    So my daughter comes home from school crying. Send in the big brother?

    There was a bullying incident at my daughter's school this week. A grade 7 girl was being harassed during lunch by a boy...the girl is heavy, and black. Both were things this boy was making noise about. It went on for about three minutes, according to my daughter, and then the boy started...

    I would love to have one - I have several friends who have one, and they use it to great effect - but I just can't justify the cost. Holy crap, those things are salty. As for freezing fruit, we freeze so much fruit, it's crazy. Make smoothies, sauces, and ice cream all year long with our...

    He's actually on the smallest possible dose of two, one of them being Strattera. You're right, it's a non-stimulant, and not an appetite suppressant, but it was also not sufficient to be the lone drug. What it does do is prevent the crash when the other medication wears off, turning my child...

    His doctor isn't too worried, but says it is time to push this diet and get him gaining weight. So, we're proceeding in that way. He does love pepperoni. We got him some beef jerky, and that seems to be a winner. Good thought, thanks!

    He's incredibly active, plays hockey several times a week, for example, and he has energy. I'm making him out to be a really fussy eater, and he isn't. He eats veg and all that, just so little of it, that it's not sufficient. He takes a couple bites and says he's stuffed. I think meds are a...

    He's a weird kid. Doesn't like sweets, doesn't like ketchup, and absolutely loathes any kind of nut. Peanut Butter is a most hated substance. You're all beginning to understand the difficulty, here.

    Yeah, we're working on the milkshake angle. Trouble is, he got my tastes, and I don't like sweet foods like ice cream, whipped cream, or milk shake type things. He is drinking the Carnation chocolate/vanilla milk things, so we're trying to introduce fruit, heavy cream, and protein powder into...

    You are the greater person. Time to falcon punch her in the lunch and see if it improves. Seriously, though, if she's good eating boring stuff, makes it easy to prepare. Hurry for satisfaction, I guess?

    Wow, that's really odd. She makes something new and unique for lunch every day, when last night's supper left overs are staring her in the face, saying, "eat me, bitch, you know you loved me."? I always try to make enough that at least me and my wife have leftovers for lunch the next day...

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    Yeah, I'm sorry, but I think that's bullshit. That's the argument people who make the decision not to vaccinate their children. Sorry, that's not okay. It has an impact on others. There is a reason we have some laws, there is a reason why common sense dictate some things. You can choose...

    I had a Hardees burger yesterday out of necessity. I have never enjoyed their food, but it was the only thing available for hours, and the kids needed some calories, so we had one. I'll be jiggered if I didn't really enjoy that burger in all its vast greasiness. The patty was actually good...

    I was in a La Creuset outlet store today. The roasting pans were on sale for 599$. I looked at the sales person, and told her to fuck herself. No, but seriously, that shit is so overpriced. It's amazing.

    It's not an attack. Not in the least. The truth is that we have friends who would likely fill a similar profile to you. We spend time at these friends places. We bring kids, so we bring things for the kids to do. We don't expect you to be the ultimate child entertainer, we expect you to be...

    Except you missed the part where we interact a lot with people who don't have kids, and we do it successfully. That includes having them here, and going there. Training kids to not be little shits when visiting at people's place who don't have kids is pretty basic training. I'd invite you if...

    I like your attitude, man. They have likely done everything they can, and the buddy of the day thing is a good thing. Encourage the teachers, because they only want the best for your child. Their hands are largely tied for things of this sort. But keep on top of it. If bullying persists...

    I really do prefer Tim Horton donuts. They're more like cake than just sugary stuff. You rely more on toppings for the sweet flavours, There's a real difference between the varieties of donuts that way.
