washer. Bring more down from the bedroom. Sort it. Fold what was in the dryer. Put it away. Repeat.....argh! I need a sense of accomplishme

Abe, married for 10yrs with 2 small children. Once a week is much more realistic than every day. Do you have a preschooler? Do you have a child in school? I have boys. There is nothing quiet about being home with boys. Going out is my only hope of sitting to do anything. You go Frogboy!

"You stuck what in your ear??" Made me think you worked with kids. Can't imagine what that means in a correctional facility! BTW, you can't have the 2 most beautiful sons in the world because I do :) All moms are supposed to think that though...right?! I look forward to reading your adventures.

Abe, lighten up! It seemed silly at age 10. This is about generating laughs, giggles, chuckles. Frogboy, thanks for the laughs. Ravenous wolverines.....nice!

Brainstorming in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Did you ever "brain storm" in school? I was in a group called "Challenge". It is comparable to what they now call TAD (talented and gifted). They had this silly exercise they called brainstorming where they give you subjects and you think of as many ideas regarding that subject as possible during a given amount of time. The fun part is you don't have to consider how to actually do the things you come up with. Ready, I'm going to give you some silly subjects, please make me laugh wit

I'm not a fan of small talk either. I guess I don't go to many parties where I don't know enough about the people to at least know I can safely say, "So, what are your plans for Christmas?" Talk about PC to the max! I wouldn't want to be at a party if I had to talk like that.

I usually don't care...I'm just happy to be out of the house :) Seriously, I can enjoy a movie when I am totally alone or in a crowded theatre. I agree that response from a crowd during a comedy or horror flick can enhance the experience.
