Uh yeah like some of the others said, little girls can be just as bad.

I too know how much stress can be put on a ceiling fan motor and how hairspray can make things ignite...

I can also add a few new things to that list...like the approximate temperature at which slugs will melt. A hot radiator works best. Oh also if you bend a fork in just the right way you can get a pretty good electrical current out of a light socket...hot enough to melt legos. Jumping off the roof of a house and into a trampoline isn't nearly as fun as you might think. When you put over two dozen quarters on a train track when your dad isn't looking, one of them will surely ricochet and shatter the truck window. .

First time I ever got a spanking (as my dad told the story), I had my brother on the ground and he had a bloody nose. I was still in diapers (not quite 2) and my dad had to chase me down the street..I guess I knew I was in trouble.

I realize after what I put my dad through, my kids will probably be 10x worse.

You dads with little girls...just be careful. They aren't always as sweet as they look.

Thanks for the laugh Brandon.

When Jaymi-Lyn was 18 months her brother, my stepson, who was 9 at the time decided that he was going to tease her by sitting next to me and telling her that I was his daddy. Well the first time he said "my daddy" she looked at him and said "no my daddy" he got closer to me and said it again. Jaymi-Lyn yelled at him "no Matt my Daddy" He thought this was funny so he put his head on my shoulder, and told her again "MY Daddy". She got so mad she jumped on him held his head with her left habd and closed fist started punching him with her right. All the while telling him "MY DADDY" with each punch. I was laughing so hard. We still tease Matt that he got beat up by a little girl.


Well good night everyone. It's late, I'm tired and I have to get up early tommorow. My oldest stepson is getting married on Saturday so I have a ton of stuff to do between now and then.

Yea It hasnt been that cold here yet (high 50's) but its still pretty cold at 5am on your way to work.

For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas...

Things I've learned from my Boys (honest and not kidding):
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. House
4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with rollerblades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough,however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words uh oh, it's already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR's do not eject PB sandwiches even though TV commercials showthey do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
25.) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
I will try number 24 as soon as I get the chance...

I have heard about number 4 for quite some time though...

Thats pretty damn funny
My sister who is two year younger than me used to hit me and such, most of the time I would just laugh beacuse she is pretty funny when shes mad...then she figured out what a well placed kick to the groin would do. After that day I figured she was old enough for me to fight back...

Congrats about the stepson Jim

Oh I sure hope your wrong. My daughter is 5 months old today, and I hope she stays as perfect and innocent as she looks.

My company broke ground on a good sized addition today, so that means I'm out in the field a lot. Hard to catch up on the OT. I try to check in as much as I can.

Oh and Chris, all the materials are compliments of BB. Sherri said she wishes you guys still lived in Cali together, and that you guys had a ton of fun.

Scott, I can't wait. No waterparks for me anytime soon, I didn't like those BEFORE I heard the poop story.

He is burning Mp3's too, so there is probably hundreds of songs on there. I'll have to make room on my ipod.

Looks like Justin had some spare time on his hands...

Mr Candidate, can you tell us your views on de-regulating the EPA standards, and bringing the 7.3 Powerstroke back into production? Will there be any tax breaks to owners of this tried and true power plant in the near future, And finally Mr. Candidate, Will there be criminal charges for those that still choose to fix the 6.0 .
