So, here's something different for you all to tell me what to do about. My youngest has never been a super eater. Sleeps like a champion, reads several years ahead of his age, is the absolute smallest kid in his class at the entire school. He's almost 7 and he's just 38 pounds. He's also on...

Certainly a valid point. We can't prevent it, but we can try to make people mindful of the repercussions of their decisions. Sigh. Anyone can have a kid, no test required.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I think that's bullshit. That's the argument people who make the decision not to vaccinate their children. Sorry, that's not okay. It has an impact on others. There is a reason we have some laws, there is a reason why common sense dictate some things. You can choose...

10 pounds is a reasonable padding...

I had a Hardees burger yesterday out of necessity. I have never enjoyed their food, but it was the only thing available for hours, and the kids needed some calories, so we had one. I'll be jiggered if I didn't really enjoy that burger in all its vast greasiness. The patty was actually good...

I meant to type Dutch Oven, but I typed roasting pan because I'm an idiot. the roasters there were all around 200-300. They seemed to have more expensive things in this outlet than they do on their site.

This post explains everything.

I was in a La Creuset outlet store today. The roasting pans were on sale for 599$. I looked at the sales person, and told her to fuck herself. No, but seriously, that shit is so overpriced. It's amazing.

It's not an attack. Not in the least. The truth is that we have friends who would likely fill a similar profile to you. We spend time at these friends places. We bring kids, so we bring things for the kids to do. We don't expect you to be the ultimate child entertainer, we expect you to be...

Except you missed the part where we interact a lot with people who don't have kids, and we do it successfully. That includes having them here, and going there. Training kids to not be little shits when visiting at people's place who don't have kids is pretty basic training. I'd invite you if...

Fuck that. Fuck it right in the pussy. I have boatloads of kids. We have people coming over for dinner tonight (several couples, they don't have kids), we're due to show up for dinner at someone's house tomorrow night (they have very young kids, not my kids ages), and Sunday night we're...

I think everyone needs to smoke a blunt and calm the fuck down.

I like your attitude, man. They have likely done everything they can, and the buddy of the day thing is a good thing. Encourage the teachers, because they only want the best for your child. Their hands are largely tied for things of this sort. But keep on top of it. If bullying persists...

My car takes just over five minutes to produce heat when it is this cold. FML

Hey, they have them in America, now. Michigan, Ohio, New York, Illinois, and Indiana at least. Probably more. The donuts are different here, though. I'm not sure they're made on site.

I really do prefer Tim Horton donuts. They're more like cake than just sugary stuff. You rely more on toppings for the sweet flavours, There's a real difference between the varieties of donuts that way.

So I recently watched the final episodes of all the series, and some of them are good, but there are some really shitty ones, too. Here's my assessment, everyone weigh in. From best to worst: DS9 - great ending that wrapped things up nicely, but not stupidly easily. Could easily spin off...

A couple of things: Lumie, why do you feel it necessary to insult people so much? If you're going to have a conversation about what God was doing before creation, you need to frame it differently. Time is a created thing, and the creator is not bound by creation. Being linear creatures...

But what about when it hurts?

Hey, McCheese, would you try either of these?

Not me. I just do what works for me. I wouldn't presume to know what's best for others.

That sounds awesome. I was making Mongolian stir fried beef last night, and decided I had enough beef before it was all cut up, so this morning I had an actual steak with two runny eggs. It was delish.

Not intending to be mean, merely making an observation. I'm in a happy, long term marriage. I haven't had to be part of the dating scene for 20 years because my marriage is happy and good. I'll take my own advice at this point.

Why are people reacting to Khane as though he's an expert? In reading all his posts I can say that he's one of the last people on planet earth from whom I'd take relationship advice. If you don't like what he's saying, ignore it, and he won't continue arguing his point.

Then it isn't communication. Both sides listening style communication is what makes relationships work.

Another option is to put the egg, still in the shell, in with the noodles. Pour in the boiling water, let it sit for three minutes, then gently crack the egg into the soup and let it sit a bit more. You'll get a quasi poached egg feel to it, and, like Soy said, concentrated yolk deliciousness...

Or angle grinder, if you want to make some bad ass sparks. Unrelated

Yeah, we had similar, but not quite that warm. Hit about 28 today, but it's already down to 15, and windchill in the morning is supposed to be -30, so there is talk of cancelling school for the third consecutive day. There's some cabin fever going on here, so if that's the case, we're taking a...

What a bloody trainwreck Chicago was today. Did the team go out partying last night or something?
