My two teen/preteen boys are shoe-obsessed. Pretty much the only thing on their Christmas lists was shoes. One of the big asks on my 10-year-old's list was a custom pair of NikeID shoes. He convinced his grandma to get those for him, so earlier in December he started  designing them to get them...

A few weeks ago I bought a few of those plain, silicone c##k rings.  Just black, smooth rubber,,,nothing fancy. Last night as we're getting ready for bed, one of them is on my side of the counter in the bathroom.  I picked it up to put it in the drawer, and this happens: Mrs. Karpis: "Why are...

I've coached youth baseball for the past 5-6 years. I've probably mentioned before that I have two boys (now 11 and 9) that play rec league ball in the spring and then play all-stars in the summer through the Cal Ripken organization.  I've had an amazing stretch of having great...

Got into this weekend and it's everywhere.  Ankles, knees, arms, shoulder, top of my ear, side of my nose, shins, penis, and anu$. Got a steroid shot this morning at the walk-in clinic.  Did not disclose to the nurse that it was on my private areas. Itching like a sumbit$h.

What a bunch of crap. Notified of this new "trial" data cap after I switched to them. Garbage company.

I have a small workshop off of my garage. It's probably 10' x 15'...the door to the workshop is inside the garage, no windows, not heated and cooled. Currently, it is used for tools, storage for various outdoor crap, Christmas lights, etc. I would really like to clean it out and used it for a...

Taking Mrs. Karpis on a work trip to Philadelphia in a few months. We're going to take a train to NYC and stay there for 2 nights at the end of the trip. For a first time visitor, what would be the best neighborhood to stay in for a short trip just trying to get a taste of the city?

Anyone looked into this?

A small group of guys go on a Fri - Sunday trip once a year. We usually do college football, but I'm pushing to do something different this year. Maybe golf, fishing, bourbon trail...something like that....and also possibly pushing it to a bit longer of a trip. You guys got any ideas? Most...

I was in a wreck a few months back...fault of the other driver. I filed a claim on his insurance, and they took care of all repair costs, rentals, etc. Cost of repair was approx. $3500. Following the repairs, I sent the repair invoice to my county assessor and asked them to take the wreck...

Mrs. Karpis and 4 of her best friends are all turning 40 in 2015. The text message just came around last night about a girls' trip to Mexico at some big swanky all-inclusive.... What should I start hiding?

Over the years Mrs. Karpis has done a lion's share of the cooking. I grill, do breakfast, fix chili every now and then, but she does the real cooking. I want to nail down 5 dishes that could become, for lack of a better word, my "signature" dishes. Something the kids would think back to when...

Sitting here with a well-polished bag and a valium. You know what day it is.

I may regret this, but Mrs. Karpis and I have decided to forego our annual, paid-for-by-my-parents, summer beach trip. Instead, we're borrowing her parents' RV and heading out west to show the kids something different. Our kids are 12, 9 and 6, and we don't want them to grow up and move away...

Trying to recover from one of the worst bouts of the stomach virus I've ever had. Last night was the annual Sugar Plum Ball...a big father-daughter dance to support a local organization. It's a huge event in our city...hundreds of dads/daughters attend...tickets sell out really quickly. Last...

I was sound asleep in my bedroom at 3 a.m. this morning when something roused me. Not aroused me. Roused me. It was very faint...not loud enough to even fully wake me up at first. I drifted in and out of sleep for several minutes, but I sensed a disturbance in the force. Finally, I came to...

I have a work trip coming up. I decided to make a 3-night mini-trip out of it, so wife is coming along. We don't travel that often, so these little extended weekends get her jazzed up. In the course of looking for somewhere to stay, I check out some B&Bs in addition to the normal hotel...
