Obesity and Our Pets at #PetRap Sunday Fat Weiner All we hear on the news is obesity, Obsesity, and OBESITY. Yes, it’s a problem. We mostly hear about its dangers for us and our children. But, it is also a big – pardon that choice of words – problem for our pets. If we do not feed and exercise them correctly, they will gain weight just as we do. That’s our topic for #PetRap this Sunday, July 14 – right before #blogchat – at 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. PT/8:00 – 9:00 p.m. ET.  C’mon, what is the title of this photo? You know it! – – Fat Cat! Ten2Ten: Salt Lake City to LA #RoadTripTen2Ten! This is a short video documenting our road trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to Los Angeles, California in approximately ten hours. On this road trip, I narrate and bore you with facts and trivia. My wife complains at me for something or another that I’m doing, but I cut most of that out (no one needs to see that). We ended the video portion of the road trip just out of Las Vegas due to the fact that there’s nothing much to see on that leg of the trip. Parent Choice at #DadChat #CollegeCash Double-Header SUMMER PARTY I don’t expect we’ll be this crowded! We are having a LIVE double-header Thursday, July 11th of both #DadChat and @JodiOkun ‘s #CollegeCash. For those that can, you are invited to my house for a PARTY from 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. BBQ, Swim, Drink, Chat, Talk, Engage, and otherwise enjoy our great communities IRL! For details contact @JodiOkun or me. I Get One Kid But Not the Other Kid Click on the comic above to see ALL the great “Because I Said So” comic strips! Any parent that has more than one kid usually recognizes that all children are not the same, regardless of genetics or similar upbringings. Yes, there are The Osmonds and The Jacksons, where musical talent seems to be inherited. The same applies to some sports families. But, I would assert that more often than not, the kids we have are not that similar other than possibly looks, if we’ve had them with the same partners (obviously not counting adoption cases). Instagram Reveals Who We Are
Instagram is one of those new platforms that have been an instant success. Like most new things, I tend to wait and get aboard only when I have to – I’m forced to – or really, when I finally get over my anxiety about learning it. Now, I love using it and I share really important things via the photos I take with my phone. Things such as what I’m eating for breakfast, hundreds of photos of Simon (my dog), and my feet, when I’m napping. Egypt, Scandals, and How to Embarrass Your KidsThursday, July 4, 2013 Featured guests: Special guests Derryck Green and Stacy M. Swimp to talk “Current Events.” Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.” Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, How to Embarrass Your Kids and, more likely, current events in the world since so MUCH is going on, like the goings on in Egypt! Cats vs. Dogs at #PetRap Sunday
It’s the eternal debate. Cats vs. dogs. Are you a cat or a dog person? Sort of like are you are you a Beatles or a Stones person. Let’s have a catfight – or dogfight, if you prefer, this Sunday at #PetRap at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET. I expect some PASSION and some persuasive arguments on both sides. I’ll declare now that I am DEFINITELY a dog dude!
Movie Trivia Contest #1So, this is our first Movie Trivia Contest. I’ll be doing it on an irregular basis. I hope it’s fun for you. I love old movies so mostly we’ll focus on older, classic films. The first ten correct answers will win a PDF copy of either of my books – cover images are below. I’m asking for the Honor System and asking that you not use Google to find the answer. Beyond the correct answer, the ten winners will be determined by what interesting facts about this particular movie they share. |
