Playboy has the right idea for Boxing Day (nsfw)(pic).... -- (link) - budice Dec 26, 12:01
OK out of my depth but what is the right age for a kid to get a cell phone? -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 11:57 12
- We got our oldest daughter hers at 13. The youngest got hers when she was 10 1/2 (last xmas). - JaxSean Dec 26, 12:06 1
  - Sounds like that makes sense. The 10 year old really wants one and I just have no perspective. Mostly I hold the line on no pets... - Capstern Dec 26, 12:10
- as soon as they're old enough to get a job and pay for it themselves? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Dec 26, 12:02

  - reasoning? -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 11:59 1
    - I was mostly joking. My nieces were both given cell phones when they were like 10, which I think is probably a bit young. - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Dec 26, 12:02
Ugh a year later and I still worry that my Ex is surviving and doing ok out in the big bad world.... - Capstern Dec 26, 11:56

  - "just add fertilizer?" -- nm - budice Dec 26, 12:06

- Depends on the collar, usually half-Windsor. -- nm - mafic Dec 26, 11:54
- Half-Windsor. -- nm - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Dec 26, 11:44
- clip-on bow tie - Jovian Dec 26, 11:31 1
  - bow ties are cool. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 11:34
- depends on the tie and the look but I'll mostly go with a half-windsor. -- nm - Melkor Profit Dec 26, 11:21
- half windsor -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 11:17
- I have no idea, i make a v saddle for the tongue to ride, always get a perfect pucker -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 11:17

Reasonable action, or going too far? Newpaper publishes interactive map of gun permit holders in two NY counties. -- (link) - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 11:06 37
- I don't understand why they posted it in the paper at all. who cares where they are located? - Pippy Bells Dec 26, 11:10 16
  - for starters, I would think twice about sending my kid to a house where there were guns. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 11:13 13
    - this is so unfair. my friends all have guns, locked in cabinets and closets. how is that even remotely un-okay? - amanda Dec 26, 11:18 11
      - If I had kids, I'd like to at least know, and check out the storage situation. -- nm - mafic Dec 26, 11:56
      - because I would probably want to make damn well sure that they were responsibly secured when my kid is around. - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 11:21 9
        
        do you ask about knives in the house? "do y'all have lawn darts?" "where do you keep your antifreeze?" -- nm - amanda Dec 26, 11:27 4
        
        I'd like to think my kid would already be familiar with needing to avoid those -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 11:38 3
        
        so why is it not your job to teach your kid to avoid guns? if my kid came to your house and touched the oven and got burned, is that my fault - amanda Dec 26, 11:48 2
        
        Guns have much easier, much more serious potential consequences than almost anything else. - mafic Dec 26, 12:00
        
        I don't think anyone's saying kids shouldn't be taught. But we're also saying we don't want our kids in the situation where they might confront it - Reagen Dec 26, 11:58
        
        this would so not fly in central PA. you meet, get to know your kids' friends' parents. you get a sense of whether they're trustworrhty. - amanda Dec 26, 11:26 1
        
        a couple fair points to make - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 26, 11:37
        
        dont send them to pippys house!!!! :) -- nm - Capstern Dec 26, 11:22 1
        
        heh. I'd tell parents of new kids about them. I'd want to know. - Pippy Bells Dec 26, 11:24
    - thats a good point - I'd hope that gun owners would tell other parents that but maybe they wouldn't. -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 26, 11:17

        I always say the poor intruder who gets into my house when I am there. - groiny Dec 26, 11:39
      - mine is a louisville slugger. jonathan gave it to me. that's what he uses as well - amanda Dec 26, 11:32 5
        
        Yeah, that's the current model. - TFox Dec 26, 11:33 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        yeah, this seems to me like it'd be the best defense, but then you have to carry keys, which are heavy and bulky and make your pockets look fat. - amanda Dec 26, 11:44
        
        When was the last time you killed a home invader with a lock? - TFox Dec 26, 11:37
        
        that seems odd...... - groiny Dec 26, 11:32

        I personally hate guns. I went into a gun store last week for the first time in *years* and it made me nervous - JaxSean Dec 26, 11:23 1
        
        my step-sister's meth addict boyfriend brandished his at my dad's house during a breakdown. i'm still astounded that nothing tragic happened - charlie Dec 26, 11:26
