Nothing wakes you up in the morning quite like stepping blindly into a pile of cat puke.

I’m getting to spend time with my daughter working on her homework. This is extremely rewarding! My work has recently taken me away from my family and I miss the quality time with my children and wife.

Don’t ever be afraid to address your city council March 6, 2012 2:36 pm

Have you ever stood before your city council? Have you ever expressed your ire with a law? Voiced your discontent with a resolution?

This is your First Amendment right demonstrated. Watch. Cringe. And follow James Inman‘s example.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

"Women Happier in Relationships When Men Feel Their Pain"

ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2012) — Men like to know when their wife or girlfriend is happy while women really want the man in their life to know when they are upset, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association.

The study involved a diverse sample of couples and found that men’s and women’s perceptions of their significant other’s empathy, and their abilities to tell when the other is happy or upset, are linked to relationship satisfaction in distinctive ways, according to the article published online in the Journal of Family Psychology.
