    I’d pay big money to skip the first 6 months, especially the first 6 weeks and whenever the 3-4 month sleep regression hits. That was one of the worst weeks of my life

    Agreed. That period was hell on earth. My son was good after the first sleep regression. At about 3.5 months he was sleeping the entire night.

  2. My 1.5 year old son can't stay still to save his life. He also absolutely loves The Wiggles.

    Last night, they were in town doing a show. This boy sat still in my wife's lap for a solid 1.5 hours, completely enthralled.

    1996 was two competing companies trying to be first to the summit.  This was compounded when one of the leaders became ill and a horrible storm descended on the mountain after very late summits. 

    Ive read Into Thin Air and I believe there are less biased accounts of what happened.  Krakauer decided he wanted a villain and he chose Anatoli Boukreev.  Most other accounts paint Boukreev in a different light as he was the one person who went back out in the storm to help. 

    Boukreev actually wrote a book about this incident. Check out The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest.

    Any else's family make a biscuit dip mix of syrup and peanut butter? That's the finest in Mexia cuisine from the 1950s. Damn good stuff.

    My family (Cajun) does this with Steen's syrup and peanut butter.

    A Chester County man is out on bond after his arrest for drilling multiple holes inside Target changing rooms, police say.

    Sean Anderson was charged with criminal mischief for drilling holes in multiple changing rooms at the Target on 100 Upland Square Drive, according to an affidavit by West Pottsgrove Township Police. Authorities believe he may be the same person responsible for drilling holes in other Target changing rooms throughout the area.

    A loss prevention officer at the store on 100 Upland Square Drive was aware that someone had been drilling holes in Target changing rooms and had a description of the suspect, according to the affidavit. In fact, on May 4, employees had noticed holes in the changing room of that exact same Target and had caulked them over.

    On May 9, the loss prevention officer noticed Anderson going in and out of dressing, which prompted her to check on the previous holes, the affidavit said. After noticing that the holes had been re-drilled, she called police.

    The responding officer noticed multiple holes in different changing rooms and saw that one of the holes had gray foam inside, the affidavit said. The officer detained Anderson and, after walking him to his police vehicle, checked the area where Anderson had been standing.

    There, the officer allegedly found a drill bit, wooden block and tweezers tucked inside the pocket of a pair of sweatpants that were on a rack. After searching Anderson, the officer said he also found a piece of foam that matched the foam inside one of the changing room holes.

    Anderson posted bail after being charged with misdemeanor possession of an instrument of crime and criminal mischief for causing an estimated $1,250 of damage. Police have not said why they think he is the same person who drilled the holes in other Target changing rooms.

    Belongs in the News stories that remind you of aggy thread

    In my top 5 as well.  In addition to the items mentioned above, do yourself a favor and get the carrot souffle.  My favorite non-traditional barbecue side of all the barbecue joints I've been to.

    I wouldn't even say non-traditional side. It's one of the best side dishes out there.

  7. I woke up to 250 new emails in my work account today. All but one were people replying all to a mailing list to please take them off the mailing list. The other was the initial message on the mailing list. The mailing list wasn't even for my company, but another that I do some work with.
