Ode to live in Georgia where there’s always an interesting parenting story going on. The latest is a Chuntera Napier, the mother to a 10 year old who allowed him to get a tattoo that had his deceased brother’s jersey number. If 10 seems a bit young to get a tattoo then you’re right, it’s against the law and defies all common sense that a parent would allow it.

When you live on your own, watching TV is possibly the easiest thing in the world. Not only does it require no effort, but you don’t have to share it with anybody, not that I’m bad with sharing or anything. I like to watch TV, so when I was approached by Satellite TV to write a post on it and the family it was a natural fit. On your own, the TV is 100% your domain and you’re free to watch any shows or movies you want to. That’s one reason why I like doing the Mancave movies so much; I don’t have to worry about whether they are enjoyable or appropriate for anyone else. Continue reading Satellite TV, the family and valuable Mancave time
After much procrastination I finally got my physical, PSA test and prostate screening done the other week. A couple of years ago I drove north about 30 minutes to receive a free prostate screening. It was a cold, rainy day, there was a small line and I was lazy, so I left and waited three years to get a prostate screening. Continue reading Free Prostate Screenings this Weekend in Atlanta
In Norcross, Georgia a government (public) school issued math homework to some of the third graders. Unfortunately some of these word problems incorporated slavery lessons that they were being taught about in social studies. “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in 1 week”, is an example that the kids took home with them. Continue reading The ‘slave math lesson’ in Georgia and what’s missing
Congratulations go out to Jay Z and Beyonce who welcomed their first child into the world. Congratulation also goes out to them for joining other (mainly) celebrities who’ve given their child a bizarre, potentially punitive name. Continue reading Blue Ivy and other bizarre baby names
Three months deep and More Mojo is running like clockwork. By now our 12-week old is wearing size 1 diapers-but will soon start cloth diapers and is really starting settle into a normal life, albeit at 1/16 scale. Continue reading The Life and Times of a 12-week old
Toddler Mojo loves the iPad. When he was younger, i.e., more controllable, he’d sit in my lap and go through some of the learning apps for children. Now that he’s 27 month old, he’s well into being a toddler and wants to control anything and everything. With the iPad, that doesn’t work out so well; it’s expensive and it might frustrate the toddler mind which would then cause Hulk like rage and the throwing of expensive electronics. Continue reading LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers
As Toddler Mojo got bigger and bigger, our traditional TV, the 200 pound albatross in our living room started to get in the way. He’d unplug the TV, turn it on or off and then change the channel from 3 to 4 which meant that I had to go into the settings to get it to work again.
