It’s always important for kids to have chores. It helps them learn responsibility. Since my daughter turned 3, I have been giving her small chores to do around the house. Mostly it’s been picking up her toys, keeping her room picked up, and other stuff like that. I’ve quickly found that it’s hard to keep her interested in doing her chores since she’s still young. She gets easily sidetracked. But, I believe that I have found a great solution - My Job Chart. My Job Chart is the free, easy to use, online chore chart and reward system for teaching, organizing and motivating your kids to Save, Share and Spend responsibly. It gives parents the satisfaction of seeing their kids gain the foundation skills of a strong work ethic and financial responsibility. Here’s how it works: You set up an account for your child and assign chores. Each chore you assign has a point value which is awarded to your child as he or she completes each chore. Once enough points have been ...

Amusing Spam
I've been getting a large number of spam comments the past two days. Several of them have been rather amusing. One was written entirely in Japanese kanji and was talking about fake designer handbags. There were a few asking about dealing with spam & hackers with links to blocked sites. A few had links to deleted YouTube videos. And then there is this one: The screen cap is only about a third of it. All total, it is 3,044 words and takes up 11 pages in Word. It is a huge collection of every single spam comment that I have received over the last two days and a few I haven't. As amusing as all these have been, I'm starting to get tired of my inbox getting junked up with comment notification emails. I'm beginning to think that the verify button isn't enough. I may have to turn on the added spam protection/sorter. ...
Wow!!
It looks like everything is up for the most part. I'm still feeling my way around all the WordPress stuff and trying to get everything consolidated down. I'm also going to have to consolidate the categories as well...which is something I've been needing to do. I'll try to get the Related Post and Share buttons back on. May take me a bit though. Oh, for all of you showing up and leaving the ridiculous spam comments...just stop. As funny as some of them unintentionally are, they just make you look bad. EDIT: Gotten some of the stuff back up. Wish I could have some footer columns or something. EDIT #2 (8/18/2012 @ 1:51 AM): I crashed everything then fixed it in a ten minute period. I'm am getting the hell out of the dashboard and going to bed. I've been up to long today. Oh, anybody know how to fix the time on here? ...
