    Not arguing that... unemployment is still relatively low, but I am seeing lots of small businesses closing doors..... and perhaps its just my perception. Maybe it's just the amazon effect. IDK. but we are also on the heels of some pretty large cuts to the automotive sector as well. Feels a...

    Ear wax

    when I was a teenager(17 or 18) i got a blockage. I tried to dig it out with q-tips and made it worse. Had to go to the dr. and he tried using a hoop shaped scraper to remove the wax from the eardrum. The pain was so bad and the ear started to get real irritated and swollen. Needless to say...

    Friday OT #2 - The Case Is Mistaken Identity

    I am really bad with names, and have a terrible memory. I really hate it when someone comes up and starts talking to me and I don't recall ever having met them. They will talk to me about specific things to me, so I know it's not them, its me, but I can't place the name or the face. It's only...

    Friday OT #2 - Permanent Vacation

    If you haven't, already, talk to my wife. We went on a trip two years ago to Oahu (2 nights) and Kauai (5 nights?). We did plenty of on the go stuff and plenty of on the beach/in the water stuff. It was a great balance, and I think about going back at least once a week, if not more. In Oahu...

    NYE OT: Out With the Old

    Have had them twice myself..... worst pain ever! When I had the last one busted up, they said I had another forming on the other side. I am just waiting for the day it hits. However, I have heard that riding on rough roller coasters can have the same effect as the sonic procedure they did to...

    First time parent advice, tips, tricks, etc.

    DO NOT CO-SLEEP! Co-sleeping offers the lure of peaceful nights while they are nursing, and you almost never have to get up, but when it's time to get them in their own bed....... FORGET ABOUT IT!

    First time parent advice, tips, tricks, etc.

    Besides, you get to be the FIRST person to see your child. As a father, you don't get a lot of special perks over Mom. Most of the time you'll be second fiddle. You don't get the same level of bonding when they are newborn. This is the ONE THING YOU DO GET! Take it all in!

    Cinnamon Rolls or Corn Bread with Chili?

    I grew up(central Iowa) with cornbread, cheese, and sour cream. My wife grew up(lake city) with saltines and cinnamon rolls. We typically serve with whatever you want in it, and a cinnamon roll on the side. I like either way and won't ever pass up the opportunity to eat a cinnamon roll(or...
