Oops. Whose Tea Was That? September 26, 2006 12:56 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeWhen you are sitting at your wife‘s computer watching the children so she can bathe, and you accidentally drink her tall glass of ice tea, do you:
- Refill it from your glass
- Refill it from the pitcher
- Leave it empty so she thinks she finished it
- Blame the toddler
- Draw attention to it with a blog post
Update: Apparently she had taken her tea into the bathroom while implies I must have stepped into the bathroom, been overwhelmed with her beauty, picked up the tea, returned to the computer, and drank it in a spellbound daze.

No Condoms Allowed September 26, 2006 11:34 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Sex, Touchy SubjectsDoes the religious right want to do away with contraception?
Widespread availability of contraception absolutely reduces the number of abortions, as does comprehensive sex education. The Netherlands has the world’s most comprehensive sex education curriculum, offering contraception and pregnancy and STD testing not only freely but anonymously as well. The result: the rate of teen pregnancy in that country is 1/7th the rate of American teens, and so is the rate of abortions among teens.[Source]

Olbermann! Olbermann! Have you listened to Olbermann?! September 26, 2006 8:35 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Politics, Touchy Subjects, United States, VideoI implore you! Take 10 minutes and 31 seconds of your life and listen to Olbermann(WMV and QT). You might just find yourself breaking out of the trance Bush, Instapundit, The Huffington Post, and main stream media has placed upon you. Wake up and save our nation!
The nation’s freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as Al-Qaeda; the nation’s “marketplace of ideas” is being poisoned, by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would’ve quit.[Source - Crooks and Liars]
Btw, some fact checking on the Clinton interview.

Unable to help the children September 26, 2006 8:09 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, SarahI feel sad for my daughter. She is 13 and in the 8th grade. Here that is middle school. Next year she will be in high school. At her bus stop, a high schooler waits for a different bus but sits on the other side of a busy street. Once Sarah’s bus arrives, Sarah crosses that busy street and gets on it. I have given her permission to cross over and socialize with the high schooler. Ok, uncool! But social networking is a terribly important concept to learn for success in life. However, after creating different encouragements for her to meet this high school girl and pointing out some of the benefits, like already knowing an upperclassman when she enters, I gave up.
This morning she was late so I offered her a ride to school. Instead she just wanted a ride to the bus stop. As we approach, there is another girl waiting on the right side of the road. I’m surprised and ask Sarah if she is always here and I get a wishy washy answer about "sometimes." I ask her name and Sarah doesn’t know. I encourage her to find out then Sarah gets out of the car and walks to the left side of the street. I roll down the window and ask, "how will the two of you talk if you are over here?" She replies, "I always wait on the left side of the street."
My wife’s response will be to tell me that she is just a teenage girl and to butt out for a few years. I want to help my shy, obsessive compulsive girl break out of her shell. I know she has her own path to walk and I will let her walk it but I will continue to offer forks in the road, puzzles, challenges, and mind expanding opportunities.
