How much money does the tooth fairy bring?

Parents: how much money do you leave under your child’s pillow when they lose a tooth?

Web Watch recalls that $0.50 was the norm for every tooth we lost, but we’ve heard more recent reports that the dollar value for a tooth has gone much higher today.

Before we get to the topic on hand, here’s another parent question:  what do you do with all those teeth?  Do you keep them? Toss them away?  Make a creepy “tooth necklace” out of them?  Be sure to tell us your family tooth traditions in the comments below.

How to write a comment on the Internet (It’s “Online Commenting Etiquette 101”)

Commenting (whether it be on a blog, a Facebook page, or via Tweet) is a fine art.

Some people get it right, and are effective in rallying other readers behind their cause.  Others are looked at as Internet trolls, people who have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.

Look, it’s really easy — we get it, the Internet is an anonymous cesspool of interaction, allowing anyone with a screen and a keyboard to shout out whatever they feel like, at any time they’d like.  The First Amendment does protect those folks in saying whatever they want, but the First Amendment doesn’t guarantee that they can say it wherever they can.  That’s why the DELETE and BAN buttons were invented.

Top things to do on a first date

When was the last time you went on a “first date”?

Can you even remember what you did on your first date with your current significant other?  Here’s a game to play — with your spouse, you each separately write down how you believe your first date went.  The where, what, how — as many details as you can each remember.

Then, hand your answers over to an impartial party (like your best friends or children), and have them compile the answers back to see who got the most portions of the story correct.  Bonus points are awarded for anything the two of you match on.

How to travel across the country using only social media

Lindsay Rule is comfortable traveling by herself, which is unusual for a young single woman in today’s scary world.

Don’t get us wrong – it’s not that traveling by oneself that’s the scary part – it’s the way that Lindsay chose to do it that may have given her family and friends a bit of a scare.

On the other hand, if you think about what Lindsay did, she was probably traveling in the most safe way possible.  She technically wasn’t traveling alone; she was bringing hundreds of eyes with her, watching her every move.

Want kids to eat more fruits and vegetables? It’s all about cartoon marketing

Look, we all know that kids today are a little on the plump side.

They don’t like to exercise, they don’t like to eat anything but fast food.

Blame it on MTV, video games, and Ronald McDonald.

But there’s a reason for it – and it may have something to do with the same reason that Sugar Smacks had to be changed to just Smacks on the cereal aisle.
