Philbo We don't have a couch anymore so the point is a little moot. I did find that in the past a good firm couch seven or eight feet long was more comfortable than a bed. My wife keeps my back warm though and I am prone to getting bad muscle tension headaches when I...

Where were your kids last night at midnight?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85139) • Shingle Springs, California 7 Nov 09

Last night we went out for dinner and to the casino. We came home and I got on my friend Michael's radio show. He plays a lot of what my father-in-law called loud, rotten music, not really my type of music, but I like the company....

Philbo My kids were all cozy in their beds where they were supposed to be. I made sure of it myself. I know a lot of people who let their kids stay up and out until all hours. I don't understand that way of thinking. I've never seen it lead anywhere good. Hope you...

Philbo Ouch. I've been there. I have had two kidney stones lifetime and they really do hurt a bunch. Depending on the type of stone they can sometimes smash them to bits with ultra sonic waves. Been there. It isn't a whole lot of fun either. Google something called...

Philbo I sympathize. I look significantly younger than I actually am and while that is great it is really irritating to be treated as too young and too experienced to be good for anything. I didn't like being treated like a kid when I was a kid. Now it's getting...

Why The Financial Stereotypes About Marriage?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 31 Oct 09

Why do people automatically assume that just because two people get married, they are going to be able to support eachother financially? My husband and I have been married a little over 2 years, but our situation is different....

Philbo I understand where you are coming from. I am Canadian as well and the people who decide whether you get disability here or not are very difficult to work with. Most people will agree that to manage here you need to have two incomes. My wife has osteoarthritis...

Philbo I am from Canada as well. There was a young girl in the area who died of from the H1N1 virus. A high percentage of people where I work are wearing the masks. I am not one of them at this point. They are a little scarce in the stores here right now. A lot of...

Philbo If the snow conditions are right, we build snowmen and snow forts. We might challenge someone else to a good old fashioned snowball fight. When we're all played out we go in for hot chocolate.

Philbo Lakers are good no doubt but they'll get plenty of competition. I root for the Raptors but I expect the real challenge to the Lakers from the east will be someone else. The Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic are all strong. Cavs got off to a rocky start and I was...

Philbo I've always been aware of how dangerous it is without a hands free device and will not use a cellphone while driving. It only became illegal in this part of the country this past week. People have died doing this. It is very serious.

Have you ever had a mean or unprofessional boss?

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 28 Oct 09

Philbo Most women would be hurt by this statement from the one they love. Guys there is a lesson here. Don't compare the one you love to others publicly. It's a no win situation. I think my wife is beautiful. I don't have to qualify that. I don't have to say more. Is...

Philbo I answered your discussion but not to worry. I double checked before changing our clocks and realized we are a week later on that. The extra notice isn't going to waste. At least this time around I'm aware.

Death to Immunizations!

Netsbridge @Netsbridge (3253) • United States 25 Oct 09

Immunizations (immunity vaccinations) are nothing but outright poisons! Like antibiotics, immunizations weaken your body’s defense system and eventually make it difficult for your body’s defense system to be able to resist...
