It’s become that time again. The boys have begun to want their mom or their dad all to themselves. It happens when we baby-sit a lot or our schedule gets so busy that we haven’t been given the chance to really listen to their stories as well as they’d like. Little brother just seems to want his dad to do everything for him. A few days last week I was told I couldn’t take him to the bus stop because he wanted only bubba to take him. If I have to run to the store little brother chooses to stay home with his dad even if has spent the last two day...

Dear Dr. Per Cap: What about those credit card offers you get when you are at a department store? The ones that promise a discount on your purchase? Is there a trick to them? Someone told me they affect your credit score. ~ Signed, Wondering Dear Wondering: “Apply today and get 10 percent off your purchase.” Sound familiar?

Continued from last week… 6. THINK ABOUT SWITCHING TO SNOW TIRES. Then you might want to improve traction even more by investing in winter tires and using them over the next few months instead of your usual all-season tires. When shopping around for snow tires, ask about all the fees that might come into play, such as fees for mounting and balancing. You can accomplish this easily and make accurate cost comparisons by asking each store for the “out the door charge.” Good snow tires make an incredible difference on a snowy road, but keep in mi...

In all, about 75 kids wearing belts with red flags went through the trail dodging the zombies and several obstacles. The kids had to make it around huge spider webs, through man-made tunnels, under nets and over ropes, and the final obstacle: a high wall the kids had to climb over. While making it through all of these obstacles, zombies popped out of bushes and...
