I have been so grateful for this site, it has been wonderful in making me more comfortable about my relationship. Basically, it comes down to the fact that my boyfriend and I are at the point where sex would seem like the next natural step, but every time we get close, we end up having a discussion instead. We have been together for a year now, are 21 and are both virgins, and while he is completely ready, I am not sure I am. We have engaged in all other sexual activities, manual, oral, etc, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around the idea of having actual intercourse.I have told him why - nervous, scared that the relationship will change, that it will become all about the physical, etc. And while he says he wants me to be comfortable, I think that he is really getting frustrated. I feel like even though we are not having sex yet, everything is now about that. And the last time we were together, it was all about him...physically I mean. And he is never like that. I just don't know if I am making too big a deal out of the whole sex thing. I mean we have talked the issue to death already, and I want to know what sex with him would be like....is there anything I can do to take the pressure off of myself and to therefore, take the pressure off our relationship?
I heard about a male birth control pill a few years ago but have not heard anything about it since. Does it even exist? Other than the condom, I feel like it's always the woman's responsibility. I know that the consequences of unprotected sex are heavier for women but I would love it if it wasn't always the woman who had to throw her body out of whack by taking birth control. That said, the pill and other hormonal birth control methods all seem to have some health risk involved (increased breast cancer risk, cardiovascular risk, etc.) I know we need to protect ourselves, but it seems extreme to take all these health risks to avoid pregnancy (considering the fact that many people who use birth control do not even use a condom or protection against STIs). I just think that if a man loved a woman, he would not want her to increase her risk of certain health problems by taking the pill. Is the condom really a dependable method for someone like me who refuses to take hormonal birth control? There are just so many choices to make when becoming sexually active.
My boyfriend and I are both sophomores in high school. We've been together for two years, and it's a first relationship for both of us. We've decided to wait to have actual sex until we're out of high school, but we are sexually active (as in generally being sexually intimate, including oral sex, basically everything but the actual act). My problem is, no matter how intense whatever we're doing gets, he can't come. We didn't think it was a problem, but now he's at the point where he feels like he should... just can't. Since this is a first relationship, we both have no prior experience and are really at a loss as what to do. He's really shy and won't talk to his doctor about it, so I decided to ask here. He's on Zoloft (depression meds) so we're wondering if that might have something to do with it. He's been able to a couple times that we know of in his sleep, but other than that it isn't working. He's incredibly worried that there's something wrong with him. Any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you!
Hello, I love your site very much as it offers straight and honest answers to questions that we ask ourselves every day. Thanks a lot for that ^_^
I am 23 years old, and I have 1 1/2 questions. I am currently taking Loestrin24 Fe and have been on it for about a year and a half. My main use for it was to help with painful cramps I would get every month, but now I have become sexually active with my fiance. We were both virgins who believe that sex should only be shared by two people who are truly in love and I know that I can trust him 100%. So STDs are really not an issue and I have been having sex without any other form of contraception other than birth control. My first question is as follows, is it possible/more likely to get pregnant while taking the inactive pills of the birth control cycle pack? Is it absolutely necessary to use a condom as a secondary form of birth control while I am on the inactive pills?
My next and main question is this, currently I start my pill pack on a Monday, and with this specific birth control I start the inactive pills on a Thursday therefore I get my "period" on a Saturday. I don't want to get my period on a weekend anymore, so what is the best way to restart my cycle so that I get it say on a Monday or Tuesday. Would it be okay to just take the inactive pills up to Sunday which is the last day I am currently taking them, go without taking ANY pills for two days and start the new pack on a Wednesday-- or should I just skip some of the inactive pills altogether? Thanks a lot for your time, your site is very helpful :)
About 4 months ago, I had unprotected oral sex with a guy that I know has been with at least a few other girls. The question of protection or other sexual partners never came up, although he knew that I was a virgin and that he was not. I was worried about my risk for HIV, again, I do not know his history. I have had no testing or symptoms as of yet.
I was given an assignment in health class, asking to get this question answered on your website. I know this is a very common question among teens and thought you could help me and my classmates out. I will be bringing your response to this question into class to discuss with other peers. The question is...Can I get pregnant the first time we do it without protection? I hope to hear back from you very soon considering this is an assignment I need to report back to my health class with this information as soon as possible.
My boyfriend and I had intercourse last night without protection and he accidentally ejaculated inside. I got my period on Monday, November 5th, so I am not sure whether or not I might end up pregnant since it's almost been a week and usually when a girl has intercourse during her period it has been proven to tend to accelerate the period process during sex, which causes the period to stop. Right now I am barely bleeding, in fact I think it's only residues what I have and that the flow has completely stopped since the pad is not stained. He told his sister about the Emergency Contraceptives and she tried to get some, calling hospitals to see if they had any, the few she called said no, I live in the Republic of Panama, so the selling of those drugs might not be as available as in the United States. So lastly, she suggested to her brother for me to take Provera pills, which are supposed to enable bleeding and will not let me get pregnant; she has taken it to induce her periods before.
24 hours have not passed since the occurrence, but at around late 5 or early 6 am today it would have been 24 hours. I have two pills, I've been told to take them both at once. My boyfriend's friend called up a friend of his that has used it successfully as an emergency contraceptive and he also called another friend, a nurse, that confirmed it could be used that way. My boyfriend too, spoke with a general doctor who claimed that in this case the possibilities of me getting pregnant are small, however that the Provera would indeed help. I am however very skeptical, afraid, and worried about any side effects or whether it will prevent a pregnancy. I have researched about the side effects and don't feel good about the fact that they advise a prescription from a doctor and the side effects seem to be pretty negative and I have learned that Provera was used once as a pregnancy test. But I am extremely concerned that I have just finished my period, and so is it possible in any way to already have a period and have it extended as a result of a pill and much less have it confirm or debunk a possible pregnancy?
Please let me know as soon as possible whether or not to take these two pills! I don't know what else I can do! My parents cannot know and I don't want to have to abort! Thanks a million!

Autumn Pockets
Words and photos: Michael Barry
Ride: Three Peaks Pilgrims Ride. David and I have spoken about doing this ride for several years. After a few failed attempts we finally accomplished the goal: three long climbs--Mare de Deu del Mont, Rocacorba and El Angels-- over a 200+km clover leaf shaped route around Girona.
At the top of each mountain is a monastery with stunning views of the Mediterranean coast and the Pyrenean peaks. To make the ride a little more interesting, and on some level, thrilling, I carried a map so we could seek out the quietest route over the smallest, often dirt, roads.
On the ride we stopped at a few bakeries/bars. Midday the bars are filled with truck drivers and construction workers. As we drank coffees and ate pastries, they shoveled down plates of pork and potatoes and sipped on glasses of red wine. We both ate a few energy bars on the final run into town when our legs were aching and vision started to blur.
Pockets: In our pockets we also have our mobile phones in case of emergency, to take the occasional photo and to get in contact with worried wives when we've been out riding too long.
I carry along a rain vest and cap for the descents or if a storm blows in from the mountains. I have no idea how long the ride was as our cyclo-computers weren't working but we were out for most of the day. On a ride like this one time and distance don't really matter, as it is all about the countryside and company.

The Sunday article " 'Somebody is going to get killed,' " about the Ohio Department of Youth Services, repeats a slur about teachers working in juvenile prisons. Consider the difficulties in engaging "students" who have not attended school, often for a year or more.
Consider the difficulty in teaching when students leave a class each week and new students are added, and when many do not stay for a full academic year. Consider the difficulty of planning and teaching when some students will be absent from class to get haircuts, talk with social workers or other officers or spend time in lock-up. Some students are hostile toward any effort at instruction.
My experience as a teacher of delinquent boys for 25 years, which ended 21 years ago, suggests that the investigative reporters often fail to understand the limitations that teachers and other staff members face.
Juvenile-prison teachers want to work in circumstances where accountability is possible, but the ever-shifting efforts of the system have ways of destroying the best plans that teachers make.
I know from experience that it takes time to find productive ways of teaching. The Dispatch article served to demoralize institution teachers trying to cope with the system and engage students.

Protests Arson Attacks Against Swedish-Eritreans
On March 22, 2013, as thousands of Swedish citizens of Eritrean origin were demonstrating in Stockholm, Sweden to condemn the criminal and cowardly acts of terrorism that burned three of their community centers, Eritrean Americans across the United States visited the Swedish Embassy in Washington DC and Swedish Consular offices throughout the United States.
The message that was delivered to Swedish officials condemned the heinous crime that were committed the night of February 25, 2013, the conspicuous Swedish media silence on this act of terrorism, and the alarming inaction by the Swedish authorities.
It also called an end to the 10-year long Swedish media's virulent xenophobic campaigns that have resulted in violations of the rights of Swedish citizens of Eritrean origin. The package that was delivered included a collection of photographs that showed the destruction of the three community centers.
The three Eritrean community centers that were burned in February were places where the community gathered for all forms of its social life. These were epicenters of Swedish-Eritrean life, they were where children got school work tutorials, Eritrean language instructions, the community met for family celebrations, as well as to mourn the loss of their loved ones.
We would like to point out, despite making proper appointments and given a time and officials to meet with, some consulates, at the last hour, cancelled appointments saying: "the Swedish Embassy in Washington, DC, has instructed us to tell you to contact the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Stockholm." These acts betray motives of the Swedish Embassy officials in Washington, DC and serve as a window to what Swedes of Eritrean origin are facing in their attempt to get justice in Sweden.
Once more communities of Eritrean Americans across the US call the Stockholm police and the Swedish Government to conduct a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of these crimes and earnestly work to bring the responsible persons to justice. Terrorism is terrorism is terrorism—by any other name or under any veil. Acts of terror and vandalism should not be mistaken for political activism. There should be a bold line that should not be crossed.
We also call on all peace loving people to condemn and fight discrimination, racism and xenophobia in all their manifestations. As for the Swedish officials in the Embassy in Washington, DC, they should never think they can muzzle our voice and shun the spotlight over the crimes that happened in the heart of their capital by refusing to talk with our delegation. We will continue to raise our voices until Swedish authorities investigate fully the crimes committed against the law-abiding Eritrean Swedish Community and stop their subtle and not so subtle acts of discrimination.

This is the letterman's jacket made from wool woven by Loro Piana, the family-owned firm renowned for producing exquisite yarns at the foot of the Italian Alps for six generations.

Back to School Capture the Flag
Stuck in Vermont 190
By Eva Sollberger [09.01.10]
8/28/10: The 2nd Annual Extreme Capture the Flag games were held at Oakledge Park on Saturday night to celebrate the first week of school.
In this heated battle between kids and adults, children put their own
parents in jail, fathers and mothers tagged their offspring and a
good time was had by all.
Music: Let's Whisper, "Meet Me on the Dance Floor"

If Tech does another sad confused and 'where is god' type of album...(drum roll for epic threat) He will lose a fan! Even though he can make sad sound great (which is a dangerous power) with, for example, Low and the Noose, he is a god! So he better start actin like he knows a thing or two..OR GO HAM LIKE ITS NEW YEARS. But then again, my fantasies are "In My Head" <-----by Tech N9ne
p.s. I see an enlightened Tech N9ne doing an Everready 2: The Technician. We know his head got fucked by many factors of life, including a "God Complex" <------ by Tech N9ne and now it is on FIRE. It bares light.. Evil Brain / Angel Heart = become smart!
Thanks for your time! Ciao.
Tags: Complex, EBAH, Everready, God, Head, In, Low, My, Noose, Technician
Dude, this makes sense so don't just laugh like it aint cool. Your the first one to make it look bad. It is an individual interpretation, meaning the source is mental.
What are you even trying to say? If Tech makes a sad song that you don't like, you're not going to buy the album?
No one told you to respond anyway.
I hope he does what you don't want and he loses you as a fan.
Pretty much.
Michael Bliss said:
I hope he does what you don't want and he loses you as a fan.
I don't think tech gives a fuck weather he looses you or any of us as a fan, cuz the real ones know y there are sad songs and enjoy the therepy from it. Sure hes a rouge dog villain but even king kong had a crush on a beautiful girl. Meaning sure he can produce banger after banger but you can only make so many of the same thing without bringing a little light out. for himself, not to gain or loose fans but to make beautiful music. No one cares wheather or not just because you don't want another sad song, it doesn't mean the poor chump next to you doesn't as well as you. hes gotta please the world if not himself first.
Tech has mastered the art of creating a variety of different types of music for everyone to enjoy.
dude this is stupid... I cant even read it and it doesn't make sense.... lol you didn't even get your opinion off the ground, dog what are you doing?

Apple taking loss on new release movie sales?
Apple may be selling new release titles on the iTunes Store for less than wholesale price, according to a Wall Street Journal report. A person familiar with the matter says Apple is paying the studios a wholesale price of close to $16, while offering those titles on the Store for $14.99 each. Earlier this week, Apple announced that it would begin offering new release films from all of the major studios for purchase on the iTunes Store on the same day as the DVD release, and has since enabled Apple TV users to purchase videos directly from the device. "This is a game changer," said Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "For all the studios to offer all their movies [on the same date] as DVD, with the most influential marketing company in the digital space, is a very exciting development."

After a pretty long time of virtually no changes at all, I started to move all the content of the old Redaxo maintained "Zerowind.org" and "Flinkmann.de" web pages to a single WordPress setup.
At the moment there is pretty much the same stuff (excluding some expired stuff) available here.
Please give me some more weeks to fill in the pages and bring them up to date.
I am still thinking about what to do with www.Hijet.de … We will see.

Hallmark produces safe, family friendly movies. Youve Got a Friend is one of those movies that was originally shown on television in 2007. Its being released on DVD this week and if you want to win a copy of this very safe for the family movie keep on reading. Youve Got a Friend stars John [...]
A Dad watches The Week The Women Went
Its not that the show was that awful, its just that I didnt really like anyone in the show that much to sit through the majority of the people that I didnt like. The dads were hapless, some of the kids were spoiled brats and the women came across as knowing that their men would fail miserably. I could listen to Jeff Foxworthy recite the phone book and hes the one strand that kept me entertained through this show.
Music to motivate parents while potty training a toddler
Low brow humor 101, subtract a word and insert the word Poop. Some people love Everybody Hurts and others think its an adult contemporary mess that puts them to sleep. Now that were potty training, more often than not I hum the chorus Everybody poops, sometime ., while Toddler Mojo is on the potty. I dont know the rest of the lyrics, Ive heard them countless times, but now it always degenerates into Everybody poops and so should you ..
Baby Gender Testing Are you having a baby boy or Baby Girl?
Many doctors have noted however, that women have varying PHs and that it is the acidity of the urine that determines the colour change. There is no hard evidence proving that the PH in a pregnant woman changes according to the gender of the baby. Cravings, Drano test and Chinese calendar are just three more baby gender testing methods that fall under the broad heading myths and old wives tales.
The toy phases of a crawler through a toddler
The Yellow Horsey has been with us for almost 6 months. In toddler toy playtime this is possibly an epoch that has never existed. We purchased the yellow horse with a Little People farm. Toddler Mojo still plays with the farm occasionally, but The Yellow Horsey as hes come to known as has been to three states and is with him most of the time. Its quite the miracle that hes never been lost.
A Dad reads How Can I Be Your Lover When Im Too Busy Being Your Mother?
If you feel guilty about not being able to be at home with your kids, then you may take out that guilt by being more controlling. The unfortunate, old mantra on the double standard of womens work also factors into things. If both people work out of the house then the household tasks need to be shared. When they arent thats when the teeter totter of house work moves, jealousy, resentment , sniping and the lack of physical contact that made you parents in the first place starts to happen [..]
Four reasons why The Hulk is just like Dad
Dads are not angry all the time. My anger is always here but its graduated into several levels. These levels can be accessed at any moment, even skipping levels and going straight to rage at the drop of a hat. If my son is doing something silly when I ask him not to its merely an annoyance. If hes throwing something when Ive asked him not to its a different level and if hes about to walk into a parking lot thats where the rage kicks in.
Power Rangers Super Samurai: Black Box & Showdown review

ParaNorman is a stop-motion zombie movie with personality
Im a big stop-motion fan. I admire the hard work and dedication it takes to create the art form. Having said that, there are good stop-motion films and bad ones, it all boils down the script and story. While the story in ParaNorman is common at first glance, its well paced, not predictable and laced with enough older jokes to keep the adults entertained.
Marlow and the Monster by Sharon Cramer-Book Review
I gave the book to some wise 9 year olds and asked them what they thought of Marlow and the Monster. Even if youre different it doesnt mean that you cant still be someone elses friend, a sage 9 year old told me. As an adult reading the book my main takeaway was that the monster isnt as bad as you think he is and that hes actually quite different than what you think.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green delivers family entertainment
My eyes rolled when I heard the premise. Had Tim Burton directed this movie it wouldve been about some freaky, misunderstood garden boy with a dark secret who just wants to fit in and looks like Johnny Depp. Timothy Green also has shades of Forest Gump in that youre always rooting for this character and their eccentricities. Thankfully, The Odd Life of Timothy Green is based on a story by Ahmet Zappa and Director Peter Hedges play it slightly magical and not weird at all.
Sharon Osbourne fights her sons battle, loses the PR war
If I was 28 years old and my mother was fighting my battles for me Id be mortified. Shut up mom, sit down and let me handle it please, youre embarrassing me and exposing holes in my arguments. The legal elements, if there are any in this case-will play out in the courts.
What Christmas toys will toddlers play with after July?
He loves this toy. He takes the yellow horse that came with the farm everywhere-I mean everywhere. When he takes a nap, the farm is in the crib with him. The farm doors make animal noises, the sliding doors on the side make noises and there are other critter noises it makes when you push things.

Smelling good with NIVEA for Men-Giveaway
When I was single I had some horrible dates. One such horrible date had me picking up said girl at her friends house and going to McDonalds.

Of aging, glasses and Drew Carrey
All of eyeglasses since then have been similar. Depending on your demographic you would say that they looked like Buddy Holly or if youre a bit younger, Drew Carrey.

Is Iron Man: Armored Adventures a Marvel?
The animation is similar to anime, with lush, detailed backgrounds and scenery. As with anime, the facial features are the weakest, but are still much sharper than some animation and it is leagues above here anime used to be. We saw an episode with a 5 year old and they werent too keen on it. The 6 year old though seemed to like it much more. Consider that Im a couple years older than 6 and Iron Man: Armored Adventures can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.
Ice Age: Continental Drift is great for kids, OK for adult Mojos
It generated a couple good laughs from me and it was an enjoyable movie. However, Im a middle aged guy who sometimes thinks too much about marketing and pop culture. I took my 11 year old niece to Ice Age with me. She is close to the target demographic there I go thinking too much again. Heres what she thought about the movie: Ice age 4 was a fantastic movie! I would recommend it to everyone!
Daddy 911: My child kicked me in the groin
It certainly is better when Bob Saget or Tom Bergeron introduces a clip of you getting kicked in the groin. Then you win $100,000 and the searing, dull throb has subsided to a dull, sly grin. That is the only situation where getting kicked in the groin is funny-and then its only funny if you win buckets of cash. Cartoons, The Three Stooges and idiots on YouTube have led popular culture astray in thinking that this is fun to watch or enjoyable in any manner.
Children with dogs in the home have fewer health issues
First off, let us correct some vocabulary. You adopt a pet, you dont buy one. If you buy a pet then youre looking for a disposable item that doesnt have roots. Adopting a pet is serious business and you need to involve the entire family for this long term commitment. Its a semantic issue, but one would expect that a site like CARE 2 wouldve encouraged adoption, rather than buying a dog.

Is a baby bikini onesy offensive, tacky or just stupid?
To me it looks like an airbrush painting of a bikini, something that youd see at a carnival or a novelty shop. They were probably selling something like this near the Jersey Shore or Myrtle Beach last summer and the media or parents didnt take notice.
1 month no blade, Im close shaven and OK, #realpro #norelco
One of the things I like best about using the PowerTouch with Aquatec to shave is that you dont need expensive solution to dunk the shaver into. All you need to do is open up the razor and clean it with tap water. Occasionally you need to use the little brush to clean the foil, but that is it.
Arlo Needs Glasses Pinterest Contest and book review
As someone who reads the book to a curious toddler I like the book because its fun, short and full of colors and activities that make reading it fun. Toddler Mojo would agree in that he likes the pictures and can read some of the words, but we keep the pop out aspects of the book away from his toddler hands. Arlo Needs Glasses will also help kids get familiar with glasses and learn that some people, or even dogs need to have glasses.

Huggies Pull Ups has tools to help with potty training
In hindsight, we didnt sell potty training well enough to Toddler Mojo. He needed to know that this was something new and not scary. We sold it as big boy diapers. Since the initial try we explained it to him as big boy underwear, emphasizing more of the big boy elements and less on the diapers. Diapers are for babies, he correctly pointed out to us.
Movies on Demand are great for busy parents giveaway
I use it when my wife is out of town to watch action movies and my wife uses it when Im out of town to watch musicals or feel good movies. My wife just watched Joyful Noise the other week. Personally I find the title ironic because its highly likely that I wouldnt have found the movie joyful at all. She, however, loved it and its happy story of a church choir gave her a respite from the chaos of two noisy children.
Brave is not your typical princess animated movie
Merida is a Princess who is the object of three clumsy suitors. Her father is trying to get her married ASAP and holds a series of Highland Games to determine who the best man is for her. In reality Merida is a better warrior than all of the men, has a big fight with her mom and runs off to the wood where she meets a witch. Just before halfway through she meets the witch and the movie takes more of an old school Disney animated approach. PLOT SPOILER ..
The Philips Norelco AT830: Shaving with a vengeance #realpro #norelco
When I first picked it up I grimaced and laughed, my wife asked what was wrong. This feels like a toy, hold it, I said. The device is so light weight that I didnt think that it could cut anything, much less my facial hair. It didnt get better when I turned it on, because it doesnt make any noise. It's not that my cordless shaving devices need to sound like they're gas powered, but I was certainly expecting something other than nothing. Sure Ill try this light weight shaving devi [..]
3 Moms: 2 justified, 1 foolish
Assuming that it really happened, what is it with celebrities having naked pictures of themselves on their phone? At the intersection of celebrity and vanity there is a void where common sense dies and naked pictures are taken. You can be a hot, sexy parent- Im all for that; but parading your idiocy and lack of common sense does not help your children.
Giveaway: A Graco Pack n Play
When More Mojo came along we were offered the chance from Graco to review the Pack n Play Playard with Reversible Napper & Changer. Yeah, the official name of it is a mouthful, but it will serve More Mojo until hes 3 years old and most importantly, its incredibly easy to fold.
A Perfect Pet for Peyton is great for kids 7-10
A Perfect Pet for Peyton is a good book for you to read with children aged 7-10. The younger set will enjoy the challenges of the vocabulary, in addition to the numerous animal pictures. The older kids will learn that people express themselves in different ways. At the back of the book there are also some questions to help guide you through a discussion with the kids.
What The New Kids on the Block can teach you about aging
Im reminded of some sage wisdom that was laid down by one of the members of The New Kids on the Block. I forget the exact quote or where I read it but its a good reality check for most things, including getting older. We were never as good as our fans thought we were and we were never as bad as the critics said we were, a member of NKOTB said.
Just in time for Fathers Day: 5 memorable movie dads
Is your favorite scene when theyre in the blimp talking about the next man? Your favorite scene could be when theyre tied up together in the fire pit with the German Army in the other room. Regardless, this is one of the best father/son movies out there. Its light, breezy and packed with action. I cant wait to watch it with our son.
Brave free fun at Atlantas Centennial Olympic Park 6/16, 9-2
On Saturday, June 16 from 9-2 at Centennial Olympic Park (in the Game Plaza) youll have to chance to do all that. Whats even more amazing is that the weather in Atlanta that day is calling for a high of 83, so itll be an outstanding day to get outside.
Naptime DIY: How to mow your lawn in a diagonal pattern

Prometheus jumps in the deep end of the pool for a nice ride
When I got home I described it to my wife and she was confused. So, its a movie about the origins of life, robots and aliens? she said. I obviously did a poor job of explaining the plot to her. Its been a couple of days since I saw it and I can now say its awesome. The movie is deep, makes you think, but also has great action, robots and aliens. Dont see Prometheus if youre expecting an alien, action packed sequel to Aliens.
Im not shaving for a Philips Norelco review, #realpro #norelco, not because Im lazy or trying to look older,
For the past two and a half weeks I havent shaved. Not that I want to share my bathing and shaving habits with any readers, but I do like a good challenge. Shaving wasnt a challenge per se, but the folks at Phillips Norelco challenged a couple of guy bloggers to ditch the blade and try going electric. For the record Ill also accept any challenges that revolve around duct tape and/or bacon. My first step was to grow the facial hair. That step is easy for me, but very difficult for my [..]

Key words: free, fun, Dream Works Animation inspired wood projects at Lowe's and free. These hour-long clinics are perfect for kids between grades 2-5. The children will be making a myriad of projects as part of the Build and Grow Clinics at Lowes.
Our favorite iPad app for toddlers this month
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally plays out just like an episode of the show. The app is detailed and has many opportunities for your child to pull levers, move objects, count, say things or shake the iPad. Its a very interactive game thats manageable for a toddler to go through from start to finish.

Can you handle the tooth about the Oral-B 5000?
My dental habits were good before using the Oral-B 5000. I used the power toothbrush twice a day and flossed once a day. I still brush and floss the same number of times, but my brushing is more thorough, my teeth feel better, are whiter and Im smiling more! Its not that I was a non-smiling grouse before, but now that my teeth are visibly whiter, Ive noticed that I smile more. I was walking around the block the other day just smiling. Granted it was a pretty day, but I was full on s [..]
What do you tell your child to call their private parts?
My wife and I havent discussed this yet. Granted this is part of the equation that led us to this, but having a child who can barely talk ask you what this is-was not expected. My mind flashed forward to an 18 year old Mojo bringing home some girl with a barbed wire tattoo on her arm, tramp stamp on her back and talking about the glories of beauty school or selling in-home water purification systems.
Batman is not gay and superheroes can be deaf
Anthony Smith is a four-year old who was born without a right ear and only partial hearing in his right ear. One day he said to his mother that he wasnt going to wear his hearing aid anymore because superheroes didnt wear them. His mother wrote Marvel asking why any superheroes didnt have hearing aids. Marvel wrote back the next day, with pictures of a Blue Ear, a hero who suffered hearing damage. That is great PR and an awesome act. Blue Ear will have a limited run in a short series [..]
Madagascar themed activities around Atlanta this week
At all of these events you can register to win prizes and receive passes to an advance screening of Madagascar 3.
Farm to fork turns the backyard to a bash
I liked the cookies, but in making them I put a touch too much salt and not enough chocolate chips. User error. My testing panel didnt like them too much, however, cookies that dont taste good, dont taste that bad if you made them. So Im eating the entire batch with the help of a curious toddler. When the afternoon heat got too intense the kids went to play board games and one of the adults started to play the piano. It was a soft, real moment of family, organic music in the backgro [..]
4 books every toddler should have in their library
When Toddler Mojo turned 26 month he started to request this book. Winnie Pooh, was his request as he brought this very large book to us. The stories are a bit more difficult for us to get through, but he loves them. For a while he was sleeping with the book. Wed go in there at night to turn off his light and his face would be jammed up against a heffalump. Side not for parents: you know you read this book a lot when you start to order a hefeweizen, but say heffalump.
DIY a stay at home dad can do: Kill weeds without chemicals-Update!
We did put the vinegar mixture in one of the large spray containers that used to belong to a name brand weed killer. That was a mistake. White vinegar makes things rust easily, add salt to that and it does it even quicker. The spray container has small metal screws inside it which rusted the moment that the mixture went across it. It even stained concrete. That stain does fade a bit with time, but its still there after a couple weeks.
Sears Gifts for the Graduates Twitter Party, May 22, 1-2 PM

Vast improvements in simple devices: the Toothbrush
As the stay at home parent I brush Toddler Mojo's teeth twice a day. Once we finish with that we have just enough time to eat and go back to sleep. Brushing the teeth of a toddler is like trying to force an octopus to use chopsticks to eat fish. It requires lots of patience, calm words and upper body strength to securely hold them down.
Because Your Mommy Loves You, giveaway and review
Its book that youll read aloud to your child. The sentences are short enough so that you can put lots of emotion in each one. As a parent that reads aloud to two children, there is nothing quite as draining as reading a long sentence to squirmy children. R.W Alley does the illustration and if youve read any childrens book youll recognize his style. Its very detailed with realistic figures and Alley makes good use of the page space.
Social media and life lessons at Disney Social Media Moms
He (Shankman) also spoke the truth in this very succinct quote, Nothing exciting ever happens in your comfort zone. That quote stuck in my head, yeah, but .and it always goes back to it. In your gut you know when you should do something. In some of those cases you wait, stall and then it gets to be too late so you dont do it. Leave the comfort zone and work from your gut.
All Mojo babies try new Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers
Huggies has always kept Toddler Mojo dry. There was a brief period when we tried something else for him; but it was leak central at Urinetown and the population was spreading. Having used the new and improved Huggies diapers we can testify that it locks out wetness like a frog trying to get into a mosquito convention.
Mixbooks National Dads Got Talent Contest
Daddy Mojo will be part of a Super Dad list that will help choose some of the final winners. The photos will be broken up into a couple categories including Most Bloggable, Most Shareable and so forth. Isnt there a photo of your husband or you that typifies the manic, wonderful, funny, frustrating, loving moments that make being a Dad special? By now youve thought of a photo. Youve probably already thought of a caption for it and are planning on how to spend the $1,500 gift card [..]
A dog, toddler and dirty diapers meet in a bar
I enter the house to find the trash can open and chewed up. Unfortunately, that trash can is the one that houses all of the dirty diapers. Wilson, the aforementioned diaper bag eater, has upgraded his game, figured out his opposable paws and can open trash cans. While Im all for intelligent dogs, having them eat dirty diapers is something Id like to avoid. Dogs love to eat poop. Dogs that live in a family with children make fun of the dogs that only live in a house with cats. A tootsie [..]
A dad reads The Mommy Diaries by Dallas Louis
She acknowledges that the relationship between husband and wife is the most important element in a family. My wife is down with that theory too. The last chapter of the book was a little frustrating to read because it details a typical frustrating day in the life of a stay at home parent where nothing seems to get done. Stick with the story though because she has some motivational Bible verses that come on the tail end of it. Her name is Dallas, shes from Texas and a Christian, its ster [..]
Memories for my children and ones that I cant remember
Some days Ill go to Toddler Mojos preschool early so I can watch them play on the playground. The trick is to park just a couple rows back so you can see the playground but your little guy cant see you. There are a couple other parents that arrive early too, all so we can watch our kids. They wont remember the Sports Days or the way they flail their arms and run in circles. OK, neither of those are particularly memorable, but the way he acts now will change a little bit as he gets ol [..]
Mothers Day gift-4 tickets to The World of Coca Cola
Sometimes my Bride will surprise me with sweetie, tell me what you love about me. In the guy handbook it should state that anytime your girlfriend or Bride starts a sentence with Sweetie you should be prepared. One option is to have some sincere compliments at the ready. Another option is to have tickets to an event where you can immediately pull them out and give them to her. Failure to do either of these will result in a much longer than necessary conversation.
Disney Social Media Moms was more than a seminar
It helped that Mommy and Toddler Mojo came with me to Orlando. Even though I knew that Id be networking or in seminars for the majority of the time I wanted them to experience the customer service and atmosphere of Disney. They played in the parks of course, but it was the fact that our son walked into the pool, instead of having to be carried, that was the high point of her vacation.
Toydozer cleans up small toys like it is childs play-Giveaway!
The Toydozer helps us clean up in no time flat. The design is simple. Its basically a dustpan for your toys. Go ahead and kick yourself that you didnt invent it. The Toydozer comes with a hand held pusher to help motivate wayward toys into the scooper. Just scoop the toys up, put them where they belong and your clean-up is done in more than half the time.
Dad spends a night in the mancave: Haywire
The fight scenes in Haywire are closer, tighter and more realistic than the average spy movie. In that regard, Haywire make you feel embarrassed if you saw Salt, which looks like a kids movie compared to this. Soderberghs direction is too artsy for the first quarter of the movie; using music too much and capturing the mood, but missing some of the action. If Haywire had more action it wouldve been a much better film. As it stands, it didnt have enough action for a mancave movie, no [..]
The Atlanta Baby and Child Expo is May 12 at The Fabulous Fox
Being a parent is interesting because; if youre honest, there is so much that you know you dont know. When my wife was pregnant with our second child I had forgotten many of the intricacies of what newborns and babies do and need. Coincidentally, l attended The Atlanta Baby and Child Expo while she was [...]
The Avengers is the movie fans want and audiences can enjoy
There are countless ways that The Avengers could have been messed up. Its the stuff of legendary internet memes, with Lego characters making a bad version of the movie. The casting couldve been bad-the script couldve focused too much on one character or ignored others. Thankfully The Avengers nails it to the floor and is [...]
Hulk smash: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 5
Hulk comes to the house through a subscription. The other three I pick up at the comic book store. It would be cheaper to get them through a subscription, but theres a certain feeling going to the comic book store. From an entrepreneur level it helps support small business and thats a good thing. You can also look at other titles that might interest you. For us The Simpsons is always a close 2nd. If any of those DC titles start to crap out well be coming for you Homer.
Tips for having more fun at Walt Disney World
Dont stop in intersections or immediately after a ride to look at your map. Step to a corner or just before you enter an intersection. Most tourists will stop in the middle of an area and figure out where theyre going and this takes much more time than needed. Ask a cast member where something is, they can point you there immediately. If you know where youre going you can also cut through the stores or restaurants that are at most intersections.
Ridley Pearson visits Little Shop of Stories, May 3, 7PM
Ridley will be appearing live, in person at Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, May 3 at 7:00PM. His presentation is very enjoyable and if youre a fan of his work or young adult books youll really like it. Hes also giving away a prize, just check out his website for details. Hint: to win the prize youll need to know a bit about Kingdom Keepers: Shell Game.
Teleflora gets your Mothers Day going with flowers
You can get ahead of the procrastination ball by ordering some spring flowers for your bride now. Wives like flowers, its a universal truth. Another universal truth is that your child will need to have their diaper changed just as youre about to leave the house. However, wives like flowers is a much better universal truth, they also make her happy and smell a whole lot better.
Van Halen concert review, Kool & The Gang and Billy Mack
David Lee Roths appearance was enjoyable, but he forgot the words to many of the songs and his voice was giving out. On many of the songs he simply stopped singing, pantomimed his way out of it or dropped the microphone to his waist. DLR was having fun for sure, but for a concert where tickets started above $150, one should expect fun and professionalism. Eddie Van Halen was obviously having fun, but he didnt stop playing the song or forget any of the chords. One of the refreshing thin [..]
DIY a Stay at Home Dad Can Do: Kill weeds without chemicals
Last year we started cleaning most things inside the house with white vinegar. Add a little dish soap to it, pour it in a spray bottle and its supposed to kill weeds. Most of the organic boards I visited said that white vinegar really works, but takes a couple applications. However, factor in that a gallon of white vinegar costs less than two dollars and if it works, this method is worthwhile.
Democrats declare war on stay at home moms, SAHDs jealous
One issue or instance should not determine how you vote. A person who votes according to one individual issue is an uninformed person whos easily led; and that description goes to those on the right and left.
The Life and Times of a 6 month Old
The 6 month old really enjoys looking at things now. When we read books he sits in my lap now and looks at the pictures with his big brother. He loves going outside and watching the tree limbs move around in the wind. Sometimes when I need a moment to cook or do something Ill put him in the stroller in front of the cats. More Mojo loves looking at anything with colors or that moves. Our cats are white and sleep a lot, but I still think he likes to look at them.
Win $200 in gift cards at the MySears Twitter party on 4/10
You love to shop. You need help shopping. Shopping is a necessity, but youre very efficient at it and want to win some rocking gift cards. Whatever category you fall into youre welcome at the MySears Twitter Party. The MySears Twitter Party is April 10 from 12-1pCT.
The Raid Redemption is a near perfect action movie
The choreography is amazing. If youre familiar with Jackie Chan and how well timed his fights; you will be in awe of what you see in The Raid. If you like Tony Jaa (and are waiting for him to release another movie) you will be highly entertained. Two standouts in The Raid are Iko Uwais and YaYan Ruhian. Uwais plays a cop who cant be bought; while Ruhian is Mad Dog, the main bad guys assassin. Uwais displays many of the characteristics that make Tony Jaa and Chan so entertaining. Much [..]
A tense dad with a bad back tries hot yoga
The instructor was a very fit, brunette, Russian woman who looked like Linda Hamilton from T2. For the first part of the class I tried to keep up. If any of my classmates, or more likely me, made a mistake she quickly called us out and said What are you doing, sit down and watch. Her firm was strict, loud and with a Russian accent. She was Anna Chapman in a leotard out to verbally intimidate lazy inflexible American men with bad backs. Have you ever attended a function where the regula [..]
Tips on adopting a dog into a family with children
If the puppy has short hair and looks anything like a Labrador retriever theyll be a 40 pound dog in two years. Look at the puppys paws. Do their paws look too big for their small body? If they do then the puppy will be a big ole dog in the very near future. Adopting a small dog and adopting a puppy are two different things. Educate yourself before you start the adoption process about what breed is best for you.Thinking about adopting a dog? Any dog that you adopt should be spayed/ne [..]
Sock Ons get a grip on your babys socks
Sock Ons are a simple concept for small baby feet. Its a covering that goes over their little baby feet that keeps their socks on. Its a simple concept and Sock Ons do exactly what their advertised to do. When Toddler Mojo was a wee baby hed consistently kick his socks off once he discovered his feet. We lost more than a couple pairs of socks. Some were common white baby socks, but a couple of them were the more expensive baby socks that look like shoes. Those socks are cute, but it [..]
Mirror Mirror falls short of entertaining, even in fairy tale land
At times Mirror Mirror makes a play for being contemporary and modern, but then immediately retreats back to fairly tale land. Its frustrating because it give you just enough of The Princess Bride or Enchanted to remind you of just how good, and rare, an entertaining PG rated movie is. Julia Roberts accent alternates between British and American. Whats more, she sucks the life out of every scene shes in. I like Roberts, shes a good actress, but here shes totally unbelievable an [..]
Alicia Silverstone feeds her son like a bird, parents call fowl
In her defense she says that her son loves eating from her mouth and will crawl across the room to attack her mouth. However, in the defense of parents Ill say that your son needs to learn how to eat with a spoon. It will help his motor skills, coordination and interpersonal abilities, assuming hes not planning on dating birds when hes older.
The power of H20 and the Water Flosser to clean my teethy grin
You can really feel the water flushing out the gunk between your teeth. That sounds disgusting. But would you rather have the gunk flushed out by water or thrown up into your mouth using string?
Lessons learned from disappointment and country music
Ive always been very lucky to some extent. Of course there were periods where things didnt go my way and I wondered what the heck I was doing. At one point I had recently moved to Key West to accept a radio job. Shortly after moving there the General Manager left town and raided the prize closet, which had air plane tickets and hundreds of other prizes. A couple of weeks after that the owner of the station had the station mail forwarded to his address in Cleveland. I felt like a kid wh [..]
The Brother P-Touch Durability Test: The Sequel & Update
Since that time weve used the Brother P-Touch to create labels for all sorts of childrens related activities. It would be so cool to say that I created labels for my vintage Star Wars collectibles and comic books, but the labels are much more useful for things relating to our toddler. That, plus nobody is getting near my comic book stash. For example today I made a rice dish for teacher appreciation day. On the plastic storage unit I make a quick label, placed it on the lid and should [..]
Disney on Ice: Treasure Trove ticket giveaway at Gwinnett Arena
Disney on Ice presents Treasure Trove, a medley of Disney tales and music all wound up into one magical show on ice. Its a brand new show that will be running at the Gwinnett Arena from March 28 to April 1. All of the Disney princesses will be there, in addition to the newer characters [...]
Dad spends a night in the mancave: Killer Elite
Some say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. If thats the case then Im crazy for Jason Statham. I watch his movies and most of them since The Transporter have been bad. Just when I was about to lump Statham in a pile with all my [...]
John Carter is escapist, sci-fi fun thats good for the family
Guys will like the action. The alien combat sequences are effective, quick and just violent enough to be PG-13. Dejah Thoris. Thats the Princess in the movie and shes played by Lynn Collins. Shes the hottest space Princess since Slave Leah. Dare I say .shes hotter than Slave Leah because Dejah Thoris is also a warrior who kicks butt with a sword. This is a movie that I look forward to seeing again and hope that a sequel is made. Go into the theater with a light mind and John Car [..]
Reasons why companies and brands need to respect Dads
An overwhelming majority of the dads surveyed at least split the grocery shopping evenly with their spouse. For couples that have an oldest child 3-5 only 10% of the respondents dont participate in the grocery shopping. So 90% of the dads with a child in that age group are assisting with the grocery shopping, go dads.
Single parents & what Costa Rica does about deadbeat dads
The language of the bill puts the onus on the mothers by pointing out their unmarried status. Another aspect of the bill that has angered people is the fact that Grothman is neither married nor has children. The wording in Grothmans bill is sloppy, but the goal of his bill is noble. I assume that hes trying to legislate something against deadbeat dads that dont stick around once the baby is born. Costa Rica is way ahead of the U.S. in this department. In 2001 Costa Rica passed t [..]
I dont want to die, but I will and have planned for it
While I would love to say that I started that conversation, it was my wife who started that chat with me shortly before the birth of Toddler Mojo. We sorted out all of the details and properly filed them so that any and all medical situations would be covered in the event of her or my death. In the unlikely event of both of our deaths a close relative will receive Toddler Mojo, More Mojo, the two cats and the two dogs. I can assure that said close relative wants us to live a very, very long t [..]
DIY a stay at home dad can do: Change a door knob
Dont do this job with your toddler around. We started the job with our toddler helping us with his tools. After a couple minutes (when the WD-40 wasnt around) we got really frustrated and had to turn on Bob the Builder for our toddler. In Bobville I would have talking tools to assist me, but in Casa de Mojo it took us two episodes of Bob the Builder, about 22 minutes to do the job.
The life and times of a 5 month old
Any day now hell start rice cereal. Ive never eaten rice cereal that I can remember, but it sounds tasteless and weird. I like rice and I like cereal. Rice cereal sounds like a food that somehow got shipwrecked on the Island of Lost Toys. Its two words that separately are good, but together is like a marriage to J-Lo. Cheese cake is like that too.
The new Van Halen could easily be called 1986-in a good way
With digital being the preferred format, I had gotten used to hearing good singles; and then being disappointed when the complete releases come out. The new Van Halen, A Different Kind of Truth is the opposite. All of the apprehension and minor disappointment I had with the single were counter balanced with how good the entire release is.
Social Media and Issues of Body Image over Good Parenting
In 2010 alone there were close to 219,000 plastic surgeries performed on people between the age of 13 and 19, according the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Some of these were treating acne and scars left by acne on teenagers, while the most common was otoplasty or ear surgery, as ears are fully developed in young childhood.
Act of Valor is an enjoyable, unique, taut action movie
The plot is a big giveaway that this is not your ordinary Hollywood action movie. If the movie were coming from Hollywood the villains would still be Nazis and the hero would realize that were all citizens of the world. The acting was a bit stilted at times, but it was all very real, sometimes feeling like a film class. Did it just seem stilted to me because the lines were being said pretty people? Act of War isnt a character driven movie with lots of dialogue, its action oriented [..]
Huggies Dad Test campaign gets it mostly right
Its great to be recognized. Dads are often un represented in advertising and television. If a dad is represented all too often hes uncaring, aloof or flat out stupid. Real life stay at home dads are guilty of playing into this stereotype too. Sometimes an over the top representation of a dad is funny, sometimes [...]
What to do about sex change operations for children
I dont want to believe that a parent wouldnt love their child just because theyre gay. When I was a teen my mother questioned my sexual orientation once. It was 1984 and I wanted to get a Swatch. "If you get that Swatch then the kids will think you're gay", she said. Had I been a quippy young lad I would've said "Mom, have you seen the Miami Vice pastel jacket I'm wearing to the prom? THAT'S gay, the Swatch is just a cheap, trendy timepiece." I also dont want to believe th [..]
The Secret World of Arrietty is anime that kids will love
The scenery in Arrietty is lush, 3-D and a central character in the movie. At times the background seems to breathe and move on its own, alternating between something that looks like a real picture to one thats partially animated. If the scenery and background in Anime is lush and detailed the people are round, stilted and took some getting used to. The contrast between the detailed background and the characters that were overly simplified did not prove to be distracting. If anything it [..]
My wife is a better mom, but Im a better dad
Our two and a half year old goes to pre-school 2 days a week. Sometimes when I pick him up Ill arrive 10 minutes early so I can watch him play with the other kids. It brings a smile to your face to watch your child play when they dont know that youre watching them. I used to do the same thing when our dogs would go to doggie daycare. With children its easier to do because they all of them dont rush the fences, plus their sense of smell isnt as good as dogs.
