January 8, 2013 I have a friend who is a teacher and they were recently talking about school policies and restrictions regarding students and social media.
January 4, 2013 Yesterday, I was leaving home after lunch and I saw a woman dragging her dead Chrstimas Tree from her house to the vacant lot next door. C'mawn! NOT cool! Biodegradable or not, you can't dump your stuff on someone else's property, not to mention in borad daylight
January 3, 2013 The mail in this picture is mail that was intended for one of my neighbors. Each pile represents a single house... So basically, we received mail that was intended for three different houses on our block.
December 28, 2012 Did you hear that the ceramic sheep from the Twin Falls nativity scene are missing?
Don't you think this was probably the work of some high school kids playing a stupid prank?
December 26, 2012 I'm not sure how the money flows at your place but things are a little tight at my house, just after Christmas.
You have to bounce back from the overspending somehow, right?
I think that guys are better at sticking to the budget
December 20, 2012 If you like to watch Discovery Channel as I do, you might find yourself catching shows about Christmas and whether or not there's any scientific basis to the story of Christmas.
December 19, 2012 I have a friend who's daughter is a college Freshman and she'd like to bring her boyfriend home to meet the parents.
I feel for the guy. I have a daughter and while I have several years before this will ever be an issue, I can't help but put myself in his shoes
December 14, 2012 I'm sorry if they headline shocks you and if what you are about to read offends. That's not my intention. I am told by the company I work for that I'm supposed to share what I think with you and I would do you a disservice to be anything less than honest.
December 13, 2012 Most full time employees have about a week of sick days they can use throughout the year for "unplanned personal leave." And most of us wind up with a surplus come December. Assuming you're in a "use it or lose it" situation, do you take the time and call in sick?

December 13, 2012 Recently Brad posted a thoughtful article on the dangers of keeping your kids' safe online. His concerns were sparked by a recent study by the Federal Trade Commission that found that most mobile apps for kids are secretly collecting data from their smartphones. Scary, right?
Brad, arguably my arch-nemesis tech geek in the building, surmised that the only true way to keep your kids safe online was to completely unplug and get off the grid. Unfortunately, unless you're Amish, I don't think that's going to cut it with your kids.
But there is a way to keep your kids safe.
December 11, 2012 There are so many things wrong with this, I'm not sure where to begin. Two boys, ages 7 and 11 were picked up by police in Portland, Oregon after they allegedly tried to carjack a 22-year-old woman with a LOADED .22 handgun.
The woman was picking up her parents at a church when the boys approached the car
December 11, 2012 A recent study from the Federal Trade Commission has found that most mobile apps for kids are secretly collecting data from their smartphones. Depending on the App, the type of data that's being collected is everything from behavior, web browsing habits to phone numbers, GPS location and device ID's.
