Oh, cool. Thx. Man, I love living in the future! I wonder what fabulous things I'll never get to see or try because they won't be invented or posible for a hundred years. Oh, friend is here, yay!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Does anyone else use a butter bell? This is the third time I've gone to get butter and the whole lump has fallen into the water, and I'm getting a little peeved about it.

The Saints game is much more relaxing this week, so far.

I've never heard of a butter bell!
I spent most of yesterday watching stuff On Demand. I caught up on c.s.i., The Good Wife, NCIS, NCIS: LA and Parenthood.
Think of poor Sarah Braverman's dilemma: having to choose between Kevin Alejandro and William Baldwin. And the show also makes me tear up. I don't cry the way I do with FNL but it's easy to see the family resemblance. Fun to see Minka Kelly on NBC at the same time that Scott Porter is over at CBS. ..now if only somebody like Gaius Charles showed up on Detroit 187.
Seriously, if I could somehow grab all 3 network shows that run at 9 central on Tuesday, I would.

Excellent in theory, not so much in practice, unless there's some trick no one's telling me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My neighbor seems to like hers - I'll ask her if she's ever had that problem and if so what she did about it.

Holy crap, this run-book is 13 pages long!!! In my defense, I'm including a lot of maps, but still!

Did you list all the foods and stuff? I used to do that with the boys, meal by meal, what they'd eat, what they wouldn't, how to prepare it exactly right ...
Wow, I don't miss those days.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And since this book is for grandparents, you know huge chunks of it will be ignored. "I know mommy says you can't have sugary soda, but since we're at the movies, I don't think it will be a problem this once." Luckily, kids and grandparents always seem to survive unscathed.

Heh - my food guidelines are more along the lines of "He can have chocolate milk if he wants, but if he drinks a whole restaurant portion he will probably throw up on you."
(For movies, I'm recommending they stay home & stick to DVDs, since the only age-appropriate thing in theatres right now is Spookley The Square Pumpkin, and I like my in-laws enough not to inflict that on them.)
