  - never mind, I googled. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:01
- you wouldn't expect him of all people to have that kind of insight -- nm - dogbert Sep 9, 19:00 7
  - why? he's a smart guy. iirc, he was a biochem engineering major in college before he dropped out and became a model. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 19:02 6
    - I guess i've never seen him in an acting role that I've been impressed by -- nm - dogbert Sep 9, 19:06 4
      - I've probably seen more of him in interviews than while acting, but I thought he was pretty good in what I have seen.. - b. Sep 9, 19:12
      - I thought he was good in That 70s Show. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:07 2

- Giving Andie some ammo? -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 18:51 2
  - Heh. I used to be kind of anti-reality show. Then I found the ones that interested me..... -- nm - mara Sep 9, 18:52 1
    - my friends and I were comparing which shows interest us the most. As least with people I know, it's very telling. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:03
Fox Searchlight picks up Shame. Director gets final cut. Release in 2011 for Fassbender Oscar campaign. -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 18:47
Hmm, apparently they fed him chocolate cake at daycare today. - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 18:43 12
- that's really irresponsible of them. and disrespectful to you guys. sorry. :( -- nm - kare Sep 9, 19:43
- on the plus side, he is not allergic to chocolate. but I do not want to be the teacher's boss when you call to discuss this. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 9, 19:04
- Hmm, and he is heavily teething. Heh. Face and neck covered with drool mere minutes after getting wiped down. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 18:56 2
  - ya know, if I had all that going on, I think I might bite everyone around. ;p -- nm - b. Sep 9, 18:57 1
    - word to your IM - they should have found something he could teeth on clearly (sigh) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 18:59
- definitely not a combo. to make a happy kidlet. :/ that's where he was biting? - b. Sep 9, 18:51
- Kieran brute? oh it's on ... wtf are they thinking too with not checking on the food to give - JenBro Sep 9, 18:50 4
  - Well, I'd say it's only partially inaccurate ... we did call him "baby fish-hook" for a while. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:00 3
    - ok - I don't get "baby fish hook" - but from the recent pics of you and he in stroller seeing the boats and roaming - that is not a brute kid - he's - JenBro Sep 9, 19:04 1
      - We'd pick him up and he'd fishhook us. Like a wrestler. - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:06
    - (I mean, it peeves me, but my wife is way angrier about it than I am) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:00
- Whoa. I don't know much about daycare -- can you put restrictions on diet? Also, "brute" -- geebus. That's harsh. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 18:47
Contagion is very good and the score is awesome. -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 18:40
Aaaaaaaaaaaargh. - JaxSean Sep 9, 18:38 3

  - hoarders! i do watch hoarders! -- nm - Andie Sep 9, 17:57 1
    - Okay, good! Good! See if you can bring this up. "OMG, you guys, have you ever seen Hoarders? OMG!" -- nm - mara Sep 9, 17:59
Wow, this B2 post cracked me up and I'm not sure why. -- (link) - mara Sep 9, 17:47 [Backboard] 4
- pregnant girl on stilts = hilarious -- nm - dogbert Sep 9, 17:57
- cause kare would have to shave her head, wear blackface, and grow four feet? -- nm - moles Sep 9, 17:48 2
  - Heh. Yeah, that could be it. Of course, blackface and a jersey would probably be sufficient. (To get her ostracized.) -- nm - mara Sep 9, 17:54
  - I thought Kareem only had two feet -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:49
you know what song holds up spectacularly well? Cherub Rock - moles Sep 9, 17:40 3

Any tips for stopping a 14-month-old from biting? :-/ -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 17:16 37
- my knee jerk reaction would be to check for any abuse issues, day care is mostly minimum wage, so time to nanny cam somehow -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 18:55 8
  - Seriously? - Stephen Sep 9, 19:02 5
    - (He means abuse on the part of the daycare employees, not the parents.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:04 4
      - Oh, I know. My reaction is the same. - Stephen Sep 9, 19:09 1
        
        Ah, yeah. I see what you mean. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:10
      - I think it's still a leap. biting is pretty commong. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:05 1
        
        yep. my abuse concern would be more of the how they react kind, as below. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 19:07
  - OH! we have a day care with web cams here - it's such an awesome idea - specially for moms that miss their kids - GOOD idea! Maybe there's a day c - JenBro Sep 9, 18:57
  - pg 98. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 18:56
- do you know why he's doing it? is he frustrated or not getting attention or...? - b. Sep 9, 18:43 12
  - It's all at daycare, and yesterday was the first I heard of it. Today I hear they are going to "isolate" him next week. Hrm. I have doubts about that. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 18:45 11
    - "isolate" him as in time-out? because that seems appropriate to me. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 18:55 9
      - Sounded more like quarantine. Time-out definitely is appropriate for biting another kid. - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:02 8
        
        unfortunately, from what i'm reading from quick googles, it seems like isolating is actually recommended to deal with biting in daycare. - TFox Sep 9, 19:06 4
        
        *ding* "He/she may just be overtired" - every night this week he's slept from 7PM to 5AM. That's fucking unheard of. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:09 1
        
        (hah, I just realized that a non-parent would have no idea what this meant.) - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:11
        
        separating is different than actual isolation, though. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 19:08 1
        
        Indeed, and they recommend at that link having the biter help in the treatment process ... that would be useless for baby k, he wouldn't understand .. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 19:09
        
        IANAP, but do they understsand timeout at 14 months? -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:06
        
        does a 14-month old understand isolation, though? some kind of time-out, like a "time-out" chair or another nanny thing is one thing..but there's no - b. Sep 9, 19:05 1
        
        from what i'm reading, the isolation is less about teaching the biter, and more about protecting the other kids. - TFox Sep 9, 19:08
    - me, too. :/ that's pretty brutish to me, vs. dealing with why and actively working on changing the behavior. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 18:52
- take away his credit card! -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 18:35 1
  - No, silly, that's how you stop a rhino from charging. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 18:39
- Super Nanny! -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:35
- I saw this in a movie -- (link) - peglegpete Sep 9, 17:35

  - And obviously... - Stephen Sep 9, 17:44
- pliers -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 17:28
- tobasco sauce? - JenBro Sep 9, 17:27 2
  - the kid will just get a taste for tobasco sauce. and once they've got a taste, they'll just want more and more -- nm - moles Sep 9, 17:38 1
    - and that's bad? :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 18:05
- There was a "biter" at my daughter's preschool; from what I remember we were told it was out of frustration and inability to recognize pain in others. - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:27
- Bery, give it up. He won't nurse from you. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 17:25
- He's 14 months already? Wow the ST kids are growing up fast -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:17 2
  - Almost. I rounded up. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 17:21 1
    - I even thought he was younger than 1 and I watched his birthday video. - Bacon Sep 9, 17:22
B2 is very anti-The Dutch -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 17:14 4
- There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 17:43 2
  - (Umm, I should probably backboard and make sure this wasn't already posted.) -- nm - mara Sep 9, 17:44 1
    - No, just jokes referencing that line -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 9, 17:46
- They won't let me buy them dinner! -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:20
"some"?! -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 17:14 1
- heh. -- nm - b. Sep 9, 17:15
San Juan Capistrano man arrested for assaulting his neighbor for running a generator during the power outage. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Sep 9, 17:14 7
- I look forward to blackouts every summer, just so I can enjoy the silence! -- nm - Mop Sep 9, 18:31
- That's an upscale neighborhood too. Must have been really loud if the guy came from across the street to complain. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:36 5
  - I can feel for him, seems people with generators go on like there's nothing different, yet the nabes are not only dealing with the problem IE: no air - zeitgeist Sep 9, 17:41 4
    - They are thinking, HAHAHAHAHA idiot neighbor isn't prepared like I am. -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:43 2
      - you're not allowed to run a motorhome generator in a campground that late -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 17:47
      - The jokes on him; his neighbor had a flashlight weapon! -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:44
    - I'm sure there was bad blood to begin with. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:43
Kelly that is the problem. Unless he's showing signs of harming himself, it's up to him to seek help. - Bacon Sep 9, 17:13 10
- i know...just so frustrating. - kelly Sep 9, 17:54 9
  - some random thoughts fwiw - I am sorry this is happening at a time when things with family should be the happiest for you and it must be tough on him - JenBro Sep 9, 18:05 7
    - Thanks. :) - kelly Sep 9, 18:19 6
      - don't give up on him - but don't obsess either - easier said ... and all that I know - JenBro Sep 9, 18:26 5
        
        oh, it's definitely him. - kelly Sep 9, 18:30 4

        No, just happy. :) -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 18:43 1
        
        this absolutely :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 18:55
  - yep, at least you can vent here -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:56
My sis introduced me to Zipcar, kinda interesting concept -- (link) - budice Sep 9, 17:10 2
- Doesn't RC use them in Portland? -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 9, 17:14 1

Loosi never had sex in Las Vegas!! -- nm - peglegpete Sep 9, 17:02 8
- Lord knows you tried. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 17:29
- so much for "what happens in Vegas" I guess :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 17:27 1
  - What doesn't happen in Vegas, doesn't stay in Vegas. -- nm - Bacon Sep 9, 17:31
- let it be entered in the record. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 17:03 4
  - You should add it to your twiki entry. Never had sex in Vegas. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 17:55
