  • Letting Your Child Win

    The other day I was playing connect the dots with my 9 year old.

    I did not play easy on her.  I figured she would learn if I played my best against her.
    I coached chess competitively for a few years.  I would not let up on my boys when they were 4 and 5 years old.  One of my boys ranked nationally in his age group.  One of my sons won a state championship at a very early age.
    When I play basketball against my sons, I try to win.  
    Should a parent go easy on their child while playing a game?
                      
                                                                                              

  • Thinking About Your Ex

    It is interesting that so many people think about someone who is their ex.

    I have read posts on xanga where people were thinking about their ex years after they were married.
    You have read the posts.  They wonder how they are doing.  They wonder what could have been.
    Which ex do you think about the most?
                                                                                            

  • Swimsuit Ready

    It is now April 7, 2013 and it is time to get in shape.  Swimming season is just around the corner.  I am trying to get into shape and I will post my photo when I get my abs of steel.

    Are you swimsuit ready?
                          
                                                                 

  • Tired After Sex

    Firetyger asked on her site what people did to fall asleep at night.  I mentioned “sex.”  

    She mentioned that sex energized her which is what happens to my wife.
    Perhaps men just get tired and women get energized by sex.
    Does sex energize you or make you want to sleep?
                                                                                                                     

  • Plan B For 13 Year Olds

    A federal judge has ordered that the morning-after pill be made available for all women of any age.  This would include girls under 17.  Here is the link:  Link
     
    A 13 year old girl would be able to walk into a store and get Plan B without a prescription.
    Should a 13-year-old have access to Plan B?
                          
                                  

  • I Need a Degree To Work at McDonald’s

    A McDonald’s job posting received some attention when it required a college degree in order for the applicant to get hired as a cashier.  

    It was reported that the job posting was an error but it started a discussion.  Here is the link:  Link
    Some people are complaining that it takes a college degree to get a good job.
    Do you think you need a degree to get a good job?
                                                                 

  • Why You Probably Suck at Sex

    I was just reading an article titled “Why you probably suck at Sex” and there were reasons why people thought their sex life was not good.

    Some might blame a conservative raising.  Others might blame porn and unrealistic expectations.  Here is the link:  Link
    Do you consider yourself good at sex?
                                                                 

  • Gay By Choice or By Birth?

    Recently a group of people were sitting around and one person said that they believed that people were gay by choice.  Another suggested that people were born gay.

    The person that thought people were gay by choice said that most people that were gay had tough childhoods and were often molested as children.
    Do you think gay people are born gay or gay by choice?
                                      
                                   

  • Break a Leg

    Basketball player Kevin Ware broke his leg in half on national TV.

    It protruded through the leg.  You could see other basketball players looking the other way and crying.
    In eight grade, I broke a kid’s leg in half while playing football.  I sat there with him and looked at it until help arrived.  But here you had college age basketball players looking the other way and walking away from their teammate.
    If someone broke his/her leg in half, would you look the other way?
                          
                                                 

  • Why Men Go For Women On Xanga

    I was reading Coolmonkey’s site and he posted about an article of a Princeton mom who told women they should find a guy while still at Princeton because men do not like women who are smarter than them.  Here is the link:  Link

    She wrote, “Men regularly marry women who are younger, less intelligent, less educated.”
    I am thinking that some women play dumb in order to get men.
    Ladies, have you ever played dumb to get a guy to like you?
