There are some things that would definitely be worse than your wife mowing your grass, like her washing your car, but given the conditions, this could be a good thing too. I guess, having her do that, or this, will change a lot of things. I mean, if my wife was to ask to wash

How do you approach eating out? Or dining out, if you prefer. I am not referring to spending money or where you eat, but what is your modus operandi?
My late grandpa, who we fittingly called Gramps, would walk into a restaurant like he owned the place. Sure, he might look at the menu, but then

In Featured Too, Home and Family, Lifestyle, Personal and Self Improvement by Tim Mallon | 9. Apr 2010 | View Comments

Many times, I weigh the weights of a situation or situations. Do you weigh the weights? What are the weights? Well, we are not going to discuss what the weights actually are, but, they are not physical weights… sorry Terry. The weights are immaterial, they are intangible.
So there you are, in a room full of

Well, if you can find one, keep them locked up under the house somewhere. If we were paid a dollar for everytime we were told that “we would love to watch your kids!” and then “oh I can’t, I have something up that night”. I would be a millionaire.

C.E. (chronic earliness) can effect anyone, but most people who deal with it have been dealing with it for years.
