    Happily Married?

    I’m going to ask a question that sounds kind of conceited and smug on the assumption that, having been a member here for close to 20 years, you know that’s not the time I’m trying to strike... I’m genuinely asking a question I’m honestly curious about. For those who see this as an insult or a...

    Just how important is celebrating Father's Day on the exact day?

    Right now the Father's Day issue is causing a huuuuge dramafest with my husband and his ex-wife. The crux of it is that we were tired of the hassle that doing a custody schedule that was different each and every week and I was having a hard time getting my hours, so we set up an agreement where...

    High School Politics for the 30+ Crowd

    I'm not sure how to refer to it... A social circle that we are sort of a part of, though aren't really anymore (at least to the degree others in said circle are) is undergoing quite the upheaval/scandal that's really dividing people. I'm interested to see how people would respond. Please...

    The Kinect

    So... Am I the only one who has one? I have to say, the dang thing is amazing. Way more amazing then I ever thought it would be. We only have 2 games right now, the "Kinect Adventures" and "Dance Central." The "Kinect Adventures" is what one would expect from a pack-in game, but "Dance...

    If you look up pathetic loser in the dictonary, you'll find me...

    Ok, so last night I was feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to dust off my Wii and play some classic Zelda. I don't know why, I was just in the mood. So I fiddle around, find the cord, plug it in, mess with the TV and try to get it to work, try various plug combinations and finally after 10...
