Can't help but imagining BT's chasing Ryan with a camera in about 15 years, and Ryan's reaction to that.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's ok, my camera has a 12X optical zoom.

Or you can always turn to spy cameras.
Then again, we're talking about 15 years from now.
Surely there will be a way.

Hmm. I suppose if we get him microchipped now, he won't have a clue how we keep finding him when he's a teenager.

And just think of the food expenses saving!

I decided to run Mr Timberlake through the Translation Party. It was illuminating:
I'm bringing sexy back. Those other boys don't know how to act.
I will return to the sexy. Other boys are not sure how to act.
I will return to the sexy. Please act like any other boys.
I will return to the sexy. Please act like a boy.
Justin Timberlake demands it!

I think I broke Translation Party by typing in "I want to bomb the planet" (hey, I had to make up for my "peace on earth" phrase).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Toddlers are suicidal. Not in an intentional woe sort of way, but in an extreme sports sort of way. They do grow out of it. Some and mostly.
My theory on this is that babies' & toddlers' complete lack of self-preservation instincts is an evolutionary pressure in favor of good parenting. If you can keep a human child from inadvertantly throwing themself headfirst off a cliff before their fifth birthday, you clearly have a set of first-rate genes that should be passed on.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't have a child (I wish I did), but I do have a dog. I find dogs and toddlers to be equal in the suicidal department. I spend a lot of time pulling things out of Mona's mouth that she picked up off the sidewalk. Most of the time, I win. Other times, we spend an hour at the vet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My mind is elsewhere today (apt treatment tomorrow, still some work to do to prep), but I really need to get through a pile of new work.
ION, we have had a solid week of good days at our home. Much rejoycing on my part. I've been trying to really just give mac daily attention and praise, rather then praising him directly for the streak. Apparently if I say something like "wow, we've had a great week, no really hard days, no hurting" it builds up this expectation in his mind that seems unmaintainable and he short-circuits and sabotages things to release that pressure he feels to keep being "perfect". Of course perfection is not the expectaion, but his brain can't see the difference.
