Eating wings is one of the last socially acceptable finger foods. Even kids like to pick them up and clear a plate of saucy goodness. But most people don't attempt to make them. Why? Because they usually come out tough or burnt to a crisp. With a few simple techniques you can make perfect grilled wings every time.

Here's a quick and easy grilled wing recipe inspired by Scott Greenfield. A grill master in his own mind. The ingredients are simple. 1 large family pack of wings (about 2 1/2 lbs.), cut up. 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. No need for any fancy doctoring of the sauce. It will caramelize and get spicier when you cook.

Now that more money is coming in (and going out) its important to minimize taxes so you can keep as much of you hard earned cash. It's always worth it to find a good accountant. You can also get tons of free advice just by calling and asking questions. A tax return usually costs under $500 to have an accountant do for you. Turbotax is cheaper bet an accountant will watch your back and help you with any other financial questions you may have.

Most flexible spending plans begin in January. So you have to plan ahead and get your paperwork to your HR dept before the December deadline. The avg family of 4 uses about $1000-$1500 a year in co-pays and Rx. But if you go to out of plan doctors, need additional procedures and dental work, plan to put away some extra cash. Warning, you must use it all or lose the unspent portion. Also, save all receipts!

We always said we would be the kind of parents that wouldn't just plop our kids in front of the television. Then we realized it was the only way to get them to shut the fuck up.

Then oops, you put on Cinderella and they started screaming. Don't make that same mistake again. Choosing the right movie will give you kids a well needed break in the day, a chance for you to get something done and maybe even make a few calls to your bookie. Here's the best movies to keep your kids quiet for 90 minutes. Also, the ones to avoid.

Wall-E
A masterpiece! You may not leave the couch either. Part sci-fi fantasy and love story. It's a pessimistic view of humanity in the future, but it's so awesome, your kids wont care.
