    Tool might eventually release a new album someday

    Yeah, but let's face it, all snobs are annoying. Music snobs, beer snobs (admittedly, I slip into this sometimes actually), tech snobs, they are all annoying. Wine snobs are like the OG snobs though.

    The only good gluten-free pizza crust I've come across is still made from wheat and utilizes a process that basically washes the gluten away.

    Yeah, we didn't have to do any supplementing, but it is super-common and it is dumb to avoid it no matter how committed to breastfeeding you are.

    Yup, posted that after he had a stretch of 5 games where he had 35 receptions for 538 yards and 4 TD's. Also comparing him to the Ghost of Rice is not the same as comparing him to Rice.

    Yeah, 49ers biggest problem before the Harbaugh era was that their coaches couldn't X and O their way to a tic-tac-toe win. Their draft record (outside of the WR position group) has been pretty damn good even in the dark years before Harbaugh.

    I disagree, there is much more strategy with bench and bullpen management in the NL that I quite enjoy due to the pitcher batting. Plus I would miss out on watching Bumgarner hit 2 grand slams in one season. Then again, I'm also the baseball fan that enjoys a 1-0 pitchers duel, so I'm not...

    I don't know if I'm totally missing something but that swing isn't a $600 swing. Also I have that exact swing and I would not recommend it. Never swings right and chews through the batteries.

    So Giants swept the Dodgers, that is cool. I didn't get a chance to catch all the games (or all of each game I watched) but I really think Mattingly mis-managed his way to two of the losses at least. Also he seems to be trying to bring that NY/Boston 'slow the game down to a snails pace' style...

    That actually started happening. People bought gimmicky things to keep the kid from rolling over and they had way more problems with kids suffocating on that stuff than dying of SIDS

    Yeah, it is tough to not be paranoid about it. Supposedly with the sleeping on their back thing once they can roll over on their own how they sleep isn't much of a concern.

    One other note on breastmilk supply, if Mom doesn't have a pump she should get one. It will help her build her supply and will also make sure you have extra in storage. A lot of insurance plans will cover the cost for them.

    Yeah, that sounds pretty normal for poop consistency. When you have your first check-up they should tell you how much weight he's lost (all babies lose some after birth) and will be able to give you an idea if he is getting enough to eat or not. Hopefully the screaming will ease up for you...

    Breastfed babies can often go long periods of time without pooping. They are so incredibly efficient at digesting it that there is often little-to-no waste. For the first two months we were only getting like one poop a week out of my daughter.

    Another thing to look into is that Mom's milk might not have fully come in yet so the crying could be from being hungry. My friends dealt with that for the first little bit, took her a while before the milk came all the way in. They had to supplement with some formula.
