    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    People who send their kids to undergrad private schools without scholarships are crazy. Even if your kids want to go on to graduate school, where you do your undergrad isn't a big consideration. Do well in your undergrad at a state school, your options are wide open. And then you can come out of...

    You just won $1.6 billion!

    Well, I'd hire the best financial person I could find before picking up the winnings. Have them get things right - someone who knows what the heck they are doing. That has to be the first thing. I already have a financial person, but I'd need someone on another level. Once that is set up, I'd...

    If someone slapped my ten year old, I'd likely go ballistic. However, it's a whole lot more likely that I'd have taken care of the situation long before anyone else felt the need to slap my kid. THAT is the difference. It's called parenting. If your kid is being a shit, take care of it. All...

    I've had a similar situation. A close friend went through a divorce, and his son (who was nine when the divorce happened) turned into an absolute bastard jackass motherfucking jerk. I don't typically talk that way of kids, but this kid was just an asshole. I understand that he went through...

    Aquarists unite: fish are friends, and food

    We've got a thirty gallon tank with two angel fish and two koi. They have been in the tank for four years. They are all huge - Next spring the koi are going in the pond I'm making by our deck. Not sure what to do with the angel fish, might keep the tank going. These fish are jerks. They won't...

    Dude, I have an undergraduate with majors in music and history, and minors in English and philosophy. A masters in systematic musicology, a Ph.D. in musicology, and a D.M.A. in conducting.

    There's always a port-a-pit chicken fundraiser happening somewhere in our town every weekend. I often grab a chicken or two, and the smoked, rotisserie goodness is awesome. Great for on salads, but also great to make chicken salad and have for sandwiches.

    That's calcium/hard water build up. No question. The vinegar is going to loosen it up, but not dissolve nuggets like that. Soak it in vinegar, then rinse it out. Perfect job of taking care of hard water issues in your shower head.
