My son Josh was scared. You could see it in his little face. Angst was written all over him. His knuckles were as white as his t-shirt. He starred down. "What's up?" I asked with a smile hoping to relieve his fears. "Daddy," he nervously replied, "I'm afraid I'll get Bird Flu!" And this from a seven year old! At breakfast time!! I'm not sure if Josh had heard me talking about Bird Flu or if he heard about it at school. Whatever the case, kids do hear all that is going on around us and need to be helped through their fears before they get a pandemic of the stomach. There are in fact just a few simple things we as parents can do to help our kids work through issues, regardless of the age or gender of...

e been chatting online with Asian ladies off and on for the past 3 years with varying success. Most of the ladies I have talked to come from either the Philippines or Thailand and for the most part – have been sincere. I started out using based on a recommendation from a friend as the place he found his Filipina wife-to-be. I checked it out – registered free – but one cannot really do anything for free – except look around. So, I joined as a cash-paying customer signing up for one year. The price was reasonable - $84 USD per year – so about $7 per month – relatively inexpensive. The girls get to sign up for free. The point here is to attract guys who will pay to...

If you are planning to enter Thailand on vacation, you should find out the best way to bring in money to spend. Some countries are strict when it comes to bringing cash in, and others accept limited forms of payment in many areas. To be on the safe side, it is wise to find out the best ways to make a money transfer to Thailand before you enter the country.

Residents of Thailand use Thai baht as currency, and $1 USD is equal to about 32 baht. Know before you go that tipping is not usually customary at most restaurants, and most people simply leave the change...

All this high tech all around us are claiming easy learning curves.

I was only just getting settled onto the plane when I began to have a sinking feeling that I was in over my head. The voice over the intercom told me in fluent Spanish just how unprepared I was for the journey I was about to embark on, convincing me of what I already felt I knew. My three years of college Spanish were not going to prepare me for a semester in the Republic of Panama. My training in Spanish had earned me a minor, any my LonelyPlanet guide book assured me that English was spoken nearly as widely as Spanish, though I was fairly sure it was overstating just a tad. My school would be in English, but I hadn't yet been assigned a dorm, nor did I know anyone who would be attending. I was...

Table manners are a murky subject. We all remember our mothers telling us *something* over and over at dinner time. "Mets ta main sur la table!" was my Mom's refrain (French for "Put your hand on the table!"). Would a Chinese, Iranian or Nigerian child hear the same thing? In many American homes I've heard, "Chew with your mouth closed," and, "Don't talk with your mouth full." If you asked me what good French table manners encompass, I would probably be able to come up with about a dozen rules. The other 150 I couldn't tell you until I saw you breaking them. What's considered appropriate and polite is ingrained in each of us. It's stored in our subconscious and we don't even know it. The only way we...
