Let’s begin by doing a short history lesson and questionnaire. Please understand that I am bringing my own family history to this discussion, which means we are covering nearly a century of societal mores. My parents were born in 1915 and 1918, married in the 30’s, and had me in the 50’s. My boys were born in 1993 and 1996. I had my first-born four days after my 40th birthday. A lot has happened during all these decades.

Pastor Drew Sams (DrewSams.com) for “Teen Rap.”
Jodi Okun (College Financial Aids Advisors) for “The Women’s Room.”
This show is loosely based on this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, #Friends and #Politics. We talk friends, politics, college, and Junior Seau.
In this election year, it seems that the discourse is more raw, rough, and angry than ever before. It seems that posturing is taking place among the candidates, of course, but also mainstream media is clearly favoring one candidate/party over another. How does this impact our relationships? Does it impact them?
#DadChat – Thursday, April 26 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. – asked the question that co-host @MackCollier suggested, “Is Social Media Making Us More or Less Social?” If you don’t know Mack, YOU SHOULD! Mack founded and hosts #blogchat, the GrandDaddy of Tweet-Chats. In fact, he is credited with starting the whole TweetChat phenom! Makes sense, ’cause he is a phenom. READ THE TRANSCRIPT!
For this post I easily could have listed 500 or more, as the number of differences between the sexes is vast. Note that I used the word, “Sexes,” rather than gender. I hate the word, “Gender” almost as much as I hate being Politically Correct! So, a disclaimer: If you are a Professor of Women’s Studies you might want to go visit Gloria Steinem’s web site.
Last Thursday’s #DadChat was not only fun, informative, but we had our biggest one yet – a DadChat record – with co-host @CarrieWilkerson: over 26,000,000 MILLION Impressions! Here is the transcript with every tweet and the stats. New column is up – is the secret is out about making money online? Who really is? I open up my veins and expose my plans in this regard! I hope you’re enjoying my I’m NOT That Dad vlogs. The tenth is posted. And, I invite YOU to vlog for us in this invitation. I believe that video blogs – aka vlogs – will be the Next Thing. Check mine out. Try it…
“Letting it all out” takes on a new meaning. When Dad lets one out out, everyone knows it.
