On the Daddy Tip #9

Remember Mr Bubble? Every kid wanted some, including me, but my mom made me use dish soap. Yes, ma, I still remember. Thanks. Now that I'm older and have a kid, I understand where she was coming from. Yesterday, I tried to impress my daughter with some snazzy bubble making. It was a success, until the bath was over. I went to pick up my kid and bam!, she slipped out of my arms, hit her head and knocked herself out, stone cold! No, I'm kidding, that didn't happen, yet. What did happen was that it was a pain in the arse to rinse her off. Too much bubbles and they wouldn't go down the drain. Imagine trying to keep a twenty month-old from eating a bathtub full of bubbles with one hand, as you work the faucet with another, rinse with yet another and make sure there are no slips with your last. It's tough. Just ask Qymaen jai Sheelal. So, in order to avoid visits from child services and pesky rebels, read my blog, pay heed to my tips and don't give bubble baths to anyone.

Hell, Who Wouldn't Give a Little Person a Hug?

While perusing some back-posts at Seattle daily photo I came across this pic. Just thought it was a neat photo and clicked on the link about the free hug campaign and thought it was a neat idea. Not that I'd want to hug anybody lurking about in downtown Cleveland.

Good thing I have an HDTV

I have different priorities in my life right now, like trying to move out of Collinwood and saving up for a Gilmour Academy education for my daughter, so cable TV is not too high up on my list of "needs." At least that's what my wife says. Although I do enjoy the occasional TV show, I can live without TV if I need to. Or so I thought. I'm in law enforcement, so anything that can improve the way I communicate with a dispatcher is awesome. Until this morning and the official first day of DTV. Yeah, I just finished doing a channel scan and I'm kinda not impressed with the results. Three digital channels(four if you count Univision) and more useless analog channels than I would like to know exist in the world. I just did a quick flip-through but I swear one of the analog channels was running an info-mercial for the Wunder-Boner. Maybe when my wife sees there will be no TV in our immediate future she'll let me get a PS3. Here's hoping.
