How to clear a room of teenagers
I have 2 teenagers, both girls. It seems there is always a guest in our house. It may be just one additional kid, or a whole house full, but, I am going to start taking their pictures and hanging them on the wall so I can remember who they are.
One thing I have learned is how to clear the room any time I want. 5 words, that’s all it takes. And here is how to accomplish this unbelievable feat.
Just get in the room with the kids. Listen carefully (but not obviously) to the conversations you hear. And yes I said [...]
3 Estrogen - 1 Testosterone = Insanity
I am married with 2 teenage daughters. We have 2 female dogs and 2 female cats.
Is it any wonder I am a geek?
Oh yeah, there is one male Gerbil left, although we have not spent much time together.
Things that I can’t grasp.
Didn’t we just buy a 24 roll pack of toilet paper.
Why do they have to straighten their hair?
How much does makeup cost?
That bug is smaller than your fingernail, step on it!
How many pair of shoes is in that closet?
Start getting ready for a 7pm movie at 2pm.
Things that help me survive.
Headphones
Nascar
Guitar
Ukulele
Internet
Soduko
Poker
So, it is a fact, 3 Estrogen - 1 [...]

Lesbian school president forced to resign by Roman Catholic Church for speaking against Prop 8
A young casualty of Prop 8 Robin McGehee was a dedicated parent at St. Helen's Catholic School in Fresno, Calif. Even before the Mississippi transplant enrolled her son, Sebastian, in the pre-K program last year, she volunteered at the school because it was right in her neighborhood. She helped St. Helen's secure their first email address and Web site and worked with students on public speaking since she teaches communications at the local College of the Sequoias. When McGehee enrolled he
Getting laid in the NYT (part 2)
A while back I commented on the New York Times's reluctance to print "get laid" (even in quoted speech). Then it occurred to me to check out what the paper did with the movie Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1987: directed by Stephen Frears, screenplay by Hanif Kureishi). And, surprise, it had no problem with the title back then; Vincent Canby did a review on 30 October 1987, and the title has appeared in the paper's pages a number of times since then (though some publications referred to it just as S
A Tribute to Max, by Doug Stringer
My friend Doug Stringer emailed the following tribute to our mutual friend R. Max Torres late last night. Here’s to remembering a man who lived life to the Max. ___________________ As some of you may have heard, Max Torres riding his motorcycle to church was in a fatal motorcycle accident this past Tuesday evening (Nov. 18). Overflow and standing room only crowds filled the sanctuary at El Tabernaculo Assembly of God, the gymnasium and chapel, while hundreds were turned away. Many testifi
What is Pregnancy Rhinitis?
Some of us breeze through pregnancy without any issues while others are textbook; we have every symptom known to occur during pregnancy. One little discussed condition that affects some pregnant women is pregnancy rhinitis or rhinitis of pregnancy. What is Pregnancy Rhinitis? This refers to the stuffy, uncomfortable nasal condition that afflicts many pregnant women during pregnancy. It has no environmental causes and generally begins sometime during the first trimester of a pregnancy, but can
Officials: Democrats plan quick 2009 start on bills
Eager for a quick start, Democratic congressional leaders intend to begin work in early January on priority legislation so it can be ready for President-elect Barack Obama's signature shortly after he takes office, according to officials familiar with the plans. These officials said an economic aid measure, legislation to expand health care for lower-income children and a loosening of Bush administration rules covering federally funded embryonic stem cell research are among the bills at the ce
The Kids of The Square Table.
Since migrating the children from their highchairs to their smaller dining room table, I've gotten some emails asking how it's going. I am really shocked and amazed to tell you all that it's really going swell. We still have some incidents of food stealing, but we had that with the highchairs as well. We have very few fights of who is going to sit where, and rarely do we have anyone jumping up and go roaming around during mealtime. I'm really happy with the way things are going now, and hopefull
Obama to Develop Plan to Create 2.5 Million Jobs
President-elect Barack Obama has instructed his economic team to develop a plan to create 2.5 million jobs over the next two years, suggesting that he intends to push a more expensive package to stimulate the economy than he has so far proposed. Speaking during the Democrats' weekly radio address, Obama said that his team would work out the details of the package in the coming weeks but that he expects to present it to Congress in January and to sign it into law soon after taking office. I
Yeah Right!
[Washington Post] The only obstacle between kids and their french fries: Mom. So here is Debra DeMuth, McDonald’s global nutrition director, mounting a spirited defense of fries to five mothers of young children at a McDonald’s in Baltimore. “They are probably one of the most victimized foods,” DeMuth says. Plausible reason: A medium order at McDonald’s, besides the delectable taste, includes 380 calories, 270 milligrams of sodium and a color preservative called sodium acid pyrophos

Weekend tidbits
I wanted to let you all know about a few things going on this weekend. First of all, there is my weekend column at WorldNetDaily. This week, I talk about prayer, particularly in light of our having recently elected a new President. To read that, click here. This Sunday at Harvest I have asked James Merritt, one of our Preach the Word Conference speakers to be our special guest in the pulpit on Sunday. It is sure to be a blessed service, as James is a powerful communicator of God’s Word. Sp

How Doctors Fail Parents of Children on the Autism Spectrum
How Doctors Fail Parents of Children on the Autism Spectrum.
Does it matter? It matters to me!
After watching schools jump through hoops for years, it is ironic that it didn't matter. Of course it mattered! It mattered to the parents. It mattered to the children! It mattered to the teachers. When will it stop? Since the research-based programs are now proving to make no difference, when can we go back to common sense teaching? When can children read and write and get science, social studies and recess? Study of Reading Program Finds Lack of Progress
Helping Those In Need
Helping Those In Need November 22, 2008 Have you made your list and have you checked it twice? I know I’ve been working on my lists of things to buy and things to get done for the Christmas season. But you know we need to do? In the busyness of this holiday season? We need to slow down and think about those who are in need. I am assuming that if you are reading my blog that you are blessed enough to have an internet connection. Which in my mind, is more than we need. I was looking at a
$12 was too much,
so the audience was smallish at my and Wang Ping's reading yesterday. Among those who did come were Robert Hass, Brenda Hillman and Rachel Loden. Paul Hoover was the host, so Maxine Chernoff was also there. Afterwards, all of us went to dinner at a very popular and eclectic (or maybe just confused) restaurant. In 1992, Hass and Lucille Clifton were the judges who gave me, an unpublished writer painting houses for a living, a $50,000 Pew Grant, payable in monthly installments over two years. I'd
Obama Listening To Progressives, Investing In The Future
By Cernig On November 18th, the Campaign for America's Future, a progressive think-tank, launched a report that called for a massive investment to create jobs and restore America's neglected infrastructure. Now, President-Elect Obama has promised to deliver exactly that. In launching their report, CAF authors Eric Lotke, Alex Carter, Brian Dockstader, Schuyler Beckwith and Molly Swartz wrote: America is falling apart. Falling apart, and falling behind. Previous generations of Americans bui
Obama’s Plan to Create 2.5M New Jobs
Obama’s Plan to Create 2.5M New Jobs This morning the President-Elect unveiled his plan to create 2.5 million new jobs–with an emphasis on green jobs–in the next two years. Watch the video and you will get a sense of his total determination. We’ll put people back to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, modernizing schools that are failing our children, and building wind farms and solar panels; fuel-efficient cars and the alternative energy technologies that can free us from our d
