Alright, David you win... I've initiated my free trial of Amazon Prime. Wanted to use my gift card balance on an order before they start charging tax. - Qale Aug 20, 12:12 3
- Christmas. That's when Prime more than pays for itself, for us. -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 12:13
- Why do yo hate your home? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 12:13 1

- Ya know...take away Gronk's 3 best games last year (which would leave him with 8) and he went for 403 and 6TDs. -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 12:13
- Let's re-visit this when we get closer to Week 1. - Strongbad Aug 20, 12:11 3

Sign of the times I guess, but Connor's elementary school has a full-time police officers assigned (armed with non-lethal measures) and the entrance - Stephen Aug 20, 12:07 4
- Does he have the color codes? - Spawn Aug 20, 12:10 1
  - Yes. And yeah, hearing his teacher tell us what their lockdown procedure was, to hide in the teacher's office behind a locked door and stay real, real - Stephen Aug 20, 12:15
- I had always locked gates (but the front entrance was open I guess). -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 20, 12:10

- Selig's next move will be to just permit A-Rod beanings until he accepts his suspension or misses an equivalent number of days due to injury. -- nm - pmb Aug 20, 12:13 1
  - I'll allow it. -- nm - Stephen Lane Aug 20, 12:16
- I tend to agree, but he does also miss out on salary so there's that. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 20, 12:08
- That's actually good. He's not good, don't let him miss a start and help the team moreso. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 12:07
- Agreed. -- nm - Truman Aug 20, 12:06
STIS&KS: Any good autograph books around for kids when we go to Disney? -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 11:57 3
- they will have them there as soon as you walk in. they have small giftshops there right at the entrance. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 12:04 2
  - (I would prefer something marked up 10% rather 1010% :) ) -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 12:05 1
    - then hit Target. I've seen them there. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 12:09

    - Wow. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:42 23
      - Wait for it... - Spawn Aug 20, 11:46 22
        
        I'd say that even if he misses 8 games this year - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:52 21
        
        I wouldn't keep Gronk. -- nm - David Aug 20, 13:05
        
        One flaw there is that you don't have to keep a TE in BF. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 12:01 6
        
        Oh, you're one of *those* -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 12:02 5
        
        Heh. This Pitta owner traded the SF D away for Jason Witten. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 12:08

        Ouch. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 12:05
        
        I enjoy people in keeper leagues that focus more on the next season than the current one. - Spawn Aug 20, 11:54

        Vernon Davis had 548 rec yards and 5 TD's last year - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:57 10
        
        Alex Smith will not be throwing him the ball this year. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:58
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        And oh by the way, the 49ers love Vernon Davis so much - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:59 7
        
        yeah, I thought his stats took a big hit once Kaepernick took over -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 12:01 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        He had Ray Lewis on him. I coulda gone for big yardage then. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 12:14
        
        Davis has been stellar in both year's playoffs...doesn't change the fact that he went 6 for 61 with no TDs over the last 6 games of the regular season -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 12:08
        
        Too bad he can't play the Falcons 16 times. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 12:03 1

FYI, cars.com has a really good car search engine, with a big variety of criteria -- nm - mara Aug 20, 11:34 8
- I used this one when looking for cars by certain specs. - Was Bar Was Aug 20, 12:02
- Okay, I've decided on the Hyundai Veloster. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 11:40 5
  - oh, forgot a major factor in car buying....consumer reports ratings for repairs and other info -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:47 1
    - yeah, that's why i said "reliability" -- nm - mara Aug 20, 11:54
  - we had good luck with our Sonata and Accent GL from Hyundai (the Elantra looks like a great car as well) -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 11:42 1
    - Yeah, Amy went from a Sonata to an Elantra. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:48
  - Have you been in one? - Spawn Aug 20, 11:41
- they should integrate with social media so you don't end up buying a PT cruiser -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:36

  - If they do it like Hollywood, they open it inexplicably on Wednesday! -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 11:45
- I was hoping earlier and not on a Friday, mostly because I don't trust Future Shop to ship it right. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 11:37

  - $399 has been known since E3. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 11:38 1

anybody use PowerPivot (or Power Pivot as they changed it to)? Supposedly it will be the next big thing in my office and I have to do a write-up -- nm - zork Aug 20, 11:29 1
- Pivot! -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 11:30

I just sent this to Mrs.V. Suitable for several other ST parents. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:16 27
- And as you guys focus on what a four year old should know, I can freak out a little more that today is my daughter's 21st birthday. - pmb Aug 20, 11:39 4
  - If anything, I think I've taken the "enjoy it while it lasts" TOO much to heart. - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:57
  - happy birthday to her!! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 20, 11:56 1
    - and this! Happy happy! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:59
  - yikes. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 11:55
- That's sweet, but I disagree with the flat statement about the best predictor being "reading to children". The studies I've read dispute that - landbeck Aug 20, 11:36 14
  - Thank you, I hadn't heard of the marshmallow experiment! I love it! - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:54
  - Do not know about the whole, but in Bub's case it was instrumental. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:39 9
    - But from a statistical perspective, reading to kids is representative of a ton of other things, it is hard to single out the reading itself as the - landbeck Aug 20, 11:42 7
      - I see it as the act, inclusive of all the above. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:52
      - I think that was the whole point. A child who has parents that read to them is more likely to succeed than 1 that doesn't. - Jim Aug 20, 11:46 5
        
        Both you and the article seem to be implying that there is no other way to get those benefits, though - con_carne Aug 20, 12:01 2
        
        Well, this original post is a link...but you've shit all over it. I can tell you from my experience as a father and as a Scout leader... - Jim Aug 20, 12:15 1
        
        Forgive me, but you are not making yourself clear - con_carne Aug 20, 12:21
        
        no one's saying it's a bad thing but what it's saying is that it may not be a cause - Reagen Aug 20, 11:55 1
        
        Yes. I'm being picky about the wording of the article's recommendation to read to your child. I also recommend reading to your child! - landbeck Aug 20, 12:02
    - Word. -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 11:40
  - Danger, Will Robinson. You are disputing Internet parenting dogma -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:39 2
    - *unreferenced* Internet Parenting Dogma. -- nm - landbeck Aug 20, 11:40 1
      - that's the best kind! -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 12:03
- Perfect. Not to threadjack, but Bub got his first real grades (he had number grades in K, but these are real letter grades). - Spawn Aug 20, 11:34 4
  - B+! B+! This isn't a B+ family! -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 11:36 1
    - No, this is perfect. If it was all As, he would not understand. This way, he gets how the grades work and knows what he has to do. - Spawn Aug 20, 11:40
  - But will he be loved unconditionally if he grows up to love DC? -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:35 1
    - I mean Marvel -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:35
- well put. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 11:32

*drive thru rage* -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 11:07 5
- why do they even bother asking whether I want baja or supreme, when they only ever give me supreme? -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 11:08 4
  - Relatedly: We don't yet have the new Loco taco. (Not that it can possibly be better than a Cheesy Gordita Crunch anyway.) -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 11:25
  - we don't have baja here anymore. count your blessings. -- nm - amanda Aug 20, 11:23 1

Blood Feud: Do we have a volunteer or 2 like in previous years to email draft lists to? - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:05 29
- What the commisioner would prefer is for people to text him. In that manner, we could streamline the process. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:20 24
  - text to what number? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 20, 11:46 2
    - I'm posting it on the BF board right now. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:47 1
      - Done. Hopefully. -- nm - Truman Aug 20, 12:06
  - Text him what? Draft cards? Draft picks? Carlos danger pics? Recipes? -- nm - Truman Aug 20, 11:21 20
    - Smack talk about how stupid other picks are - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:23 5
      - Vampirates are looking up at Cavemen right now. Nobody has forgotten last year's draft result. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:24 4
        
        We had a couple of ruiners last year... can't remember who it was. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:39 2
        
        If you can not see the ruiner in the room... -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:49 1
        
        Heh. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:52
        
        YEAH! -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 11:33
    - Draft cards. And I also want the ability to tell people they are on the clock. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:22 13
      - Do you still have my number? -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 11:36 3
        
        I'll look when I get back from the store. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:46 1
        
        I just texted you and a little old lady when I mistyped the number the first time. -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 12:00
        
        ~call me maybe~ -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 11:37
      - I would, but I don't have your text number. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 11:36
      - You are on the clock - Spawn Aug 20, 11:25 7
        
        I'm still talking trades with people. Astronauts are pulling a Samara on me. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:27 5
        
        It could be worse, as it is in my other league. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 11:33
        
        It helps if you actually, you know, email people. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:28 3
        
        In my current roles as Jeeves the Butler, my free time is limited. -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:29 2
        
        Does Kim have a little golden bell she rings when she needs you to fluff her pillows? -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 11:33 1
        
        See, you're joking but... -- nm - David Aug 20, 11:37
        
        GLTC. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Aug 20, 11:25
- What I need is someone to text me when it's my turn to draft. -- nm - Truman Aug 20, 11:16
- the annual BF posts are like a wall of gibberish to me. - loosilu Aug 20, 11:12
- (and Vampirates, I've already emailed Samara about the draft starting tomorrow) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 11:08
- If non-astronauts want to email me, that is fine. - Spawn Aug 20, 11:06
Actually, it might have happened once. But I was really drunk, and my judgement was impaired. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:04 [Image] 3
- its one of those shows you don't need to watch, by osmosis, comments, comedian jokes and news stories you just know -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 11:13 2
