You would be hard pressed these days to find someone who thinks Comcast is a wonderful, caring, fair company. This company is run by the paranoid arm of the Mafia. I’m just sure of it.

At the end of the 45 minute study, he was presented with a box of toys. He could choose one as his thank you gift. He chose this little toy camera toy that […]
Another installment in my Positive Discipline articles.

I’ve been playing with it a lot, and in many cases, putting it to work. In fact, […]
