Dads Say The Darndest Things
Dad likes to talk. Or write. Whatever; just as long as he gets to be heard, Dad is happy.
When Rent A Dad has something to say, he says it here. Are you listening?
You Get What You Pay For …
It's long been said that You Get What You Pay For. Yes, by Dad, of course, but it's not like we claim a trademark on that old saw. "You Get What You Pay for" has always meant that you shouldn't expect anything to ever really be free. And it's...
Trader Joe’s is Different
You may shop there. You may love it. Even so, and even if the idea behind the words is part of why you do you've probably never considered something: Trader Joe's is Different. It might seem strange that we'd be talking about Trader Joe's at Rent-a-Dad, but really it...

The Ratcheting Screwdriver: Great Idea, or Disaster?
If you're Rent-A-Dad—or really, any Dad-With-A-Plan—you think about things like tools. Hand Tools. Power Tools. Cool Tools in general. You love tools, or at least see them for what they are, which is ... well, OK ... tools. But Dads are a practical lot, right? Tools...
