    Yeah we did not ever co sleep. Had a bassinet bedside for the first several weeks, then sleep trained in the crib in separate room at 8 weeks.

    I think that was one of the most emotionally traumatic experiences as a new parent. Sleep training fucking hurt. The ped recommended it, we got through it, and it was for the best.

    Yeah it was brutal for us too. Our daughter did fine with it. Our son was a nightmare. Literally an entire week of getting up to settle him every 20 minutes. Then one night he just went to sleep and stayed that way until about 4:30 AM. At the end of it my wife and I just looked at each other's appearance and started laughing.

    On the plus side, since the kid was breastfeeding for 100% of his needs, she just rolled over, dropped a boob in there, and it was smooth sailing.

    I finished. I am alive. Fuck the finishing time (5:34), it was so damn hot and with the heat coming off the asphalt that I was happy just to make it to the finish without being medically pulled. At one point around mile 21 a dude right in front of me started swerving and then fainted in the middle of the road.

    best sign: “yall finish faster than my ex”

    Buddy of mine ran the CIM (California International Marathon) today so we went down and cheered him on right at the half way mark. We got there a little early and he had a late start so we people watched for 30 mins or so and I'd say 80% of the people looked miserable.

    Congrats on finishing uninjured Nerds

    the other 20% were miserable on the inside, trust me.

    I told my wife that they need to do an IQ test when you register, and then if you are legally retarded then you’re allowed to participate

    I was going to wish you "break a leg," but knowing you, you'd actually do it.

    Congratulations, you just did something I refuse to do.

    I absolutely do not blame you. I forget the statistics, but I know that the vast majority of people who do a marathon, are smart enough to only run one. Further, roughly 20-25% of the people who start a marathon either drop or are medically DQed before they can finish. I'm in that small percentage of especially stupid people who are already looking at training plans for my next one. Plus I have a half marathon scheduled in two weeks which I may or may not do depending on how my legs and feet heel.

    I'm assuming you're familiar with the area. After going through downtown and the "pretty" area for the HM part, the course sent us marathoners way out to the southeast side where there were funeral homes next to churches next to taquerias. The plan was to just enjoy the live bands en route, but unfortunately those live bands were all playing tejano music and that did not have the intended affect on me.

    I cannot stress enough how shitty this course was. The people holding signs and supporting us were the only redeeming part. Especially loved the homeless dude with a cardboard sign reading "where is everyone going?" Though I don't drink, I had mad respect for the dudes in their yard with coolers full of bud light, shiner, whatever and signs saying "free beer" and "come drink with me." Puro San Antonio.

    Well, we are officially those people with the LED light orbs outside. I want lights and at our house, but it is really difficult to hang lights safely. No more hemming and hawing over the fucking lights anymore.

    I am actually kind of excited to decorate inside this year. My kid is old enough to get involved and voice opinions, and it's been fun doing stuff together. We have 6 panes of glass at the front door and spent time putting gel clings in all of them yesterday. We're holly and jolly, y'all.

    The South Park Panderverse special is art, and (much like season 19) is necessary viewing.

    Amy Schumer gets millions from Netflix, this is released on YouTube for free. All the funny ones (Gillis, Normand, List etc.) are.

    Maybe they have another name. Maybe something with Projector in the title. You stake it into the ground and they project lights on your house or wherever you point it.

    Wow, what a week in TiB. First, we hear Nett's actual voice. Now, we find out his real name is Buster.

    Buster Toast. Fascinating.

    String white or red/green outdoor lights in inside fake garland. Then you only have to hang it from the roof in three, maybe four places with a zip-tie. And garland draping down always looks great when it has some form of symmetry to it.

    Whoever, using any Christmas-coloured flood light staked in the ground is way easier, and a lot more luminous. The only problem is the are vulnerable to thieves, so I screw mine into trees.
