thinking and entertaining video sites

I recently found two sites that have a plethora of interesting videos.

Both have stuff to make your brains say hmmm....

Eskimo Cookies

One of my favourite desserts I loved to make as a kid.

Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of butter
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 2 cups oats
- icing sugar

mix the soft butter with the sugar. Mix well. Add the vanilla, water, and cocoa. Stir. Mix in the oats and stir again. Keep in the fridge overnight. Shape into about 36 small balls about the size of your thumb. roll on icing sugar. Store in the fridge or freezer.

After rolling into balls, roll them a generous amount of icing sugar. They taste better cold for some reason

Things for the kids

I'm getting more and more friends who are parents. I would love to be a parent someday but first I think I need to find a woman that I can tolerate for more than 2 years.

I've gained a few insights and tips from various sources on what are good things to do with your children to get them a head start.

- never lie to them. Always explain things and be patent to them.
- let them paint their room any way they want.
- tell them that when they lie, you can see a line in their tongue (silver tongue)
- they are never too young to know things, just explain it to them in a way they can understand
- Discipline is necessary
- Never give them an inch. Make them pay their own way through.
