My son is so enamored of anything prehistoric when he was still a little boy. He had a toy chest filled with toy dinosaurs and lots of books about dinosaurs. I was no longer surprised when he told me he wanted a big dinosaur replica to display in his room when he was in his [...]

I conduct seminars on proper infant care for first-time mothers. I’ve observed that some of soon-to-be-moms don’t take my instructions seriously. They would fumble with the baby dolls during diaper changing or feeding. Some even drop their “babies” and pick them up like one would pick up any toy.
When a friend showed me her daughter’s [...]

Over the years, the use of pewter mugs among beer drinkers has dwindled. This is because pewter is made of materials that are not exactly good for health reasons. Pewter is a mixture of metals and malleable alloy, majority of which is tin. Some of these metals are included in the formula to increase the [...]

Most students at Florida State love to watch Seminoles games. We also like holding victory parties when teams win championship games. My friend’s brother is one of the football star players and he often attends the gatherings that our group holds. We always have fun during these parties.
We usually do barbecues in my friend’s [...]

I moved to LA in 1980. I was fortunate enough to be there during the Showtime Era. Imagine Magic, Kareem, James Worthy, Norm Nixon, Jamaal Wilkes and Kurt Rambis in one team. They’re amazing.

Your family loves to watch football. It is a way of life for your husband and your three kids. You are all glued to the television set whenever a game is on. You don’t even serve dinner on top of the dining table during football nights. You just grab a pizza, sit on the couch [...]

One of my brother’s favorite pastimes is putting together Aurora plastic model kits. When we were still small, I remember him collecting as many kits as possible. He even had those glow in the dark versions. He would bug our parents to buy him one every time we go out as a family.
Eventually, Aurora’s [...]

Teddy bear collectors often look for the most dated stuffed bear that they can find. Early teddy bears were not as pretty as those that we know today, but they looked like real bears. They had extended snouts and beady eyes. They were made of cotton material, maybe recycled from old clothes, and had buttons [...]

Dinosaurs are interesting reptiles. Because they lived many many years ago and they no longer exist they are even more interesting. We can only know about them through fossils that are dug up from under the earth. Dinosaur skulls are kept in museums for safekeeping and to ensure that they are preserved for the education [...]

I have never met a basketball fan who doesn’t collect basketball trading cards. Some place them in plastic card sleeves and keep them in sturdy binders. A few even consider them as holy as the bible. I can’t blame them, though. Some of their cards can be worth a fortune.
My brother is one of those [...]
