  1. It has been a slooooow autumn, but my 3 year-old pointed out a flock of sandhill cranes flying over the playground at dusk. Great birds. I need to visit the Platte River one day to see the enormous flocks gathering during migration.

  2. I think we tried to keep our kid in the house for a weekend, keeping him in underwear and taking him to the toilet every half hour or so. Tried once not too long after he turned 2 with no luck, but it seemed to work a few months later.

    Getting him to shit in the toilet instead of asking for a diaper was a far greater challenge for us.

    Well timed bye week.

    The next game is the biggest game of the season. We should lose but...that is why we play the games.

    I hate having to look at Kirby Smart though. I have an irrational hatred of that motherfucker I am not even sure why. He brings up Barry Switzer levels of rage in me.

    Because he's fucking obnoxious and has an elementary school haircut.

  4. My 3 year-old successfully participated in his daycare's Halloween parade today. He was a cowboy. This is a big step, as last year he would not even get in his Mickey Mouse costume.

    I don't know if I've ever seen anything more adorable than one hundred 2-4 year-olds proudly parading around in their costumes.

  5. The good thing about these elections is they force you to put some degree of thought into them. 

    Pre-2016, I always at least made sure there weren't any glaring red flags to the D candidates, or some exceptional R. For candidates nowadays, all I have to do is see who Abbott and Co. are endorsing for "non-partisan" positions, pick anyone else, and my research is done.

    It’s not going to get better. Once Orange dies people aren’t just going to wake up to not being stupid racist and selfish fucks. They are going to keep on and probably get much worse.

    True, but they also didn't wake up and become that way in 2016. 

    I honestly have a very grim outlook on the future, but I am curious what a post-Trump America looks like.

    That was not a great play by Arch, it was thrown late and brought the sideline into play. It's actually one of his biggest issues. The throw ended up being accurate but it should have been a much easier touchdown for a top flight QB. He should have been letting it go here:

    Instead of taking two more steps to make super duper sure that Livingstone was open.

    Again, it was a good play but the throw came out too late. He showed no anticipation and that's perhaps his biggest issue.

    I said this exact thing when the play happened. Way too late. But I'll take Manning's performance tonight.

    I thought this game was over at least 3 different times. I don't have high hopes for the season but this was an enjoyable comeback.

  8. I'm guessing we get a special thread. But you're right, I need to stock up. I also intend to call my Trumpy parents for babysitting duty when that glorious day arrives so I can get absolutely blitzed.

  9. My 3 year-old wants, or thinks he wants a fish tank. I had one off and on from 2-30, so of course I'm in. My wife wants to just get a beta tank, but fuck that.

    My plan is to get him a 10 gallon. Thoughts/recs on getting it set up and what to put in it?

  10. I'm hoping our #2's 2nd year of life isn't as difficult as his brother's was. 2 and 3 year-old's obviously have their issues, but 12-24 months with the first was a beating. Constantly sick, could barely go to restaurants or much of anything that required interacting with strangers most of the year, so many fits, would send himself into puking rages, especially when we would put him down at night.

    The young one seems to have a more even temperament, but he just turned one, which is precisely when #1 became much more difficult.
