I have a confession…the man in my life is super hairy. Now I’m not sure if that is something that I should admit publicly (I love you babe…and all your hair) but I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only one out there that could make that confession!
My fiancé has a difficult time finding razors and shavers that work well for him, he finds that they either don’t do the job sufficiently or they irritate his super sensitive skin. There is one brand of shavers however, that he has long been a fan of and has used almost exclusively since he started shaving, Remington. Remington is a name that is synonymous with quality and that is no doubt why my fiancé insists on only using Remington.
Remington offers a host of options for the man in your life from shavers and grooming tools for men to flat irons and hair dryers for women. We received the New Remington Men’s Flex and Pivot Triple Foil Shaver (F-5790) to review and I must say my fiancé was probably more excited about this review than any other he has helped me with. The Flex and Pivot Triple Foil Shaver features an exclusive triple foil titanium coated blades equipped with flex and pivot technology. One of the best features of the shaver is that it is rechargeable, it also features a 5 minute quick charge, and a very cool battery fuel gauge that shows you how much time you have left 
- Neck Pivots freely Close, comfortable shave in 1/3 the time.
- Rechargeable Cordless and Corded Razor.
- 3 Flexing Foils adjust to your face, chin & jawline.
- 3 Position Trimmer for sideburn trimming and hard to cut hairs.
- Battery Fuel Gauge shave time indicator.
- Auto World-Wide Voltage.
- Titanium Coated Foils Strong, long-lasting, durable.
- 60 Minute Runtime for 20 Days of Shaving.
- Rinseable Design cleans quickly and easily under the faucet.
- 5 Min. Quick Charge -Battery fully charges in 2 hours.
My fiancé was very impressed with the F-5790’s quick charge capability, the shaver went from the box to shaving cordless in 5 minutes which is very handy when you’re pressed for time and don’t want to fumble with a cord. Jamie also expressed how easy the F-5790 was to operate, it’s ergonomic design made for effortless ease of use. The one problem Jamie had with the F-5790 was getting it to shave his face as closely as a razor, while the F-5790 did succeed in not irritating his face as most other shavers have, it didn’t perform as well as he would have liked it to. The underperformance of the F-5790 could have been caused by a number of reasons and his results are not necessarily what you would experience.
Buy it! You can purchase the Remington Men’s Flex and Pivot Foil Shaver (F-5790) online at Remington-Store.com and mass retailers nationwide. So why not run on out and pick up a Remington shaver to put in your honey’s stocking this Christmas or heck grab one for yourself while you’re there!

Updated at bottom with winner!
In life there are far too many things to be down about so why not take a little time each day to make someone smile? Alright how’s that for vague? One thing that always makes me smile is reading something funny on someone’s tee shirt, I mean it can be funny, silly, or plain stupid and I’m cracking a smile.
I was recently introduced to Snorg Tees, haven’t heard of them? Well no worries I’m gonna tell you all about them…and hopefully show you a few things that will make you smile! Here’s a little bit about Snorg Tees from their website (and just let me say that the guys behind Snorg are just as funny as the tee shirts as you’re about to see for yourself)…
Welcome. SnorgTees got its start back in May 2004 when our group of friends decided that we weren't meant for a real job. We got our options narrowed down to international jewel thieves or internet t-shirt tycoons. Since it was the middle of the summer, we weren't able to find enough ski masks, which left t-shirts as our only option. Fast forward a few years and we've grown to the point where people mistake us for an actual business. We've even shipped a shirt to NASA. That means space. So technically we're a universal company. But we are still just a group of friends who run Snorg because we enjoy it.
Here at Snorg, we specialize in pop-culture inspired, random, and all around funny t-shirt designs. Most of the designs on our site are SnorgTees employee creations. But while we think of about 72% of what goes up on the site, 28% of the awesome design ideas come from you, our customers. So if you think you've got a great idea, send it our way.
We strive for constant improvements, and it's thanks to you that we're where we are today. So go out there and spread the good word about SnorgTees to everyone you know. Stop strangers in the street and tell them where they can replace that ugly piece of cloth they call a shirt with a genuine Snorg Tee. And don't forget to send in pictures of you showing off your SnorgTees around town. Remember, when you're wearing Snorg, all your pictures look good.
I told you they were funny! We received the “Don ’t Act Like You're Not Impressed” t-shirt to review and the second my fiancé saw it he smiled (YES)! The first time Jamie wore his t-shirt out so many people stopped and commented on it that I lost track! Not only was he extremely happy with the quality and design of his t-shirt he was very pleased that everyone else noticed it (the whole “Don’t Act Like You’re Not Impressed” design was right on the money with him)! Snorg Tees offer men and women’s t-shirts and hoodies! Make sure you check out Misadventures in Baby Raising's Holiday Gift Guide 2009 (accessible by clickling the link in the menu bar) to find out all about SnorgTees and so much more!
Buy it! Check out everything SnorgTees.com has to offer…I promise you’ll smile!

It's Day 5 of my Show Dad he's SUPER Giveaway Spectacular and I just have to say thank you to all of you who have entered my previous Father's Day Giveaways! I love being able to find new and exciting products and share them with all of you...it truly makes my day...every day!Today's giveaway is for all of you hairy dads out there...lol! My fiance is hands down the hairiest man I have ever met. He spends more time shaving than I do! And he is always asking me to help him with the back of his neck which drives me crazy! That's why when I got the chance to review The Swerve I was very quick to accept!
The Swerve is a unique full body groomer that is designed to give you a smooth, clean shave! It's ergonomic design is patent pending and is built to give you the comfort and control to shave in hard to reach areas including the back of your neck and upper body. The Swerve contains a triple-action blade and lubricating strip which glides oh so smoothly over the contours of your body.
I have to admit that my fiance was a little leery of The Swerve when I first showed it to him (he's a typical "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of guy). With a little urging and promises of getting him something really special for Father's Day he tried it...and was impressed at how well it handled and how smooth his skin was after shaving (he should listen to me more often). Of course I would be the biggest liar ever if I told you I didn't try The Swerve as well because you know I did (for whatever reason we just can not resist men's razors). I was also very impressed by how smooth my skin was after shaving and at how effortlessly The S
werve seem to glide over my legs! This is a gift that any Dad (or mom) would love!Since the people at The Swerve are so totally awesome they are giving one Misadventures in Baby Raising reader the chance to try The Swerve! One winner will receive a Triple Pack of The Swerve...I'm jealous!

I am posting this because I am truly at a loss and have no clue what to do. I hope that posting this will help me find the answers that I truly need.
My oldest daughter's father is a deadbeat dad is every sense of the word. He doesn't have contact with his daughter and it's been over a year since I have received any child support from him(he is only ordered to pay $53 a week and now owes us $15,000.00). He consistently misses court dates and every time he doesn't show a warrant for his arrest is issued. Almost two years ago Felony Non-Support charges were filed against him and a felony warrant for his arrest was issued. It took the authorities over a year to find him (they had his address as well as his mother's address) and when I would call and inquire as to why the warrant had not yet been served a year later they would tell me that child support was low on the totem pole and unless someone with a warrant had killed someone then the police were in no hurry to serve them. In May of this year he was finally arrested (he was arrested because he happened to get pulled over for a traffic violation and when the police officer ran his information they discovered that he had a warrant) he spent the night in jail went before the judge the next morning and was let go on an OR (own recognizance) bond...which basically means he told the judge he would show up for court, um excuse me Mr.Judge are you insane..this is the man who has not shown up for court in 9 years and you're letting him go with just his word and without so much as a child support payment. Now keep in mind that he owes over $15,000 in child support and he had had an active Felony warrant for over a year. When I found out that he was arrested I was elated (foolishly I thought that he would finally be made to pay for not supporting his child) but when I called child support and asked what had happened when he went in front of the judge I was told that he was released. When I asked why he hadn't been ordered to make a payment (some counties make you pay a percentage of what you owe in order to be released from jail) she said that our county didn't do that. She did tell me that the judge had ordered him to pay $150.00 a week until his pre-trail hearing, and was warned that if he did not do so a warrant would be issued for his arrest. Needless to say he did not comply and a warrant was issued two weeks later. He was arrested, spent the night in jail and went before the judge the next morning. The judge sentenced him to 60 days in jail. Finally he was were he belonged. A week later my daughter's grandmother had called and asked if my daughter could come up to her house for a family BBQ...when my daughter came back from the BBQ she had told me that her father was there...WHAT?...he was suppose to be in jail for 2 months. So Monday morning bright and early I called the Victim advocate for my county and asked what had happened...after about 15 minutes of being on hold she got back on the phone and told me that he had been released to Home Confinement for the remainder of his sentence due to kidney stones...I almost lost it...kidney stones are you fucking kidding me. Well I was as mad as I had ever been, but knew that there was nothing I could do, at least he was confined to his mother's house for 2 months. A week later my daughter went to visit her grandmother again...and guess what... he wasn't there. I called back to the victim advocate and asked what had happened...she didn't know...so she told me she would find out and call me back...when she did she explained to me that the judge only ordered him to 30 days house arrest...I was livid and asked what I could do to get something done since the judge was obviously not doing his job, she informed me that the judge's word was the final word and there was nothing I could do. At this point I was just so upset, but didn't have any idea what to do. The following months were full of more hearings and more continuances. Fast forward to last Tuesday...it was his hearing where he would enter his plea (which is another thing that pisses me off...how is he even given the option of pleading not guilty) anyway I didn't attend the hearing because we had an ice storm the night before and the court house is over an hour away. The next day I call to find out what had happened and the lady I needed to talk to was not there. So today I finally reached the victim advocate and asked what had happened at the hearing...she told me that he entered a plea of guilty...AND...she went on to tell me that he will have to spend 60 days in jail when he is sentenced...why didn't they sentence him at the hearing...she informed me that his court appointed attorney had requested that he not be sentenced until after the holidays so that he could spend Christmas with his family. Are you kidding me. I am so pissed right now that I had no clue what to do. Obviously the judge is not doing his job, my daughter is not receiving her child support money, and this loser is sitting at home all warm and cozy when he should be in a jail cell. If anyone knows what I can do to get some justice please let me know!
