I’ve decided to walk into very dangerous waters. It’s not that I haven’t done it before, especially when I “took on” the Occupy movement! That generated a LOT of comments and a whole lotta controversy. Taking on those “protesters” is easy in comparison with takin’ on the moms; specifically mom bloggers!
How do you use the short space allowed to describe yourself in your Twitter bio? I believe a Twitter bio reveals a lot. Mine is below and let’s analyze it first, before I break apart others.
Opposite Sex friends are a complicated issue. If you’re single, no big deal (presumably). If you’re married? Opposite sex friends are maybe a big deal. Risks of infidelity abound. My friend Sharon shared her story in The Risks of Opposite Sex Friends, a recent column of mine. If you want “Extra Credit,” read it before we tackle this topic on Thursday, March 8 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., PST. That 9:00 p.m. ET!

The #DadChat Tweet Chat – For Anyone Who Is a Parent or Was a Child!
All future DadChat topics and details will be posted on its own page. Following are some of the highlights of recent chats and further down, a more general overview and suggestions/tips for joining in.
#DadChat on Thursday, November 10, at 6:00 – 7:00 p.m, PST was about Sex and Our Kids. We also had two charity auctions for OUR troops and raised over $500. #DadChat, as far as I know, is the first and ONLY Tweet Chat to do charity auctions!
NOTE: My original article on our new #aDadsPov Tweet Chat got corrupted and we lost all the Disqus info – it was “My Bad” so here’s the reconstituted article with updates and all the info you need to join us on Thursdays, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., PST using the hashtag, #aDadsPov.
UPDATE: The topic for our next chat, on Thursday, May 19 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m., PST will be “Step-Parents and Boundaries” – required reading will be posted on Tuesday! Our chat on May 12 was on the affect popular culture, specifically Movies and TV, has on our kids — and us, for that matter! The participants are in the “cloud” above! The required reading was, “Why Do They Like the Scariest Horror Movies?” @Moondustwriter won the giveaway – my forthcoming book (A Dad’s Point-of-View: We ARE Half the Equation) and its companion poster (18″ X 24″ – see image below). There will be a giveaway of the book and poster each chat until Father’s Day! (You will be “tested” to win…lol)!
