can't you see this amateur child psychology game is tearing us apart?! -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:31 4
- *laughing* -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 13:07
- Dr. Nick, Child Psychologist -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:32 2
  - Hi Doctor Nick! -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:32 1
    - Dr. Oz has his own show, Dr. Nick should get one, too. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:33
I want/need to go walk - but it won't stop *raining*!! **whine** - MojaveMeg Jan 18, 12:30 5
- at least it is not the fog! nm -- nm - trueman Jan 18, 12:31
- just be glad it's not fog -- nm - J Jan 18, 12:31 1
  - sigh. - tRuMaN Jan 18, 12:34
- your allergic to rain! or you have lupus. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:30 1
  - I might melt...... - MojaveMeg Jan 18, 12:34
What does it mean when I cry after sex? -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:27 10
- [deleted]
- you need to sand down the hole a little more. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:29
- You bit off more than you could chew? -- nm - nubby Jan 18, 12:28
- your mother left you at stephen's house -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:28 1
  - ... this isn't going to go over well. Crap. This is what happens when I don't think of other interpretations first :( -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:29
- wiggums is your partner -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:28
- you have Asperger's -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:28
- it means you just realized that you are out about 500 bucks. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:27
- You haven't built up a good tolerance to the mace yet. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 12:27
- you're paying too much. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:27
is there some new password for the Chatzy room for our Ikariam discussions? -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 12:25 2
- i'll ika.-mail you the last one i saw. -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:27 1
  - thanks :) -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 12:29
Hotkiss - when do you leave? I got in for my vaccinations within a day. and you should be able to get the malaria pills quickly too. - Guy Jan 18, 12:20 4
- Yeah, time is kind of tight now. But I know for next time, get immunizations. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 12:24 3
  - well, honestly it depends what you are doing. if i was going to a mexican resort for a week? i wouldn't bother. 2 months of travelling, yes. - Andie Jan 18, 12:25 2
    - oh also - probably worth getting some anti-diarrheals - Guy Jan 18, 12:27 1
      - *that* she should get. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:28
nuclear white stuff falling here - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 18, 12:18 1
- where are you? no snow here (is it even below freezing?) -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:19
[deleted] 3
- This was what I referenced with the Kaeding post yesterday. - David Jan 18, 12:16 1
  - Even Sloane changing in front of him had no effect. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:18
- I bet Rivers paid him to miss it on the sidelines, because he was too scared to win a playoff game. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:14
ugh, stupid snow. We watched my nephew (Ashlee's sister's kid) who cries if she even thinks of getting up and moving away from him while her sister - Stephen Jan 18, 12:11 53
- my best friend's oldest kid was like this ... he turned out to have Asperger's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 12:15 42
  - I feel like this is unnecessarily alarmist. -- nm - amanda Jan 18, 12:20 38
    - Stephen's not having a good time. Maybe loosilu was trying to comfort him. - con_carne Jan 18, 12:27
    - I had a friend who called someone 'alarmist' once. He's DEAD now! - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 12:23 2
      - RUN RIOT !! -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:29
      - that's the scariest post EVER! -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:25
    - I feel like it's a valid statement, if the kid is about ten. As loosi said below, at 15 months, it's not weird at all. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:21 33
      - It really isn't. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:22
      - even at ten, "cries when his parents leave" does not equal "Asperger's". -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:22 31
        
        it could be a symptom. geez, y'all, she wasn't even blankety there. -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:26 4
        
        I would just like to see all posters increase their positive single data point sharing by 15%. - amanda Jan 18, 12:30 3
        
        probably Lupus -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:31 1
        
        Never! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:32
        
        spider eggs -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:31
        
        This is my point, really. It's like she's suggesting it as a diagnosis when it could be 61 other things. - amanda Jan 18, 12:25
        
        at ten, that equals "severe emotional issues" -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:24 23
        
        or, it could indicate 'having a really bad day.' -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:26
        
        cause crying is for pussies. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:25 21
        
        not crying. bawling profusely whenever your mother leaves your sight -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:28 4
        
        how much time have you spent studying child psychology issues? or raising a child? - TFox Jan 18, 12:29 3
        
        at 10? -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:31 1
        
        was just curious. a lot of time? your parenting advice has a sterling reputation. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:33
        
        I'm sure he self-analyzes a lot. And he posts on ST a lot; that counts, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:31
        
        I can see the whole "first day at school" type crying, where everything is fine after about a half hour. But for three days in a row? - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:26 15
        
        OK, but even, *even*, if the child seems abnormally sensitive, it doesn't suggest a likely Asperger's diagnosis. - TFox Jan 18, 12:27 5
        
        Considering how over-diagnosed ADHD and Aspergers are ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:29
        
        Diagnosis? Come on, it was an anecdote. -- nm - con_carne Jan 18, 12:29 2
        
        It's an anecdote that suggests to a parent or relative that you suspect their child might have some sort of chronic disease. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:31
        
        True. We all laughed. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:31
        
        yup. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:29
        
        simple seperation anxiety. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:27 8
        
        and likely an overly reactionary mother -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:29 5
        
        this conversation is insane, we are discussing a non-existent child's hypothetical issues that don't even match (at all) the real child's issues. - Andie Jan 18, 12:30 4
        
        oh come on - pointless arguements are the meat of ST -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:33 1
        
        there is *USUALLY* some basis for it. people are arguing over the RIGHT diagnosis on a non-existant ailment. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:34
        
        I think Beaker's taken the topicality of it by the nards and started to run with it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:31 1
        
        hee -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:33
        
        hypothetical child is hypothetical. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:27 1
        
        they should go to the ER for that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:28
        
        it could. it happened to loosi's friend's kid once -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:24
  - Was this due to him having a 101 fever when he was a toddler? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:19
  - now that's a surefire diagnosis right there. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:18 1
    - look down, and sixteen seconds into the future ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:18
- take them out to play in the snow - tobogganing entertains every kid. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:14 2
  - 15 months - okay, maybe not tobaganning. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:15
  - Oh, we're not in the snow, we're in the rain storm. His mom & dad are up in the snow. -- nm - Stephen Jan 18, 12:15
- how old is he? -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:13 2
  - 15 months I think. -- nm - Stephen Jan 18, 12:14 1
    - oh, that's not weird. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 12:15
- Reads. Rereads. What kid doesn't want their parents to move away and leave them? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:12 3
  - I had to read it a few times, too - maybe stephen means that the nephew cries whenever ashely moves away from him? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:25 2
    - Yes, this is what I meant. My lack of sleep last night is affecting my ability to communicate effectively. - Stephen Jan 18, 12:26 1
      - welcome to the club :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:27
from b2. that stanford study re: calories is counter to one from yale a few months ago. -- (link) - b. Jan 18, 12:10 3
- what does Harvard say? -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 12:13 2
  - heh. (but, iirc, harvard took calories off their school menus a while back - they feared it contributed to eating disorders.) -- nm - b. Jan 18, 12:22 1
    - nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 18, 12:24
and your new Hobbit is . . . -- (link) - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:08 5
- *waits for Sam Raimi to land the directors gig for Flash next* -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:12
- Well, that was predictable. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:11
- He would make a better Golum. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:10 1
  - he looks *nothing* like Ian Holm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:10

for HK: sunblock is expensive in Mexico (like double the price!). bring your own. - loosilu Jan 18, 12:07 9
- I can't bring my own because of the 3.4oz liquid limit :( -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 12:23 6
  - Pack it. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:24 5
    - Won't they seize it at security? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 12:28 3
      - not if it is in your checked baggage. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:29 2
        
        I'm not checking a bag -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 18, 12:33 1
        
        did you check on bag size restrictions? i had to check my bag on the way to Guatemala - Guy Jan 18, 12:34
    - you gotta protect yourself mid flight! - groiny Jan 18, 12:26
- this was my experience in Portugal. You want what for SPF 30? -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:07 1
  - yep, and I could definitely not go without it. I was the palest person I saw in Quintana Roo for ten days. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 12:09
The things to remember about Bullock winning last night - Reagen Jan 18, 12:07 3

Watching Ricky Gervais at the 08 Emmy's on youtube. Heh. -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 12:06
I also saw Julie & Julia this weekend. The bit about Julia being annoyed by Julie's blog ruined the whole movie for me. - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 12:01 13
- All of the bits with Julie ruined the whole movie for me. -- nm - Callisto Jan 18, 12:11
- Grade? -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 12:04 2
  - Since it inspired the wife to make an amazing chicken marsala last night, I'll give it a solid B. - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 12:06 1
    - Good stuff. -- nm - Loyola Jan 18, 12:09
- i already knew that somehow. i think if they hadn't put it in, it would have been a glaring omission. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:02 4
  - Also, given the way the Julie character behaved throughout the movie, I have to believe most people would despise her. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:04 3
    - I can't believe she used King Friday to KO Mr Rogers...cheting bitch....wait, that may have been SCTV. My bad. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:05 2
      - What's this about King Hippo KOing someone? -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:19 1
        
        it's an SCTV skit. Battle of the PBS Stars -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:24
- SPOILS! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:02
- Um. I apologize if that's a spoiler. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 12:02 2
  - how ironic -- nm - zork Jan 18, 12:02 1
    - Like rain? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:02
Thing I didn't know: How To Train Your Dragon is written and directed by the guys behind Lilo & Stitch. - TFox Jan 18, 11:59 19
- They must be pretty short if they can hide there -- nm - con_carne Jan 18, 12:01
- well i won't hold that against it - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 11:59 17
  - Meega nala kwishta. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:10 2
    - hee hee, the wacky howie mandel voice tells you it's funny! -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:11 1
      - This is why you have no Ohana. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:12
  - Show me on the doll where good entertainment touched you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:00 13
    - I think the Ravens bet loss has rattled him. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:02 12
      - It's unfortunate that the designed plan to have Flacco totally suck didn't work two weeks in a row. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:03 9
        
        well that's the problem. He was less sucky in R2. Maybe if he'd completed less passes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 12:04 8
        
        The double-digit completions was something they just weren't prepared to adjust to. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 12:04 7
        
        What's scary for the Ravens is that they're about to lose Mason to retirement, meaning they need two wideouts, not just one. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:12 6
        
        [deleted]
        
        losing Mason at this point is the good kind of scary -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:15 4
        
        Because next year you will not lose any Ravens play-off bets? - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:18
        
        Mason averaged over 9 yards per target yesterday. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:18 2
        
        i'm not worried about finding another possession guy to take his place -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 12:20 1
        
        Of course you're not. -- nm - David Jan 18, 12:22
      - or realizing he really is gay for Batman -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 12:02 1
        
        Well, he tends to protest him, *way* too much... -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 12:03
