Building a Better Dave

NOT ENTIRELY WORK SAFE

I'm amazed at the generation gap when it comes to college kids. I guess I was weird as I grew up listening to everything. I listen to Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, Harry Belafonte, The Beatles, etc. Today's kids don't know who Fleetwood Mac is. Oh, I'm sorry I mean "The Fleetwood Mac."

I HATE THE DOORS (I believe this is part II on this subject). I couldn't do enough drugs for this to be good.

The dumbing of America, Teen Pregnancy is now invading my life. I share my thoughts on the subject and what is possibly some of the reasons.

Parents still bitter from a divorce want to prove they are the "cooler" parent and in the process throw their child under the bus.

Children know that their parents feel bad about the divorce and play on this guilt to get everything they want. I am entitled to this because you screwed up my life by divorcing my other parent. We end up with a society that thinks they get to do whatever they want.

There are consequences. There ARE consequences. Yes, it is your fault. No deal with it.

Quit using your kids as a weapon, and quit playing your parents against each other.

NOT WORK SAFE

For some people, it was the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. While I grew up watching Glen Campbell, and Tom Jones on TV. I had my Bachman Turner Overdrive albums, but I walked into my brother's room one day and he had put on Wang Dang Sweet Poontang from the Album

Missing the days of comforters and hot chocolate. The joys of living out of a suitcase are slowly eroding my attitude. We take for granted that "Ahhhhh..." feeling of walking into our homes. Until you don't have one (or at least one that is truly yours, where you can put some roots down...)

I really hesitated putting out this (and a few other) episodes as they've all been kind of "downers" so I put this out for anyone else who might not be feeling as "Up" as they would like to say "Hey you're not the only one." Hang in there. If it weren't for Mountains we'd never have to learn how to climb.

P.S. I also know its October and Not August (I need a nap)...

I heard about this and I thought, "This is a joke." However, it is real.

Then when I read about it at www.dietfacts.com I was blown away.

I mean if you feed this to your kids is it breakfast, a snack, or child abuse?

Only in America.

OK, I just saw a Charmin commercial and we now have Soft and Strong toilet paper. STOP THE MADNESS. have you been down the frozen pizza aisle lately?

I lost my organizer. Read that again.

Kids get good grades so you can get a scholarship. Parents start saving for college now. I'm unemployed and yet somehow still make too much money. I love our country.

Look if your kid can't read the menu - LEAVE THEM HOME.

That's what Babysitters and grandparents are for!

I'm tired of dodging forks during my dinner. Besides your actions are increasing the divorce rate. Would it be too much to ask that you do NOT set your children on fire until you get home?

Is life over at 50? If you didn't have sex when you were dating the first 10 years of marriage are bearable, so you have something to do. If you're already discovered each other, then this crying child makes you cranky.

You chose to have the kid - accept the responsibility and STAY HOME. There is a place for unruly children. It's called the laundromat.

Teenage boys can be stupid. I talk about a tale that happened right in front of my face, and why I use books to lie to myself. Website is www.betterdave.com
