    Looks like it might be a snow day for the kids again tomorrow, but they are already talking about canceling Friday, too, due to the extreme cold. That will make 6 snow days already. That's kinda shitty, because as much as I like being home with them, they have to make those up in June.

    I don't disagree with you, and I really didn't mean to imply that it would be easy. There are things to learn, no doubt, but I think the fear that many people have that they're going to end up killing their child by doing something dumb is unfounded. Unless you're a dumb, you're going to feed...

    Yeah, I can see that, but I do not have the enjoyment you do for the canned beans. I'm so much a texture person, and I'i sure that's why.

    Okay, I've held my tongue, but I can't stand it any more. Canned green beans make Jesus sad. Sorta. If you buy them in a can, yup. However, I do can green beans that we have grown, and they come out pretty good. They can still have a little texture and crunch to them. But soggy, been in a...

    So I shouldn't have named my son Draco Harry Neville?

    Both of my stoves have a catalytic converter, and I've insulated the house well enough that the difference between the hot rooms and "cold" rooms is only about 3 or 4 degrees. Amazing how much less wood we use with the converters in there.

    Having a newborn is kind of like having an exotic pet. They eat, sleep, and poop. You'll be a master of taking care of that child the moment it arrives, provided you're not dumb, which it seems like you're not. It's a good way to ease into parenting. It's almost like evolution intended for...

    Nah, I'm in the Lake Michigan area. But, thanks! It wasn't the garlic burger, but as I finished mine and the last few bites of two of the kids' burgers and they were ALL over salty, I thought maybe it was a thing.

    I punch people in their whore mouths if they ask. Nah, we never told people what the planned names were. We did share what the gender was to be, though.

    I just had a standard Steak and Shake burger. Are they always so salty? I don't remember that, but it was crazy salty.

    It is cold here, about -5 f, and the wind is strong like you mom's body odour. I have had both wood stoves going hard all day, more than I've done since the incredibly cold snap last winter, and the house is comfortable, but it's going to get chilly tonight as the stoves die out around 4 am...

    Just out of interest, how much had you had to drink when you came up with this idea? Also, to amplify the discomfort of your guests, dressing as wrestlers is not sufficient. Flesh coloured speedos. That's the ticket.

    Yeah, I just find her far too abrasive for the sake of being abrasive. If you look up sandy vagina in the dictionary, there is a picture of her as the definition. I don't care for her humour OR her political perspectives. Other than that, she's great.

    If you're putting a 50 amp breaker on something, you're damned right it's worth an electricians time. that's a lot of juice flowing, and an oven/stove running full out will draw as much as the manufacturer says, so your wiring better be up to the task, or it's fire time. Which is not at all...

    Damn, teeth at birth? That would freak me the heck out. And it would probably make early breastfeeding very uncomfortable. However, each child brings his or her own challenges. My kids all lost a crapload of weight after being born because my wife's milk always came in late, and wasn't...

    Your child may be a big mother fucker because your wife has mutant powered breasts. Don't make those things mutually exclusive. I suggest a close inspection of your wife's breasts.

    You also need to know what gauge of wire is run between the receptacle and the breaker. You can't run 50 amps through wire rated for 30.
