they let me walk out of the hospital with a baby without a background check.
To be fair, your baby's background check probably wouldn't turn up that much. Just lots of loitering and perhaps a GBH charge that you could drop if you wanted.

100.2 fever. ugh, just barely a fever - but he won't take a nap.
hivemind - how long would you give it for the fever to come down before cancelling stuff? We are scheduled for therapy tonight at 6, karate at noon tomorrow and bus at 1:30.

Because books.
For therapy, and if he's not otherwise sick (like coughing, etc.) I would give him Tylenol or whatever and go ahead and go. For karate, I would see how he is tonight and go from there. Jumping around doing karate won't be great if he's really sick, whatever it is.
The weekend away really depends.

Low grade fever is better than a high one, but a fever is always a grrr. I dunno msbelle. I'd probably cancel the therapy tonight, wait on the other two and hope the fever breaks.

Heh. I see conflicting advice already. As I expected. It's really such a play-it-by-ear thing. Amy is right that he might respond quickly to the Tylenol, whereas my kids tend to hold onto a fever into night.

Because books.
I'd expect him to spike a higher fever at bedtime or after if he's really sick (because the Tylenol will just soothe the symptom for awhile, not take away the fever), but when it's low-grade and they're not otherwise barfing or coughing up a lung, I'm kind of a hardass about it.
But that's after three kids, and also thinking therapy might not be something you want to cancel this week, after last weekend.

yeah, I am pretty sure he needs to go to therapy. me fear, of course, is h1n1, since there have been outbreaks around our neighborhood.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is actually funnier/weirder than it sounds: Cute/Ridiculous Animal Thing Of The Day: Hamster Can't Eat Pencil (VIDEO)
eta:
While this video cannot beat the classic "Hamster Eating Popcorn on a Piano," it can bring you joy in its own right. This little guys doesn't understand that he shouldn't eat a pencil because a) it's not food b) it's too big and c) someone will film him doing it and use it to make a mockery of him on the Interweb.
