About one out of every 100 kids suffers from phobia of costumed characters. Typically, the fear is rooted in a sense that some harm or danger is going to come from this thing they do not understand. Image credit: stockxpert From Live Science: The pitter-patter of little feet running from door to door this Halloween, dressed to the nines in their creepiest costumes sounds, like good old-fashioned fun....

In fact, the reason I haven't written about it until now is that every time I get ready, I decide a little more "research" is in order, and I find myself on another Skee-bender. It's...

If you think about it, the obstructionists on the issue of health care are not the Republicans, they're the Democrats. Honest. We hold legitimate margins in both chambers, plus the White House. Not to mention 28 or 50 Governors' mansions, the state senate in 27 states, the state assemblies in 32 states, and both houses in 17 of those states. Here's the analogy: mom and dad are in the front seat of...

I have been offline the entire day. I didn't hear my alarm go off so I slept through it. What makes it so bad is that I was awake at 5 something and 6 something. I was able to sleep late because the children were still with their father, but I had planned to get up, do some yoga, shower, dress and eat before they arrived with hopefully enough time to get some work done. Didn't happen. When I finally...

Caitlyn turned six last Thursday and she had such a fun birthday! She had requested french toast for breakfast so I made a delicious french toast casserole that I'd made once for Kristen's baptism. (I'd link to it, but the blog on which I'd found it seems to have been deleted!) It was so yummy! We had eggnog, too, one of our favorite treats this time of year! After breakfast she wanted to open presents,...

Yamaha's HRP-4C robot, best known for having pervs take pictures of its ass and modeling wedding dresses , can now sing song requests sent to it via iPhone . Impressive, Yamaha. I mean, if I DIDN'T SEE MORE IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY AT CHUCK E CHEESE'S 20 YEARS AGO . Oooooh, burn! Seriously -- this thing, with fire.

Filed under: Food and Drink , North America , United States No doubt about it, driving long distances with children can be a real drag--the constant potty breaks, the fighting in the back seat, and the high-pitched pleas to go to some kiddie restaurant like Chuck E. Cheese's. Don't despair. You may be a parent, but you're still in charge. Go where you want to go. Go to Hooters, even. Because Hooters,...

Nolan Bushnell has always been a man slightly ahead of his time. After co-founding Atari in 1972 -- and some might say the video game industry as a whole -- he was forced from the company just before it became a multi-billion dollar business. He followed that up by launching the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant chain, but again left the company in the mid-'80s over a disagreement with management. (There...
