Study shows that hitting your kids is bad for them.
Children who are smacked are more likely than those who are not to become aggressive and anxious, no matter what the cultural norm, a study says.
A global research team studied 336 families across six countries - some of which accepted smacking as legitimate discipline and some which did not.
It found smacking resulted in more behavioural problems in all countries.
But in countries where smacking was the norm, the problems were less acute, the Child Development journal reported.

Which goes to show that everyone should do it. To make me look more normal.
Fuck it.I'm bitch-slapping Soderbergh, first chance I get.

You'll just encourage his behavioral problems.
Which means more bad movies.
Also, why are ALL the pj pants at Target either flannel or thermal fabric now? I just want another pair of tshirt material ones, since I'm actually going to be seen in them, and all mine are currently kinda trashy. I don't WANT flannel.
OTOH, for the first time ever, I bought a buttload of super soft wide vnecks there, and I think I'm going to live in them all winter. Not very styling, but...comfy.
But sarameg, it's COLD at night -- flannel is good when it's cold at night.
I walked out on O12 in the theater. That's probably the second movie I've walked out on in my life.
And I really, really liked O11.
But...it isn't that cold yet (I can't believe I said that.) They are too warm to actually sleep in. And besides, when it is that cold, that is sweatpants. And those are too warm to sleep in too. Then it is a nice down comforter and cuddly cats.
I need Profit screencaps. To be precise, I need to make a "Good Night" icon.
Okay, I'm about to listen to the commentary, but I'm out of ginger ale. My life
sucks.
I got good news! My friend, Cyn, in addition to getting a new place in the Quarter, is now the wife of the new sous-chef at Muriel's!
ETA: and I feel just horrible
