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 [...]



Fathers Day Fun

I hope all the Fathers out there had as much fun as I did on Fathers Day.
My 2 teenagers pitched in a bought me a Mahalo White Flying V Ukulele. I had been looking at the Ukulele as a potential new instrument since seeing the Jake Shimabukuro video of him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps. If you have not seen it, check it out.
The kids gave me the Uke on Saturday so I could have fun all weekend, and that is exactly what I did.
What really impressed me was how much stuff is on the web for the Ukulele, [...]



How to clear a room of teenagers

I have 2 teenagers, both girls, one is 13 and the other is 17. 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 rest of the Year

Well I made it through Christmas. My Dad came from Florida and spent a couple days with us on his way to Texas. Always good to have him with us. I always realize how much like him I truly am. Like looking in a mirror.
I am working 2 days this week and then I will be off until next Tues. I would like to think I will relax and work on some of my pet projects, but, I am sure the “Honey Do’s” will capture a lot of my time.
Just a few of my computer projects I have going.
I am [...]



Having fun with Music

All of my life I have had some involvement with music. As the youngest child I was taught to play the guitar by my brother so I could “sit in” with him and my sister. My sister is one of the best piano players I know. She has a God given talent, it justs flows from her fingers as naturally as anything I have ever seen.
For several years in the mid 80’s my brother and I were both working in the music industry. Him at WEA and myself working for a national music store retail chain. We had some interaction [...]



Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite Holidays, although I am known as somewhat of a scrooge for most Holidays.
Thanksgiving is always a time of personal and family reflection, along with great food and football. This years trip to the in-laws will be a little hard for us. My father in-law passed away a month ago and this will be our first holiday without him.
I always look forward to the drive. In 18 years of marriage I have become spoiled on road trips. My wife likes to drive and let me just ride along playing on my laptop. [...]



Mr. Mom

My lovely wife has been away for a few days, and I am soooo glad she is back !!
I will admit that my teenage daughters are not as hard to take care of as they once were, but, I know that my wife does so much on a daily basis to make our family run smoothly. I consider myself a pretty good man when it comes to helping around the house, however, keeping up with the kids and all their functions is a little overload on top of my daily work and duties.
My wife would call and start asking me [...]






Lindsay’s dad threatens to reveal family’s secrets in tell-all TV special


Lindsay Lohan’’s father Michael has said that he would reveal all his family’’s secrets in a tell-all TV special – after his actress daughter accused him of being “out of control.” Michael Lohan had earlier said that Lindsay’s gal pal Samantha Ronson was using his daughter for publicity and he would do anything to get Samantha out of her life. However, the ‘Mean Girls’ star has hit back at his claims, saying that her dad is a bully. Michael also attacked his ex-wife Dina, Lindsay’’s mothe

Kozhikode declared first e-literate city in Kerala


Kozhikode, Aug 30 (IANS) Kozhikode was Friday declared the first e-literate city in Kerala, thanks to a special scheme that aims at making at least one member of each family computer literate. The e-literacy project was kicked off in the city in 2005. It was executed by Akshaya, a scheme of the Kerala government’s IT mission, which aims at 100 percent e-literacy in the state, assisted by the city corporation and women’s self-help group ‘Kudumbasree’. “The objective was to make at least on

My Favorite Time of Year is Comin Near (pfblogs.org)


I have mentioned before that I am trying really hard to start saving for Christmas Early. Black Friday is one of my favorite days to acheive Christmas bliss with my family because that is how you can grab the best deals on merchandise. For those of you who are not aware what Black Friday is, it is that day after Thanksgiving. I usually dote around the ads during Thanksgiving with the family and watch that paper travel everyone's hands. Sometimes I never see the paper again. I discover that this

Don’t Be SOL Sad Sack Ticketless At The Stadium


Like most of you, this first big football weekend for me is going to be spent in front of the tube and at the stadium. And thankfully, when I’m at the ballpark, I won’t be one of those sad sacks you walk past as you go into the stadium - hopelessly trying to score last-second seats for their drunk stray buddy or family member. Man that sucks. On Labor Day, I’m going to the UCLA-Tennessee game, and will be live blogging for SbB (with a SbB Girl in tow - be sure and check out the pix!). Now th

Detoxification: New Environmental Concerns Necessitate Action


As PalMD has pointed out, millions of Americans use detoxification to improve their optimal health and well being. But the wisdom of detoxification has an underbelly, one not discussed in the MSM: what happens to those toxins after detoxification? Unfortunately, those toxins do not just disappear. They are exuded from your body and circulate in your immediate environment, placing your family members and animal companions at risk. The toxins then magnify in their bodies, and if they detoxify, y

Katrina, three years on: Clayton Cubitt


Photographer Clayton Cubitt updated his "Operation Eden" blog today to mark the third year since Hurricane Katrina. He grew up in and around New Orleans. That's his mom on the far left. Here was his first post on that blog. She lost their (very modest) family home in the storm, as did many thousands of other moms, many thousands of other families. Clayton's mother is doing okay, but in spite of -- not thanks to -- the systems we're supposed to rely on in America, the systems created to help t

Kuningan


Kuningan Today in Bali is Kuningan. Occurring once in every 210 days in the Balinese cycle of days, Kuningan is the end of the most important of the regular religious ceremonies for the 10-day Galungan period. During this period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have uncremated deceased ones buried in the village cemetery must make offerings at the
