Onthepequod - forgive my absent mindedness. I read that book many ages ago and I remember the Pequod. I just didn't make the connection, man do I fell stupid http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

RudeDawg,
My condolences to you and your family. |
Turbovee,
No need to feel stupid, you had no way of knowing what connection I was trying to make. I thought it was a good question. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif |
Ah children. I have to admit that I have given up trying to keep any sennse of dignity. The best is potty training.
The other day I was changing my daughter's diaper in a public restroom (one of those without a changing table -- why businesses are so sexist as to only put changing tables in the women's room . . . like guys never change a diaper?) Anyway half-way through the changing process, she decides to pee. Rather than freak out and scream, I said "Good job. You're going pee!" (positive reinforcement, helping her to become aware of what her body is doing) and calmly placed her on the toilet -- all the while maintaining an encouraging positive tone, urine dripping from my fingers. Just doing my job in trying to make potty training a postive rather than a scary exeperience. Of course I would rather have freaked, but then what would my daughter think . . . "I pee and Daddy freaks. Better pee in diapers my whole life and make Daddy happy." Let's just say that I thought I was a patient person. Then I had kids. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif And don't worry about trying to compete with Norm. The man is a god. I almost died of shock the day he used a hand saw. ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memn...ges/bronze.gif Most Subtle Official Straightman of the Laughing Hyenas -- Grammarian Brigade. |

LMAO! Hilarious! I was in your very same spot a mere 3 months ago. My new daughter is 10 weeks old now and crabby as hell most of the time. Although I can kind of understand that as if I crapped and puked on myself all day long, I'd be crabby too (kind of reminds me of my college days...ahh...the memories). You're in for a real treat! Enjoy them while you can because they (the baby) change every day (usually the wives change too, but that's a whole 'nother thread.)http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif. BTW, I'm in the market for both a band saw and a table saw. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ------------------ http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/MON18.gif Now where did I leave that doughnut?! |
Congrats, Throntar!
Ooo! Ooo! Bandsaw?!? Tablesaw?!? I don’t have a bandsaw myself but so far have not been disappointed by the Jet equipment I have purchased. As for a tablesaw, I do have an opinion. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif I own a 3 h.p. 10 inch left tilting cabinetmaker’s tablesaw and love it, even Hard Maple cuts like butter. While I think Jet, Delta, and Powermatic (of course there are better but then you’re talking real $$$) are close in quality I would recommend going for a cabinet maker’s saw based on closer tolerances for greater accuracy, increased horsepower, and machine longevity. Of course those who are truly talented can turn out excellent work on whatever machine they have. Father Bronze, Ah yes, Patience, a virtue normally possessed only by those without children. Hey, if you know of any place I could pick up some of this scarce commodity, please let me know. |
Patience comes with the territory. When you see your new son a switch will be flipped somewhere in your brain and you will have all the patience in the world.
Mom on the other hand will probably be the opposite. Especially with you. Watch out and good luck. ------------------ Sir Taliesin If they take my gun can I still use my Claymore? |
An amusing recollection just hit me. And since we’ve been discussing pregnancy and parenthood here, I thought I would share.
When my wife first discovered she was pregnant, she didn’t approach me and say “guess what!” or “I have good news!” or even “how would you like to be a father?” Instead she walked straight up to me, without warning what so ever, and with a wry little smile on her face said; “you’re a BAD, BAD man!” http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Several months later I still crack a smile when I think of it. |
Oh! That is toooooo Funny!
Thank you for sharing that! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/485.gif Moni ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif |
LOL, yes I totally agree! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gifhttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
