Stimulation! ;-)

randyfielding — Mon, 12 May 2008 00:54:02 -0400

I just got my tax rebate yesterday, and I can't wait to go and Stimulate The Economy™! My wife and I got a whopping $1500. No small chunk of change there! We are going to save the money and use it towards a down payment on our next new vehicle purchase. However, before said vehicle is purchased, my wife has clearly stated to me that she must be pregnant again with child number two. How is that for an ultimatum?

If you received a tax rebate, what are you and your family planning on doing with it?

i came home from work 30 minutes ago to an empty house.

the kids are sleeping over my sister-in-laws and my wife when to a co-workers college graduation party.

the house is empty and quiet and i'm confused at to what to do. the possibilities are endless. it's like i just skipped my first day of school and i'm like "okay, home alone. now what?"

i think i'll spend some time drinking and working on math equations first and then just go from there.

There is not a shortage of rooms for the convention.....yet

Addressing the rumored shortage of rooms at the convention hotel....

There is not yet a shortage of rooms, there are more left. They set us a block of rooms, and if we don't fill them in a certain ammount of time, they cut back some of the block. I just spoke to my contact at the hotel, and we are good. We still have plenty of rooms available with our discount, for now.

Navigating the 4 year old social world

mbieweng — Thu, 08 May 2008 17:04:41 -0400

My daughter is 4 and she's somewhat shy. That may be something that we can't change, but I'd like to at least help her along in making friends and generally enjoying the company of others in life.

There are a few different situations that I've encountered related to this, and I'm finding it challenging to figure out how to handle these things. Here are some examples:

Convention Video!!!!

So before you freak out, this is not footage from the 2007 Hospitality Suite, but it is my video entry for...

the 2008 At Home Dad's Sacramento Convention Music Video with Ukuleles and Singing Stuff Contest,

Help me with a song title???

Uke_Skywalker — Thu, 08 May 2008 12:00:44 -0400

So here is a entry for a online Ukulele contest that I entered.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-qDKnVYHQQ

I got the tab off the internet and was titled "Comanche", BUT I listened to Comanche and that is not it, so I was wondering if any of you guys know what the title of the song is. I had never realized how hard on an instrumental to find out who played it and what it was called.

Thanks,

Photo ID for kids

Itux — Thu, 08 May 2008 00:05:31 -0400

Hi guys

I have been thinking about getting a photo ID for my 2y6m old son. He already have his passport, but I want something more the size and portability of a State ID Card.

What do you guys think about state id cards for kids?

The Flip Side of My Lovley Morning

New No.2 — Wed, 07 May 2008 23:13:31 -0400

After my lovley moring at the "office" I went to the (grimace) Kensington Post Office. I went, as we all do, to get held mail. As we all know friends and family like to address packages to our kids, so the name on the package was that of my daughter. I produced ID showing who I was and slid the package notice though the window.

Husband considering SAHD lifestyle

Morgannon — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:25:55 -0400

Hello everyone!

I'm brand new to the forum, and am really interested in getting some advice from all of the SAHDs out there.

First, some background: my wife is a radiologist. Her salary potential absolutely dwarfs mine - she will be making $450-$500K a year once she starts her new job in July of this year. In contrast, I barely break $60K. My job is in downtown Chicago, and hers is going to be about two hours east of the city. We don't have any kids (but have a wonderful dog!) yet, but are trying, and we have talked about adopting if we can't get pregnant naturally.
