    Do you hate money? Does money make you miserable?

    Money can be a great thing and can be used to do a lot of good. It can also handcuff a family and cause heartache and stress. A quick look at the Ames real estate market indicates that you can get a nice, 4 bedroom house for about $275K. This is big enough for most families of 6 or less...

    Will Stoops start feeling the heat at Oklahoma soon?

    This talk is pretty much limited to the idiots calling in on the radio shows. I get tired of listening to it down here. I am a huge fan of Stoops. I think he has been great for the program and he's a great guy off the field. He has shown a lot of compassion for some people here in the...

    Oklahoma loses opener to BYU

    There really is no point in playing out the rest of the season here. If you can't win the national title, why bother? Postgame on the radio, the hosts are stating that this game is going to play a key role in the future direction of the program, not just the season. Needless to say, this is a...

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    I suppose it could be, but I'm not sure who would fund that study.

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    This would be VARIABLE Z. I was just referring to some unknown condition. It could be in the child, the handling of the vaccine, preparation of the vaccine, or timing of the administration of the vaccine.

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    All of this is true. Also true is that additional testing of theory is done to identify other potential variables that may moderate or mediate the impact of certain treatments on the outcomes of the test. It is safe to assume that there are moderating variables (i.e. the interaction of Z with...

    Do any other fanbases/players hate Iowa State?

    I can wear my Cyclone gear in Norman and even tell my students at OU that I am a Cyclone and no one feels threatened. If I were a Texas fan, I would keep a bit more silent.

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    Jon - I hope you let Jan in on the fact that we are not at all debating the need for vaccinations. I would really like to see a credible, on-air discussion about the vaccine schedule and parental options regarding the process. Based on the 12 pages here, it is clearly not a product issue...

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    Of course, I was referring to the lack of complete research from the medical community...

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    Jon - You're on the right track. You're not letting others think and decide for you based on incomplete research. In my opinion, a delayed, extended schedule is the safest and best way to vaccinate. We have had nurses look at us like we're nuts, but we have found that they tend to take the...

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    Holy cow! There are a lot of parenting expert here who seem to know a lot about parenting and medicine. I had no idea this was such an educated group. No medical research is proven. It is either supported or not supported in each study - not proven. It is true that the vaccination schedule...

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    Good call. This is our plan, too.

    Vaccinations...what have you done for your kids?

    We have opted to disregard the vaccination schedule. We are vaccinating the kids, but at a MUCH slower rate. The vaccines have been tested and studied and for the most part, found to be harmless, individually. However, the schedule has not been studied to a great extent. Taking the kids in...

    If only we had the $$$$

    Not sure about the nameplates, but they did have 2008 Big 12 Champions on the wall of their locker room (with an asterisk, I think).

    Summer Bedtime

    As evidence of my generosity, bedtime is 7:30 for the 8-year-old and 7:00 for the rest of the gang during the school year.

    Summer Bedtime

    My wife grew up without a bedtime and mine was 8:30 year-round until middle school (even then, I never wanted to stay up past 9:00). Now, I am most productive between 5:30 and 8:00am. My wife would sleep until 10:30 every day if she could. The way I see it, my job is to train my kids and...

    Summer Bedtime

    For those with kids, what time to you call them back inside and get them into bed? My 8-year-old daughter tried to voice her opinion last night and, of course, NO ONE ELSE has a bedtime in the summer. My reply: "You're little brother and sisters do, now get your jammies on." I thought I was...

    Bought a minivan today

    Toyota makes a nice one, too. Congrats on the purchase. We love ours and they are without a doubt, the most practical family vehicle. We tried an SUV a few years ago and I sold it after about 9 months - hated it.
