A first rule of thumb is to use proper judgment when selecting a nickname that you will use in NHL:1. Avoid using any rude or inappropriate names, as this will only cause others in the room to ignore you. Instead, use a name that best describes yourself to others... i.e Forever_Frantic, Screamingheadtrip or Outovcontroll. You should use an ID that will arouse the interest or curiosity of other chatters. These IDs are generally created by the elite of the room, known as Sonners who are the life blood of NHL:1. Most ID attempts made by chat scrap, who are hoping to fit in with the elite, are generally lame and ineffectual. Chat scrap end up reverting back to their old IDs like Cck2ca, lllxxx_king_of_kings_xxxlll, or Flyereddie48. Oz is trying to attract gullible bimbo's with "king" status when he's really more like a queen. Eddie is trying to portray himself as a pilot to attract lonely fat chicks and not a Pepsi vending machine stocker. And with Chris... Caresses Cock Kindly... which is all I can get out of that ID, is obviously trying to attract the homosexuals of NHL:1.
Many of you are in need of an ID change... FACT!
Welcome back, for those of you that just created a new ID.
Now that you have hopefully created a new ID and are ready to chat again, there are some proper greetings you should know about in order to initiate a conversation. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to use a simple, pleasant greeting, such as “Hi Everyone”, or “Good Evening”. If this fails to catch anyone’s attention, you could attempt to address a particular member with a "loser" smiley or a "roflmao" smiley. The person you are addressing will usually respond after that, thus launching your chat interaction. Most likely you have just inherited the name "Dean" and are about to temporarily lose IQ points as you continue chatting with this "particular member"... who we will refer to as Cck2ca... who isn't necessarily the brightest star in the sky. Cck2ca likes to refer to all those that use the "loser" and "roflmao" smiley's as Dean, so I think it's only fair that we refer to all idiot's as Cck2ca. Then again, Duecey is the same way, so all idiots will now be referred to as Cck2ca's and Duecey's.
Many chatters in NHL:1 like Cck2ca or Duecey, tend to let their guard down and may try and insult or verbally abuse you just for sake of conversation. In fact, there are many instances where someone will enter the chat room just to annoy others in this way for the same reason. While your instinct is to fire back in the same manner, try to restrain from doing so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. In Cck2ca's case, ignore is out of the question. If you are anything like Cck2ca or Duecey, you probably need the attention and enjoy the embarrassment.
If a verbal sparring is the result of a disagreement with a Cck2ca, or a Flyeriddie48, try to remedy the situation by politely talking it over together... preferably in PM. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the room and the civil conversations they may be having. If you find you are in the wrong, be sure to promptly correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. Most likely though, with the likes of a Cck2ca or Flyereddie48, they will continue rambling though they have been sonned and apologized to. They are just out to impress their boss in Oz and hoping to remain in his Fantasy Hockey League. Or as some would say... basically kissing his ass.
Here are some other tips to follow when chatting in NHL:1. Please welcome and respect any newcomers that are entering for the first time. Don't be like Cck2ca and call them a newbie, or to STFU and to GTFO because you are afraid he/she will take over your online friends it took you months, if not years to make. Offer advice to the newcomers when asked, as they may not be sure what to do or how to converse. Better yet, let the Sonners give advice, as they have the ability to weed out chat scrap and see the qualities in a chatter that could warrant them a permanent chair in the room. With the likes of Cck2ca, Flyereddie48, and Oz giving advice, we have nothing but a room full of Pixie's, Boltsgirls, and Costergirl's.
Also, if you are a chat room moderator, or regular, try not to overload the room with constant advice or opinions and give others their chance to speak. No newcomer wants to hear the BULL*** of an Oz or Flyereddie48 and the ignorance of a Nhlphi and Justin_Williams14 who tend to deter any potential "fresh meat" that NHL:1 is in dire need of.
Finally... remember to treat all that are in NHL:1 the same way you would want to be treated.
If the truth is spoken by a particular chatter and your feelings are hurt, then maybe it's time to shape up and get yourself a life. It does no good to get defensive over it. If you can't do that, then simply ignore the individual who is trying to point out your faults which is for your own good, and continue on with your pathetic life.
By observing these basic rules of etiquette, everyone can have a better online chat experience.
Wait, then you'll want to come back for even more, and there are only so many hours in a day.
Scratch that... =))=))=))
LOL!!!!!!

Winners and Losers...
What is the first thing you think of when you think of a winner? I think of success. Power. Money. Hell, I even think of women. The thing about a winner is that they have a personal sense of power that not only makes them seem charismatic, but near invincible. That personal power got them to where they are today. When things got to be just that tough, to the point where one could not go further, they drove on.
What about the losers? They give up. They stop trying. Losers end up in NHL:1 chat full time, where they speak very little of hockey, even less of their successes, and absolutely nothing of their future. Their only concerns are whether their friends will be in chat the next day and if so, what time?
You have all been there. You have all had points where you feel like you are failing in your lives. Like you cannot push on further when things get tough. Hate to break it to you, but things tend to get tough. Life is not and will not ever be fair. You know who you are... Oz, Cck2ca, Nhlphi, Pixie, Flyereddie, Thornton_19_ca... the list goes on and on. I'm hoping that if you losers read on, you may learn a little something, maybe show some motivation, and understand there is more to life than chat.
Winners fail and they do quite often. They take risks. They take chances. They make mistakes and learn from them. They bounce back. Winners do not take sick days unless they literally feel like death. Winners do not find an excuse to get out of work. True winners of NHL:1 are Briereyote, Outovcontroll, Sharkfan_in559, Talker_a_Talker, Lotusblossum, Not2Visible_31, Julyladybug16 and Antiwhy. Funny how all of the winners are from the west coast. Not sure what they're putting in the water east of the Rockies, but it is evidently killing off brain cells. There is one east coaster to make the list... Land of the Shire, who fortunately does not drink the water, only the finest of whiskey known to man.
Losers may not fail that often, but they let opportunities pass them by. They do not take chances or make mistakes. They could be one step closer if they do not call off work, or do not work those extra hours. That little bit of money can help set up investments and things like that. Losers are lazy, procrastinate, and put off doing things. Losers are people of words, not people of action, right Oz? Speaking of words, how's your daughter doing with that... any luck?
Sorry, this isn't the time. LOL!!!
You losers that do work 2-3 days a week end up spending any extra $$$ you think you have to pick up playstations, xbox360's, and tickets to hockey games. What you should be doing is consulting with Dean about investing those "extra" few bucks, building your credit rating, and planning for a better tomorrow. Dean is right when he says you losers cross off each day on the calendar until that next paycheque arrives. Good thing all of you live at home, or at least share a 1-bedroom apartment with the local college soccer team to make ends meet, or you would never have the funds to be online... which wouldn't allow me to help you out.
Okay, let's talk a little about Paul. Paul has recently decided to make a move in his life to better his life and set up his future by taking on employment and furthering his education.
I was able to convince Paul to "get into shape" not just physically, but more importantly, mentally. Some of you have noticed that Paul has not been in NHL:1 as much lately. He wants you to think it is because of a girl in his life, but I'm here to tell you it isn't. Paul has been working out 6 days a week, mostly cardio, but more importantly exercising his mind... reading
up on Computer Languages and Operating Systems.
Since most of you losers like to follow Paul around and agree to everything your leader had to say in chat... you should try to follow in his footsteps now. Next time one of you losers state "I'm bored" in chat... ask Dean or Paul for some advice. They will tell you that the best times of their lives are when they are busy, not when they were bored.
Listen Oz, Cck2ca, Flyereddie... etc... if you are afraid of failure, that is natural. But if you let the fear of failure (or rejection) even prevent you from trying to better yourself, then you might as well give up. You will end up with a life similar to Mitch or Vicesandhabits... chasing down younger vulnerable, low self-esteem women for online relationships at 50 years old.
You cannot get a job you do not apply for. You cannot get an education you do not prepare for. You cannot make money when you do not even work that many hours and call off. You cannot truly live if you cannot keep yourself busy and try.
Afraid of getting rejected when asking a person out? Who isn't? Ask them out anyway. A person who is too afraid to ask, to apply, to inquire, or to work at something will fail. FACT!
Do you want to hang around someone who does not take responsibility for their own actions (makes excuses), who talks a big game but does nothing (procrastination, lazy), complains about a lack of money but works only a few hours at one job (lazy, lack of trying), complains about not getting attention from the opposite sex (afraid of rejection), or people who just act as drones and just take orders without asking why nor understanding why (afraid to question and afraid of confrontation)? Wow, doesn't that describe 95% of the chatters of NHL:1? I'm sorry for such a long sentence there. It just kills me to think of so many chatters in NHL:1 wasting such valuable time.
Guess what... if you hang out with losers, they're going to say you suck, your ideas stink, you have no life, etc. Dean, Paul, and the Sonners are here to help motivate you, and say "YES YOU SHOULD, YES YOU CAN, YES YOU WILL!" If you listen to the likes of Oz and think money grows on trees, houses sell for 52k, and you never need to work another day in your life because you think your parents are loaded and will leave it to you, then you're in trouble.
If you're fine with the status quo, then by all means, you can stay there. But if I think you are better than that, Dean and Paul (and if you're lucky to get in tight with a Sonner)... they will try to convince you to do better. Everyone can be a winner. You just have to choose to be one. And it all starts with pushing yourself to the point of breaking down, and when you think you are about done, pushing yourself just a little further.
According to Zig Ziglar, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little 'extra'.
And how right he is.
Good Luck!
Remember... Tomorrow is Another Day!

WTF is up with the status messages these days...
Why do people take status message verbiage so seriously?
And yes, I've had one too many tonight..................... FACT!
I thought the status message is supposed to be used to alert those on our contact list whether we are online or not, busy or free to chat, and whether one could be bothered or not.
Some use this feature to let everyone on their list know of their personal business... like Mandi, who always types up a paragraph about her ups and downs, and more downs. WTF is up with this? You're making yourself out to be a bigger loser than you were before putting up your status message.
I love the status messages that are up and say "Busy". If you're fucking busy, log off... WTF?
I'm looking at a status message right now that reads "my hand hurts"... Who really gives a shit? Nicole Marie, if your hand hurts... tend to it, go see a doctor, put down the 4 drumsticks and eat one at a time. Do you think anyone from your list cares that your hand hurts?
This is what one chatter told me yesterday about being online 24/7 ... "My computer is on all the time because I have a broadband connection and I hate shutting down my computer and having it start up. And no matter how fast one's computer can be, especially for me, it's a lot easier to leave it on." Then why all the status messages, I asked? Is it really necessary? Finally, I was told... "I am bored, and needed someone to talk to."
Finally someone who was honest with me. It is merely an attention getter. FACT!
Messages like "just got out of the shower" by Lindsay... LOL!!! is only asking for what? Maybe she's hoping Oz sees it and PM's her for some cam action?
A lot of people write where they are and what they are doing, which is somewhat valid, if the message is believable. Messages like "heading to Ron's house for a night of sex" just won't cut it Catherine. If you leave a message like, "eating a gallon of chocolate ice cream with whipped cream because Ron told me he couldn't take me out tonight"... I can handle that. Sad, but the truth.
Some chatters leave status messages up on how they're feeling. "woke up feeling terrible, called in sick to work, leave a message"... Okay blueeyed97fan (Bree) if you're too sick to work, why aren't you too sick to chat? Lay off the fried chicken as midnight snacks, and I bet you'll feel better in the morning. You only work 3 days a week anyway, I don't understand.
Who's attention were you trying to get outovcontroll joe with your "ambiens is the Shit!!!!!!?"
Can't be Linda's as she swore she's not talking to you anymore =)) or maybe it is Chris' attention now that him and Lindsay have broken up and he's all yours again.
Other status messages seen today...
xxxxxx_xxx_xxxxxxx "watching law and order, so good!"
x_xxxxx_xxx "chillin"
xxxxxxx_xxxxxx_xxxxx "trying to catch a lizard"
xxxxx_xx_xxxxxxx "at the apple store!"

xxxx_xxxxxxx_xx "Milwaukified"
xxx_xxxxx_xx_x "stuck in/doing phySUCKS."
All pretty lame!
Try these out if you want some attention you chat addicts!
-just because I've been online for a whole day doesn't mean I'm ADDICTED... my chair is just COMFY
-the fact that I have been sitting on my butt in front of the computer for about 19 hours does not mean I am addicted... it just means I have no life
-my two biggest problems are addiction to the internet and procrastination... i'm away from the internet now... i'll work on procrastination later
-i'm not addicted to chat im just trying to be the person online the longest
-i am not addicted to the internet, it's addicted to me
-there's this lost cause I believe in... called myself... and remember, rehab is for quitters
-rough day at school... math and alcohol don't mix... don't drink and derive
-when a man talks dirty to a woman it's sexual harassment... when a woman talks dirty to a man, it's 3.95 per minute
-think of it this way... if I were really addicted, would I have this away message up?
Someone stop the room from spinning.................................
THE END!

Paul owns Thornton and his girl...
Looks like Thornton is still not over Mary_Christine.
Thornton, you never had a chance. Couldn't you see that from day 1, she wanted Paul? Girls only communicate with you Thornton, because you throw mommy's credit card around. FACT!
LOL at Thornton pming Mary_Christine at 2:00 AM looking for Paul, and being told to "fuck off" ... again. =))
Thornton waiting for the day that Mary_Christine enters NHL:1 chat so he can verbally abuse her. LOL at Thornton getting his feelings hurt by her in PM, saying "leave me alone" and wanting revenge.
Michael, she is far too strong of a woman to take you or chat seriously. Bring your best stuff and your backup entourage, because you're going to need all the help you can get. She is too witty for you Michael, you don't stand a chance. I myself with the sonners will be supporting Paul and Mary, but it's not like they need it.
Thornton, you wonder why people talk of your multiple handicaps... LOL at you wishing illness upon Mary_Christine just because she won't talk to you.
Thornton is so upset, you can hear it in his voice.
Paul telling Thornton to get a job, and possibly a girl... a real one if that's possible. =))
Bottom line... Michael is afraid of losing Paul as a best friend. LOL at Michael stating that he will trade in Paul for Oz as a best friend if he doesn't drop Mary_Christine.
Michael, if you have no feelings for Mary_Christine, then why do you sing for her? Why do you get so upset when her name is brought up in chat?
LOL at Michael saying Mary has no outside life because she's always in chat. Last time I checked Michael, you were in chat far more than Mary_Christine. =)) What does that make Michael, a winner?
Even after Paul, Oz, and Barry told Michael to basically STFU, he kept on going with it.
"You spend more time with Mary than me" ... the truth comes out, Michael misses Paul. Fact!
Oz putting in his two-cents worth saying Shannon would kick Mary_Christine's ass if they ever met. Oz, set up a time in chat when Mary_Christine and Shannon can go 1-on-1 in voice chat.
My money is on Mary_Christine. What a surprise, Amelia is on dad's lap while he uses the word cunt, bitch, etc. Way to educate your 2 year old Oz.
Michael, you are getting shit on left and right. First Paul takes Oz as his new hockey partner, then takes the love of your life from you.
Michael telling Paul to hang out with the guys and not talk to Mary_Christine. Oz saying Paul spends more time with Mary_Christine than he does with his own wife, and "I'm married" he says... "you're whipped." LOL at Oz sonning himself to oblivion. =))
Oz mad at Paul for not taking 5 minutes to set his roster, as he is too busy talking to Mary_Christine. Oz, you should try talking to Shannon now and then, find out that there is more to life that chat.
Eddie chimes in with saying "it's what you call a life, Thornton" get over it, Paul will always be a chat friend to you."

fallenangel27493: lol paul
Eddie, if you payed closer attention to your marriage, your wife would not have left you. She would not have taken the kids, and the pet hamster, Herbie. =)) Paul has his priorities straight, unlike you.
Everyone knows that Paul runs NHL:1 and without him, or the sonners... NHL:1 would be nothing.
flyereddie48: flyers beat the pens .//who cares about mary
flyereddie48: right oz
LOL at "right oz" =))
Imagine Oz trying to run this room, I give it 4 days before it closes its doors! Fact!
LOL at Oz saying "all the chicks in this room want me" =))
Paul saying Shannon was his 2nd girlfriend ever!... and Oz begged Shannon to mary him. =))

fallenangel27493: lol @ u spend more time with her than me!
vanspliff81: GET OVER IT
justin_williams_14: thornton
Everyone sees it but Michael. Admit it Michael! Get over it! Move on!
As Paul said, "there are other fish in the sea"
And as I like to say...
Tomorrow is another day!
Thornton, you never had a chance. Couldn't you see that from day 1, she wanted Paul? Girls only communicate with you Thornton, because you throw mommy's credit card around. FACT!
LOL at Thornton pming Mary_Christine at 2:00 AM looking for Paul, and being told to "fuck off" ... again. =))
Thornton waiting for the day that Mary_Christine enters NHL:1 chat so he can verbally abuse her. LOL at Thornton getting his feelings hurt by her in PM, saying "leave me alone" and wanting revenge.
Michael, she is far too strong of a woman to take you or chat seriously. Bring your best stuff and your backup entourage, because you're going to need all the help you can get. She is too witty for you Michael, you don't stand a chance. I myself with the sonners will be supporting Paul and Mary, but it's not like they need it.
Thornton, you wonder why people talk of your multiple handicaps... LOL at you wishing illness upon Mary_Christine just because she won't talk to you.
Thornton is so upset, you can hear it in his voice.
Paul telling Thornton to get a job, and possibly a girl... a real one if that's possible. =))
Bottom line... Michael is afraid of losing Paul as a best friend. LOL at Michael stating that he will trade in Paul for Oz as a best friend if he doesn't drop Mary_Christine.
Michael, if you have no feelings for Mary_Christine, then why do you sing for her? Why do you get so upset when her name is brought up in chat?
LOL at Michael saying Mary has no outside life because she's always in chat. Last time I checked Michael, you were in chat far more than Mary_Christine. =)) What does that make Michael, a winner?
Even after Paul, Oz, and Barry told Michael to basically STFU, he kept on going with it.
"You spend more time with Mary than me" ... the truth comes out, Michael misses Paul. Fact!
Oz putting in his two-cents worth saying Shannon would kick Mary_Christine's ass if they ever met. Oz, set up a time in chat when Mary_Christine and Shannon can go 1-on-1 in voice chat.
My money is on Mary_Christine. What a surprise, Amelia is on dad's lap while he uses the word cunt, bitch, etc. Way to educate your 2 year old Oz.
Michael, you are getting shit on left and right. First Paul takes Oz as his new hockey partner, then takes the love of your life from you.
Michael telling Paul to hang out with the guys and not talk to Mary_Christine. Oz saying Paul spends more time with Mary_Christine than he does with his own wife, and "I'm married" he says... "you're whipped." LOL at Oz sonning himself to oblivion. =))
Oz mad at Paul for not taking 5 minutes to set his roster, as he is too busy talking to Mary_Christine. Oz, you should try talking to Shannon now and then, find out that there is more to life that chat.
Eddie chimes in with saying "it's what you call a life, Thornton" get over it, Paul will always be a chat friend to you."
flyereddie48: paul is in love ..now his fantasy team sucks
paul.anthony84: lol
paul.anthony84: clowns

fallenangel27493: urghhhh paul
fallenangel27493: this is boring!
fallenangel27493: dont make me mute u all
vanspliff81: fix it!
fallenangel27493: lol paul
Eddie, if you payed closer attention to your marriage, your wife would not have left you. She would not have taken the kids, and the pet hamster, Herbie. =)) Paul has his priorities straight, unlike you.
Everyone knows that Paul runs NHL:1 and without him, or the sonners... NHL:1 would be nothing.
flyereddie48: flyers beat the pens .//who cares about mary
flyereddie48: right oz
LOL at "right oz" =))
Imagine Oz trying to run this room, I give it 4 days before it closes its doors! Fact!
LOL at Oz saying "all the chicks in this room want me" =))
Paul saying Shannon was his 2nd girlfriend ever!... and Oz begged Shannon to mary him. =))
fallenangel27493: and its all abt Mary
fallenangel27493: so boring
fallenangel27493: u cant just hate somebody overnight thornton
fallenangel27493: she broke ur heart

Cck2ca sonned to Hell...
One day a guy is sonned from NHL:1 chat and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair he has his first meeting with a demon...
Demon: Why so glum chum?
Cck2ca: What do you think? I'm in hell without my computer.
Demon: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here... you a drinkin' man?
Cck2ca: Sure, I love to drink. Love all drinks, but I love NHL:1 more.
Demon: Well you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, Tequila, Guinness, and wine coolers... we drink until we throw up and then we drink some more! Cck2ca: Gee that sounds great, but what about an internet connection?
Demon: You a smoker?
Cck2ca: You better believe it! Love the smoking, but I also loved NHL:1 chat.
Demon: Alright! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We get the finest cigars from all over the world and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer - no biggie - you're already dead remember?
Cck2ca: Wow...that's...awesome! But can I smoke while I'm in chat?
Demon: I bet you like to gamble.
Cck2ca: Why yes as a matter of fact I do. Love the gambling. Did I mention I love NHL:1 chat?
Demon: Because Wednesday you can gamble all you want. Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, whatever... If you go Bankrupt...well you're dead anyhow.
Cck2ca: Can I get online and tell Dean about this place, he loves playing AP?
Demon: You into drugs?
Cck2ca: Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean... anyway, where can I find a computer? Demon: That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack. or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of a submarine. You can do all the drugs you want and if you overdose - that's right - you're dead - who cares!
Cck2ca: Yowza! I never realized Hell was such a swingin' place! Can I get online and tell outovcontroll?
Demon: You gay?
Cck2ca: Uh no.
Demon: Ooooh (grimaces) you're really gonna hate Fridays.
Cck2ca: Why, I don't get it?
Demon: Oh, you're going to get it, now STFU faggit!
Demon: Why so glum chum?
Cck2ca: What do you think? I'm in hell without my computer.
Demon: Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here... you a drinkin' man?

Whiskey and Fishing...
One Saturday morning, Bill decided to go fishing.
He sat there for hours, but nothing. The bottle of whiskey that he had taken with him was now empty. He threw the empty bottle against a rock, shattering it into many pieces and thought of heading to another location.
All of a sudden there was a nibble, possibly his first catch of the day. Bill reeled the fish out of the water and laughed while saying, "no baked trout with lemon AND no whiskey for me... oh what a morning." See, the fish was so small that Bill had to throw it back.
This little fish was so excited that it started doing back flips out of the water. The fish disappeared for a moment, then popped its head out of the water and decided to grant Bill one wish for letting him go. "Make it a good one" says the little fish, "this is probably a once in a lifetime offer."
Bill... figuring he has everything in life that he could imagine, kept it simple... he asked the little guy for some more whiskey. The little fish said, "okay, from here on out, when you're urinating, it will be pure whiskey."
So Bill sat there and wondered, can this really be true or am I just hallucinating? After five minutes of staring at the broken whiskey bottle, Bill took a cup out of his backpack and urinated in it.
It was pure whiskey.
A bit later a woman who was watching Bill from behind a tree, comes up to him and asks, "are you alright, I saw you pissing in a cup and drinking it?" "I have some water for you if you're that thirsty." "It's not my urine, it is whiskey." "See, this fish granted me one wish, and ... well never mind, try it for yourself."
The woman laughed as Bill turned his back towards her and urinated into another cup. After a few minutes of pleading, he was able to convince the lady to take a sip. "Oh my God, this is unreal, either you have had far too much to drink today and your body is filled with whiskey, or this is a miracle."
After about the fourth shot, she asks Bill for just one more, as she knew her limitations. Bill , grabbed her cup, broke it, and looked her in the eye while asking with an evil grin... "what about you just take a drink out of the bottle?"

No, there is no manual...
Time flies by without new posts, so here’s one just so my fans will know I’m still here.
Not sure what to do about the accelerating pace of modern life; in thought experiments about relativity, Einstein tells us that subjective time slows dramatically the faster we go, so that when we accelerate to close to the speed of light and approach the event horizon it seems more and more like everything else is slowing down.
I don’t know about that. I do know that I spent the first 20 years or so of this planetary existence more or less waiting for my life to begin, and subsequently have somehow shifted gears into a mode of not wanting it to end. I enjoy my life, my family, my work, my friends, the challenges and frustrations of the days. It is a matter of the utmost fascination to be alive in a generation that has seen such changes in the way ordinary people live. And there is the thought, the urge, somehow embedded deep in one’s awareness, that it would be extraordinarily good to make some kind of difference, have some positive impact, before fading away into nothingness.
One of the many unfinished projects that clamors for my attention is making a man out of Oz, now in development, that will address the art of fatherhood.
Oz, learning to be a good father is not for wimps. It takes time, energy, interest, and responsibility. Most of all, it takes you loving your child. When raising a child, no two days are the same, each day brings new questions and new challenges. It often leaves us asking ourselves: "Where and how do we learn to become a good father?"
The bad news is there's no manual to teach men how to be good dads... and no, they didn't forget to hand it to you before you brought your baby home.
This is where I come in.
It's important for fathers to learn about parenting because dads play unique roles in their child's life. Research shows that children who grow up with fathers who stay involved in their lives tend to enjoy all kinds of benefits:
-better school performance
-less trouble with the law
-better jobs and careers
-better relationships with others
First off Oz, you must cut down your chat hours. Maybe 3-4 days a week with a maximum 4 hours a day.
Watch reruns of The Cosby Show, Home Improvement, Father Knows Best and see how fathers stay involved with their families. There are lots of media examples of fathers, and it's all fantasy entertainment, something that you can relate to, but you could still possibly learn a thing or two.
Oz, you can learn a lot about being a parent by watching how others do it. Make a friend who has a successful marriage and is an excellent father. Watching other dads is good... talking about being a dad can be even better. Unfortunately, you don't typically talk about being a dad. When you get together with your chat mates, you're more likely to talk about sports, fantasy GM and commissioner responsibilities, what's for dinner, etc.
There are educational videos, where you can watch other dads in action, learning by example.
Parenting classes are often useful for learning how to be an effective father. Folks used to go to parenting classes when they were having a specific problem. Now, parents find these classes valuable even before any real problems show up.
The simplest, and most important, message about learning to be a good father is to just do it. Your interest in learning to be the best dad you can be is an indicator that you are going to become just that.
So, the words of wisdom for today:
If you don’t have time for anything, you need to take time for nothing, so you can make something out of your time.
Be still. Pay attention to what is at hand or in lap. There is a miracle in it, right now.
Remember Oz...
Tomorrow is another day!

Spring forward, Fall back...
This day, the first Sunday of November, is one of the most popular days for NHL:1's chat scrap.
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight and get that extra 60 minutes of chat in.
Yeah!
