Fire away. Today I’m going to let you ask any question you like about me or my blog Single Dad Laughing.

Over the past few months a great many of you have requested that I host a Q&A (I guess it’s a popular thing to do in the blogging world), so… you asks, you getz.

Feel free to ask anything you like, just keep it clean. Tomorrow I’ll choose some of your favorite (and my favorite) questions and answer them SDL style. Funny questions? Why not? Deep, sincere, or personal questions? Sure. Silly, short, unimportant, and random questions? Awesome.

where are the answers?

This is probably too late for an answer, but I was wondering how you got from working full time and blogging part time to being able to quit your job and blog full time?

If you were God for just one day, what would you do?

okay here's the thing: are you gay? not that it matters, i'm just curious. =)

do you have a dog to have a friend at home?

How do you feel about transgender children? If Noah came to you and adamantly insisted that he was really a girl, and wanted to dress and participate in 'girlish' things, how would you respond?

I'm wondering if you are gong to answer all of these questions?

I am with several others in wanting to know the dish on the divorces. It's typical human curiossity, I suppose. LOL.

But I'm also curious -- I saw in a post once that you said something about having a daughter, as well. Who is she and why don't you post about her? Do you not get to see her?

From what you've written, it sounds like you were given a wonderful start in life with the family you were born into. How has your childhood framed how you approach parenthood?

Okay, I thought I already posted this but it doesn't appear......Is Noah's adoption open (ie with visits with birthfamily), semi open, or closed?

I saw this already. It's between page 5-10, I think. You're on there. Twice! Good question.

So Dan....let me ask you this, since your Smarties in the US are not the chocolaty goodness of our Smarties have you ever tried Canadian Smarties and if not where can I send you some :)

Because you have the funniest blog I have read thus far, I picked you for the "Stylish Blogger Award". There is a little catch so just link back to my site and see what you need to do to Pay it Forward!

When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last? Or is it blasphemous to mention smarties on your blog?

Smarties in the US are not the same as in Canada! They are powdery pills-like candies here, not chocolate :-)

Ha thanks for clarifying... i was thinking "smarties are pastel colors... there are no red ones!" ha

Weird, I had no idea, but cool little piece of info. Your Smarties in the US are the same as our Rockets here in Canada! I do like random bits of knowledge. :)

I moved to the US a couple of years ago, I'm Canadian!
I was "shocked" when I asked my husband to get me Smarties during pregnancy and he showed up with "rockets" ha ha

How do you think raising a child as a Single Dad has influenced your relationship with Noah? I have to admit that I feel a tad envious of the relationship I see Fathers have with their children when they take such an active/front seat role. Don't misunderstand my Husband is a good and loving Father but doesn't really spend the kind of quality time I'd like to see him spend with our children. Along the same lines, what single piece of advice would you give to Fathers?

New reader and new blogger. WOULD YOU CONSIDER READING SOME OF MY BLOGS AND COMMENTING? I suggest numbers 12-15 (these 4 on FB started me out) also see numbers 23, 23, 24, 26, and 38.

AND I ALSO ISSUE AN INVITATION TO THOSE READING THESE COMMENTS:
outofmymindbykt.blogspot.com

What is the one thing you want to make sure that you teach Noah?

And side note: does it creep you out to have so many people want to date/marry you - that you don't even know??

Well, really, his blog is like an extended internet dating site profile. I'm not sure how that's creepy? Ha!

I would love a "You! Keep being awesome" magnet for my fridge. Can I get my hopes up?

dude, people here would eat up your merch like peanut m&ms.

I have another one..will you meet me for coffee??? Lol. Totally not hitting on you. I LOVE your column and your ideas. I think coffee with you would be awesome. In fact, you should do a coffee group somewhere in town =)

Note to self: girl friendly blog = poon.

I thought I'd be proactive and read all the questions before repeating any... but you have to many to read through and I have a life........ kind of.

So something unique. How about I don't ask you about your ex's that'll be unique. ;)

1) Do you like to read or are you aliterate?
2) What is your favorite color? Your lucky #?

I really, really, really hope you misspelled "illiterate" on purpose...

Why does everyone think you are Morman? Did I miss that post? I started at "You Just Broke Your Child."

When you write something this personal how do you keep from taking it personally when people go on the offensive? How do you keep from internalizing it to the point of ulcers?

He has some great posts from the very beginning. I suggest going back and reading them, especially the first month or so, and, of course, his "Disease called Perfection" post. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G talent this guy has.

What's the color of your toothbrush? Did you have to go check in order to answer that question?

Ack! I wanted to LIKE this one but I unliked it by accident! :(

I promised myself that I wouldn't respond to this post. Unfortunately, like a jenkem addict, I keep coming back for more. I've spent the better part of my work day thinking of questions. The questions range from the hypothetical to the asinine, I guess it depends on ones POV. Oh well, here I go! Enjoy!

1. If you were a widower, would you still have the same blog name?
2. What do your ex-wives think of your website?
3. How many fans have you dated from this website? Tokyo Sandblasted?
4. Are you Mormon? (It's the only reason why I see why you have a cult following, they eat this crap up. While I was on my mission, my girlfriend back home was a total sympathy whore. That's all I would hear from her in her letters. I was SO relieved to get a 'Dear John' Letter. TMI? )
5. Do dudes send pictures of themselves to you?
6. What "wisdom" will you impart to Noah about dating( do you consider yourself a credible authority on the subject or do you serve as a cautionary tale?).
7. Have you thought about writing shorter entries? I have a short attention span for things I don't care about.
8. Did you only get married to have sex? You test drive a car before you buy it, shouldn't you do the same with a woman?
9. You're 30...and been married twice. Do you think you got married too young, too quick?

Well, that's about all I have...I'm excited to read your responses until I grow bored.

You were relieved to get your 'Dear John'!? Ha! Why on Earth didn't you Dear Jane her?

Moot point. It's not like I could start dating someone else on my mission. Why not "enjoy" the extra letters and care packages from home?

Are you looking to date or are you thinking that you should focus on Noah right now? I must admit, I am one of those girls who is seriously jaw dropped at you and how you carry yourself. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I love Dan and I love this blog but I am seriously puzzled at how so many women , throw themselves at an "internet person" they haven't even met, who has been divorced twice already. Not saying I wouldn't give a twice divorced guy a chance (well, if I weren't married myself, that is) but it sure is a tad bit of a turnoff at first, he'd have to seriously win me over!

No offense Dan, I know you won't mind as you've posted about this in the past anyway :-)

my computer had a brain fart!

I thought I smelled something. :o)

Do you think you'll read my question since I'm Number 167? Do you have full-custody of your little darlings or do you share the privilege with the biological mother/s? ( I try to be PC in my snooping.) I know about these type of things because I, too, am a former cog in the wheelsof the Single Dad Laughing Industrial Complex. no more. Remember, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, ha ha, unless you keep finding babies in the cabbage patch before you get out of the tunnel.

Would you mind if I started answering questions for you? ;->

I was going to say, I bet I know more answers than you do, but then I got to thinking, maybe between my perspective and your own, we could pretty much cover the basics. ;->

Lol. At least you asked permission. I just started doing it as I went along, posting links for previous posts on the subject they asked about. It helps that we have all been here since almost the beginning and actually read all the posts.

And if we don't know the answer, we can always make one up.

And I just read the rest of the comments... Do you know how hard it is not to answer almost every other one??!!??!!
