Rated I for Immature
The weirdo-in-law gave my wife a Wii console for her birthday last summer. We have the Wii Sports that came with the system and LEGO Batman (the Little Princess bought it with her own money). For the holidays, I’m thinking about getting a game or two for the kids (really, the games are for the [...]
H1N1 Vaccines for Prison Inmates, Wall Street Workers, and Santas – But Not Kids
Maybe because I’m a dad, I see things differently than most people. But I truly think our world is upside down. For instance, our HMO didn’t get their first shipment of H1N1 vaccines until the week after our baby was hospitalized for H1N1. If the vaccines came in a couple weeks earlier, our baby wouldn’t [...]
Box Tops for Education
The Box Tops for Education team sent me an email about their Power of 1 contest. For the dads and moms who don’t know, parents can clip Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios, Hamburger Helper, and Kleenex. Turn them into your kid’s school and each Box Tops coupon is worth 10¢ for [...]
Single Dad of Three
Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers. Our family really appreciates it. I also want to thank Robert Nickell, the owner of DaddyScrubs.com. Nickell also owns a pharmaceutical company and has offered to sell the expensive anti-seizure med at cost. What a great guy! Sorry I have not been out in the blogosphere [...]
National Sex Offender Public Website
With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to search the National Sex Offender Public Website for sex offenders in our neighborhood. Yeah, I know. As a dad, I should check the sex offender public website year round instead of just around Halloween time. My bad. I’ll do better. Luckily for us, the search only [...]
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I must be a bad dad because I missed the news yesterday about Harry Potter the Ride. Apparently, Universal Orlando will open the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the spring of 2010. According to the Universal Orlando Resort, guests will be able to sip Butterbeer in Three Broomsticks, buy Extendable Ears at Zonko’s, and [...]
Mom and Dad Blogs
I put together a directory of mom blogs and dad blogs on Daddy Forever. I added some of the suggestions from the HP notebooks giveaway to a list I had been compiling when I’m not busy making babies with my wife. This first pass of the listing is the beta release (Version 0.1). The directory [...]
When She Was Young and Happy
After burying my mom this morning, I’ve concluded people should never have to plan their parents’ funeral. When you lose someone like your mother or father, the last thing you want to do is talk to a complete stranger about the funeral arrangements. You don’t want to answer questions like: Would you prefer a metal [...]
Goodbye Mom
My mom passed away on Tuesday. She lived a sad life. Her life started on a bad note when she born in China and was not allowed to immigrate to America. A guardian took care of my mother in China while her parents raised her brothers and and sisters in the states. My mom was [...]
Links Roundup – 2009.06.19
I won a $100 Home Depot gift card from Idaho Dad. Yay! Now I have to hide it. Otherwise, my wife will spend it all before I can make it out to Home Depot. A while back, I also won a 16×20 poster from Kari. I’m on a roll. I should buy a lottery ticket. [...]
