Stainless Steel Door Numbers.
If you want to use Stainless Steel door numbers for your entrance doors or house number plates, you can consider a stainless steel door number plate. Unlike traditional signs, most house number plates are installed on the entrance doors or facades of buildings. Stainless steel is a good choice for this because it can be used outside.

The Problem with Manners
I grew up in a household where manners were weaponized as tools of control. If you have spent much time with any children, you will know that for most, proper etiquette does not come naturally. Children are curious and excitable creatures, with bounds of energy I remain jealous of it as an adult. It's normal for kids to accidently get loud about something that strikes fascination. It's normal for them to rush through questions about things without much thought to how they are asking them. It's normal for them to get distracted or simply forget the rules of etiquette. And, the curiosity and energy that spawns this in them is not a bad thing.

Some say I look like Mike Tomlin
I cannot believe how many times I was mistaken for the Steelers Head Football Coach, Mike Tomlin. My sister Connie would beg to differ, but I tell you that when I use to dye my beard and have on my classic Pittsburgh Steelers hat, people use to stop me at least five times a week. I once made a bet with an old friend that I at least five people will stop me during a weekend in Pittsburgh for a game we planned to attend and every time some one stopped me, she would have to pay me two dollars for each person. Well, we never made it to Pittsburgh and I wanted to test my looks to see if I could actually pull it off. In my early years, I was often mistaken for Omar Epps, to when I walked in a store at the Phipps Plaza Mall back in my Atlanta days, a woman start screaming when she saw me (no cap). I will tell you the few times that it happened, and I had fun each time it occurred.

Lead with Values
What is important to you in life? Do you know what your values are? Values are those things that are priorities. These can be anything from nature and beauty, adventure, learning, having fun, or honor and integrity. You know these things because when you see them in others, they bring you joy. When you experience them for yourself, they bring you joy. And when you don’t have enough of them in your life, you feel empty, like life has lost meaning.

Keeping your Child Healthy
How to stay healthy is one thing you as parents should be teaching your child. As often said, everything starts at home. Everything either bad or good exists because you taught your child those things. And, it can be a shame, if people would see undesirable manifestations from your child especially if it is with regards to their health. You see as parents, it is our responsibility to keep them on track with what's the right thing to do and perhaps, the right foods to eat. So, back home, I usually don't allow my children even when they were still kids, for most of them are adults now, to eat whatever they like. Most of the time I am the authority, and would always in charge of whatever it is they would like to eat. "No candies and cakes after midnight. No chocolates and no ice creams when you fail in any subject." Well, I often imposed those things on them. And, I didn't just stop right there, I usually posed those rules on their walls especially when they have done something bad. Also, I made it a point to their mother as well, "cook something delicious for tonight." Right then, my wife already knew what she'd be cooking for dinner that they'd surely hate. With this, I must admit as a father, I was kind of strict with that. And, I am doing this for a purpose and a good cause. Of course, I don't want them to be picky. I want them to learn to accept and be grateful for the things that are being served to them.

My father, my mother, and more
Sometimes I think about my parents and I wonder if I'll ever see them again. Don't get me wrong: this is just wishful thinking on my part. Nonetheless, I hope they see each other again in the afterlife because I think they got along well in their life on Earth.

The bride price has become a necessity for marriage nowadays, and the bride price dowry is also slowly becoming tasteless.
