Anyone stayed in LoDo Denver and walked back and forth to a Rockies games at night? Is it safe? 1/4 mile walk.

You know how fish always threatens to quit this thread when Woz shows up? Well...

I'd take 20 wozi over this.

Excruciating.

Survived mattress shopping. Went in one place and the same guy harassed us four times. Hard sell my ###. Went somewhere else more laid back and a new bed will be arriving tomorrow for the guest room. Came home and mowed the lawn. It was getting pretty unruly in the back of the house. I need a nap.

By all means, don't tell us what kind.

Krista, Breaking Bad, Season 5 pt2 will be on Netflix as of Feb 24

I just finished Pt 1 so will be swinging into Pt 2 either tonight or tomorrow. Expect me to be all OMGWTF by this time tomorrow night, I'd say.

Mr. krista has been pushing The Sopranos for my next TV show; sounds like the consensus is either that or Six Feet Under. I can't consider Mad Men or Justified since they are still on the air. That just wouldn't be my style, apparently.

How did you grab season 5 pt 2? I tried hola.org and it still didn't show me season 5 pt 2 in my netflix.

she mentioned this earlier.

via work VPN, she can use an IP that makes it seem like she's in the UK I think. UK version of Netflix has season 5, part 2 available I guess.

I did this for Downtown Abbey awhile back by using some service that made it look like my IP was in Canada or England or something.

Netflix has different shows available depending on what country you are in.

It's not a work VPN; I set up a personal VPN when we moved to Nicaragua. We have Witopia, and I love it. Think we pay something like $40 a year. Hawks, using this I put myself in Manchester, UK for the day, where Pt 2 is already available on Netflix.

Five episodes to go!

I don't think there are dangerous areas in Denver, unless you're in the suburbs and near a crazy kid who wants to shoot up a theater or school

One of our cats has decided to take up the charming habit of chewing through cords. We've bought two new ethernet cords just this week, and this morning as I was watching the Olympics, POW, suddenly no TV because he had chewed through the DirecTV receiver cord.

Finding a DirecTV receiver cord on a Sunday in the South could be challenging, but after a few tries I spotted, on a list of DirecTV retailers within 50 miles of Atlanta, the name "Henry Le" and said to Mr. krista, "He'll answer." Sure enough, he picked up and claims to have what we need, though he's not in the shop address that is listed on the DirecTV site. Instead he said he would text the address and we had to be there within two hours.

Mr. krista now has cash-in-hand and is on his way to meet some guy at a house 30 miles from here to buy a receiver cord. RIP Mr. krista.

When we had cats, we had one that did this bull####. He got his ### shipped off once our oldest started crawling. The little ####### partially chewed through two lamp cords, a mouse cord (before wireless mice), speaker cables, phone cables, cable modem power cord. Pretty much any cord was fair game. Little *******.

This last week can go suck it. My MIL went into the hospital on Thursday due to extreme dehydration caused by what turned out to be a bacterial infection in her intestines. Got discharged yesterday, had vision problems today and is back in because she had a mini-stroke and bleeding on the brain possibly caused by one of the medications they gave her. No idea yet what they're trying to do to help her at this moment.

I also had to take her dog and have him put to sleep on Thursday while she was in the hospital because he had kidney failure, was in pain and peeing all over the place.

On top of all of that, I feel like crap today and have a brown river running out of me which means I may have picked up the same fun bacteria my MIL has. 4 year old daughter also had a messy accident last night which is extra terrifying thanks to the jacked up autoimmune/hematology disorder she has where her body will sometimes start destroying her own blood cells when she gets sick.

Good times.

And noe I get to drive my wife up through the snow and dark into the paradise of Camden, NJ to drop her off at the hospital to be with her mom.

I'm a beacon of health today. My breakfast consisted of Rice Crispy Treats, leftover pizza from last night, and a Klondike Bar.

Oh man... Last time I upgraded my DirecTV receiver the guy forgot to take the power cord from the old one. Plus I have an old receiver that they never sent the return shipping box. So I'm swimming in spare DirecTV power cords here

:( We might need them if we don't get the chewing under control.

We did have some from other receivers, though, and they weren't the same as the one we need.

Had a dog one time who wouldn't stop getting into the trash when we were gone. Started dusting the trash with red pepper, cayenne, and tobasco. Stopped after one day, though I'm pretty sure the pooch #### on our bed in retaliation.

Not sure how to translate that method into utility cords (maybe wrap the cord in condoms filled with Habanero cheese?), so I've apparently posted this for no reason.

Bitter Apple Spray FTW

Didn't deter that crazy ### cat I had. Little ####### would lick that off like it was candied apple or something.

I should clarify. I like liquor in mixed drinks but straight up makes me sick. Just the smell makes me gag.

Get a liqueur, yeah it will be like you're a chick, but it will be sweet and likely not make you gag unlike a manly shot of liquor.

Earlier today, I walked into the room where my 7.5 month old was sitting in her bouncer. She was completely rigid, legs straight out, and her hands/arms were shaking as if she was having a tremor.

She's done it once since then.

The Internet - usually the worst place to go with questions like these - seems to think this is no big deal, and we're really not alarmists, but I'll be honest: it's scary to witness.

I don't know but if it's something serious like a seizure I'd want to know. Call your pediatrician's help line (most have them) and ask.

 

[General Malaise]

Dont worry folks ill be posting a chug video soon. My gf is going to help

Why don't you just have her do the shot video instead

She doesnt drink. I cant do a shot video becwuse Idont like liquor. Im going to chug two 22oz of guiness stout.

Is that good enough?

I don't trust people who don't drink bourbon.

I don't know if I'd go that far. I know plenty of women who don't like bourbon that I trust.

I can't help you if you are naturally inclined to trust women, in the first place.

[SIZE=medium]ADHD doesn’t suddenly develop when a child reaches school age, but instead, most research shows a high correlation between genetics and ADHD. We must assume, therefore, that a child with ADHD was born with Attention Deficit Disorder. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Most children, however, are not diagnosed with ADHD until past the age of 6 (although younger children can be diagnosed), once they reach school age and there are demands to pay attention and complete tasks. Even so, some parents of a child with ADHD have noticed differences in their child from birth. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]According to ADDResources, some of the signs are:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=medium]More squirmy [/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Less able to cuddle[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]More impatient[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]More easily frustrated[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Require more attention[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Have more colic[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Have a more difficult temperament[/SIZE]

Entirely possible. She's on a solid food supplement at this point, which I hear makes babies constipated. She's been on it for months, though, with no issues. I wondered if that was it, but it's still really unnerving. Thank you for the inout.

Bought an 18-pack earlier, and actually went back into the store to get another one cause I knew 18 wasn't gonna be enough. Be prepared, I always say.
