Thanks for the lead to this unique feed reader. I'm a little spacially challenged, so it was a little difficult to follow at first. After a few minutes, though, I got the hang of it, and it was pretty cool! Appreciate it! -Jeremy @ Discovering Dad

Re: When the Dollar was Good as Gold

Here's another thought to consider with regard to gold and the dollar. Was it necessary to abandon the gold standard when the U.S. economy grew to the point it did in the early 70s?

I was totally against her getting a cell phone in the beginning because I was afraid that she wouldn't do her homework. We have rules for when she can't use it, but other than that it's glued to her thumbs.

Thanks Corvida! 160 characters? It's hard to tell how many she enters when her thumbs are moving faster than the speed of light:)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Rich. I agree that the video does a good job of describing the problem, but it does not suggest much in the way of a solution. I was hoping you might have the answers!?!

Dude, you're lucky! I miss the days of no allergies. Also, I'd give up just about anything for myself to go to Football games. There's just nothing like being there, especially for big games.

You're probably right Ashley. I am still INSANELY allergic to cats, so you're fortunate as well to have gotten over that one. Lucky for me, I'm not allergic to my kids:-)

Absolutely Amy! I especially appreciate Chuck's honest and genuine writing style. He has a lot of great experiences to share!

Thanks Tyler! I agree - I learn something new from every dad featured in the series. Chuck has a ton of experiences similar to my life, and I always enjoy reading his posts and thoughts. Thanks for the positive reinforcement on the commenting system too - I was beginning to wonder, as they have dropped off some thing weekend.

Yeah, I would definitely recommend reading his blog posts. He has a wealth of experience.

Thanks Jason! I think you have to strive for both - they are both wonderfully inescapable, unlike other things in life.

Thanks Cory. I hope I can set as good an example as my parents did for me.

OK, but you'll have to sign a waiver. I'm allergic to cats, so I can't be held responsible if I sneeze and shave a tail off or something.

Yes, I see that you are still the most popular search on the site! Oh, by the way, saw the potty training video - I'll have to get some pointers from you on that one.

Thanks Derek! I agree that all of these roles are interconnected. I think it's important to try and be the "best" me in life, and it will manifest itself in every role. I liked your post the other day about values, and I think they play a major part in succeeding as a husband and dad too.

Thanks Lin! I agree that it is an incremental learning process. We make mistakes and do things right. We learn from both, and then we apply it to future actions. Balance is definitely a challenge though, for me anyway.

Great! Tell him to leave a comment with what he thinks too. I'm interested in what he has to say.
