I'm guessing Reagen is bored today -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:59 2

Huh. I just found an old lab from Duke that I graded but never gave back (end of the semester). - nubby Nov 28, 12:49
I have questions about their long-term viability, but I signed up for MoviePass today. - Ender Nov 28, 12:49
Does it make me a Bad Basketball Fan that I'm okay with a shortened regular season? -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 12:40 10
- Make NBA and MLB 60 game seasons and improve the world -- nm - Bacon on a droid Nov 28, 12:58
- replace "shortened" with "no" and I agree. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 12:42 7
  - you don't enjoy the Bulls? -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 12:44 6
    - yes and no. - groiny Nov 28, 12:46 5
      - I don't think that's true at all. They are fine up front. They could use some additional scoring threats, but there's much less need for a "true big - pmb Nov 28, 12:54 4
        
        The 76ers don't have one and ... - decline Nov 28, 13:00
        
        well, a big man who can score would be phenominal. - groiny Nov 28, 12:59 2
        
        There are a handful of those guys in the league, and Boozer really is one of them (though I don't think he had a great year last year). - pmb Nov 28, 13:04

SITWAP - Ken Russell dead at the age of 84 -- (link) - amoxy Nov 28, 12:40 5
- Let me rephrase it ....... KEN RUSSELL DIRECTOR -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 12:45 1
  - i dumb. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 12:46
- frig - I was think Ken Follett. wtf. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 12:41
- WOW, I misread this three times.... - groiny Nov 28, 12:41
- I read this as keri at first and was like "holy shit. she was *that* old?" -- nm - amanda Nov 28, 12:41
What is the Gronk thing between ML and TFox about? -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 12:37 6
- [deleted]
- TFox wants to Gronk ML, but ML says that he is the Gronker not the Gronkee -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:40
- tfox liked Aaron Hernandez better than Gronk IIRC. NM -- nm - groiny Nov 28, 12:38
- i dunno, but this reads really, really funny -- nm - prayformojo Nov 28, 12:37 2
  - I just want to know if TFox is wearing an ML shirt or if ML is wearing a TFox shirt. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 28, 12:40
  - then my work is done here. - Diva Nov 28, 12:38
my momma told me that when I was young, we are all superstars -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:35 4

Happy birthday, Don Homer!!! -- nm - nubby Nov 28, 12:31 11
- Happy B-day!! -- nm - Jovian Nov 28, 12:49
- Happy Birthday!! -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 12:45
- happy happy?! -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:44 2
  - (that was supposed to be just an exclamation point. no question. just be happy.) -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:45 1
    - :) thanks everyone! -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 12:45
- Happy Birthday! -- nm - ty97 Nov 28, 12:40

- Happy B-day indeed! -- nm - And a JenBro in a Pear Tree Nov 28, 12:33
question 2! this one's for ST dads (and others with opinions). it's about how much time to ideally take off when the baby comes. - kare Nov 28, 12:26 47
- Your vacation time will be best used when the baby arrives since your typical vacation won't be a priority for the first year. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 28, 12:45
- Two weeks, at least. - Stephen Nov 28, 12:39
- I took two weeks. I can't say if it was ideal or not ... but having my mother there for a week at that point in time was *not* ideal. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 12:33 17
  - seems like a lot of people do this. among other potential issues, it seems like this might prevent the dad from bonding with the kid, you know? -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:35 16
    - not so much about bonding, per se, but it's better for everyone if you figure stuff out on your own. - Reagen Nov 28, 12:41 6

        I stayed with Carrie for a week and then I think each of our mom's stayed for a week. Worked out great. - Jim Nov 28, 12:43 4
        
        this actually makes a little more sense. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:45 2
        
        Another tip (and this will be difficult to do), but while you're in the hospital...it's ok to let the baby stay in the nursery for a while. - Jim Nov 28, 13:01 1
        
        i've heard this one before. it does make sense. thanks! -- nm - kare Nov 28, 13:05
        
        hey Carrie, you gonna get up and rustle up some dinner? - Jim si Nov 28, 12:44
    - having the dad's mother there causes a conflict because (in my experience) all she wants to do is hold the baby - Beryllium Nov 28, 12:39 2
      - yeah. they're there to "help." ;) -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:40
      - There's an easy way to solve that. - Don Homer Nov 28, 12:40
    - I don't know about that, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't want a houseguest, period. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:37 1
      - oh hell no. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:38
    - MIL? What wife wouldn't go nuts? -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 12:36 3
      - this, exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 12:37 1
        
        My sister stopped by a few times, and that was awesome. - Spawn Nov 28, 12:38
      - oh, i concur. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:37
- I did 3 weeks. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 12:33
- I did a week and it was plenty. -- nm - Jim Nov 28, 12:31
- A week at most. Babies are (mine was, anyway) surprisingly low-maintenance those first six months or so, once you get the routine down. - Dr.Vermin Nov 28, 12:31 1
  - I think having a baby that low maintenance is not the norm. Somewhere in between "It's a breeze" and colic is the typical new parent experience. -- nm - Inigo Nov 28, 12:48
- 2 days. - groiny Nov 28, 12:30 1
  - jeez. :( -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:31
- i had about 2 weeks after heather went back. frankly, i could have used more. -- nm - prayformojo Nov 28, 12:30
- I took 2 weeks. It was great, but I don't think it was all "necessary". If you can take 2, I would take it. -- nm - pmb Nov 28, 12:29
- Zero kids, but 3 months. My company gives 3 months for the mother or father, which I think, is pretty fair. - flavorize Nov 28, 12:29 1
  - paid? are you in the US? that's pretty cool. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:31
- 3 weeks seems good. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 12:29
- I think for both our boys I took off just under two weeks. All the time in the hospital, then like 3-4 days at home, and then let y'all have your time -- nm - TFox Nov 28, 12:29
- 5 days. it was probably enough. After a week I'd have been itching to get back, I think. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:28 13
  - wow. (we're thinking about four weeks. hmm.) -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:30 12
    - That's great. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 12:37
    - if you end up needing a c-section, I could see it being a big help. but what groiny said -- if they let him do it, why not? -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:32 1
      - he mostly has to use vacation time, so... -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:41
    - (mind you, I took four mos of parental leave later on) -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:32
    - why not, if he can? family time is good time. - TFox Nov 28, 12:31 7
      - you don't think there will be much for him to do? hmm. i mean, i know i'll be feeding her but it just seems like there's a lot of other work to be - kare Nov 28, 12:34 6
        
        it all depends on the sleep patterns. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:36
        
        What would all that additional time accomplish? i.e. "Enough" for what? -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 12:35 4
        
        adjusting to a new life, a new routine, being responsible for this little being, helping me with all the work involved with a newborn... -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:36 3
        
        I think you've got the right thinking. It's establishes the teamwork and patience you'll need later on. -- nm - Inigo Nov 28, 12:53 1
        
        :) ok - thanks so much to you and all. really appreciate it. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:56
        
        Stuff like shopping and house cleaning, too. And it's a nice way to ensure you both get enough sleep. -- nm - mara Nov 28, 12:38
- IIRC I took a week maybe after the last... -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 12:28

- The Ultima Online story is great -- nm - Jovian Nov 28, 12:35
I work monday wednesday friday nights this week. all in accessories. why does god hate me?? -- nm - amanda Nov 28, 12:26 1

i have two questions to pose to ST. the first: i read yesterday that you shouldn't make a meal from frozen meat and then freeze that meal. - kare Nov 28, 12:23 41
- I doubt that is scientifically correct. -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:30
- A. cooking resets the clock on the bacteria party b. freezing doesn't promote bac. growth, but the process of ice crystals forming breaks cellular.. - zeitgeist Nov 28, 12:29
- you can not defrost then refreeze. You can defrost, cook and refreeze -- nm - decline Nov 28, 12:26 23
  - This. it's perfectly fine. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:27 22
    - yay! thanks all. it seemed weird to me. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:28 21
      - Think about all the frozen dinners and pizzas out there. I'm sure many were made from frozen meat. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:28 20
        
        *covers food with enough salt to create a mummy* -- nm - food industry Nov 28, 12:29 19
        
        oh, salt's not that bad. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:30 18
        
        in the amounts they use in prepared frozen foods? - znufrii Nov 28, 12:32 17
        
        Lean Cuisine has 300-700 mg of sodium per meal. Daily guideline is 2400 mg. - loosilu Nov 28, 12:35 16
        
        the point being that Lean Cuisine is not the typically chosen fast food meal - Reagen Nov 28, 12:44 8
        
        hmmm, they sure seem to be a big seller around here. However, I have no idea of actual sale numbers. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:45 6
        
        I think his point is that any single brand or variety does not constitute a representative enough sample by which to draw any conclusion. - znufrii Nov 28, 12:47 5
        
        my quick googling suggests Lean Cuisine is the top selling line of frozen meals, so it could be seen as typical. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:49 4
        
        If there were only two lines. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:50 3
        
        the difference in sales may actually be that big. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:51 2
        
        which you have demonstrated by...? -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:52 1
        
        true, I haven't. - loosilu Nov 28, 12:54
        
        "frozen food" -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:44
        
        though I rarely defend znu, I must point out that he said food, not Lean Cuisine :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:37 6
        
        they're decent frozen meals. It's not gourmet, but it's better than hot pockets. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:38 5
        
        this is single point data analysis. -- (link) - amanda Nov 28, 12:40 1
        
        that's ... not a Lean Cuisine. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:41
        
        mmm....hot pockets... -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 12:39 1
        
        they are tasty. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:42
        
        I know, but sometimes I have to make the cheap joke. -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 12:39
- you can't freeze, unfreeze, then refreeze, but i think refreezing after you cook is no biggie. -- nm - Andie Nov 28, 12:25
- I should have been dead long ago. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:25 1
  - Do I dare to freeze a meat? -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 12:26
- Once cooked you can freeze it. You should thaw and then re-freeze uncooked meat (or poultry or fish). -- nm - pmb Nov 28, 12:25 1
  - *shouldn't* -- nm - pmb Nov 28, 12:28
- we freeze chili and spaghetti sauce all the time made from frozen burger...the cooking would kill it I would think -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 12:25 3
  - yes cooking kills bacteria but some (I forget which) excret toxins which are not (that's the stuff that sickens/kills dozens in a state or country. - zeitgeist Nov 28, 12:33 2
    - mmm...botulism... -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 12:33 1
      - yes, and also Bacillus cereus (the fried rice bug). -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:39
- i don't know. but my uncle, who had to take a class in food management, said that you're not supposed to reheat something more than once. - prayformojo Nov 28, 12:25 4
  - this makes a little more sense to me. i've avoided doing this while pg. -- nm - kare Nov 28, 12:27 2
    - Add some nudity and it should be fine -- nm - con_carne Nov 28, 12:28 1
      - or a bit of swearing. -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 12:48
  - I would agree with this ... but cooking is different than reheating. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 12:27
- once it is cooked it doesn't really matter. - znufrii Nov 28, 12:24
The Pats are already beating the Colts by 2 TDs -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 12:22 2
