The only thing I didn't like about tonight's #bdnt is that I didn't get home in time for an improvised bedtime story. :-(

Kinda sad...took down the crib tonight. Our 2 1/2 y.o. is sleeping in her own big girl bed, our 5 y.o. long ago left the crib.

It's a right of passage for kids AND parents. But, don't worry, Hutch. Next thing you know, you'll be putting grandchildren in that crib!

In some ways, that's too true. Where does the time go?

don't forget to block the stairs so when your toddler wanders during the night...which they eventually will start to do. I remember removing the side of the crib. big change for my daughter(s) and the wife. LOL we fathers, well, we adjust.

Thanks derikp - the gate is closed tonight. Just because little Annika might wander in the night.

Dominique - when I broke down the crib, it was also the first time it hasn't been in our room for 2 1/2 years. My wife and I simply slept downstairs all that time. Yeah, pretty crazy, I'll admit.

If you were to go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. By my calculations, our next president has to be named Yellnick McWawa.

Should focus on the fact the monies overwhelmingly come from members outside the state. Yes, it should point out the Church/State thing, too, but this is too heavy handed to sway any undecided, methinks.
- Michael W. May
Well, considering they sent me a mailer today falsely implying that Obama (and Biden) endorse Prop 8 and threw in a bunch of black pastors (when their church didn't fully recognize the humanity of black people in their church until 1978) telling me I should vote against my two black, gay sisters civil rights... It's a little difficult to have perspective on what's too much right now.
- Maria Niles
perspective. yes. I have zero right now, which is why I asked all of you. lol
- Erin @queenofspain
That mailer was absolutely evil. pure, unadulterated evil. coming from so-called 'righteous' ones.
- Karoli
OK - interesting you got it too Karoli - I was wondering if it was because I'm black or because I'm in Oakland with a large black population.
- Maria Niles
I didn't get it, but I heard about it last night from a list I belong to. It was intentionally targeting black voters in high density areas.
- Karoli
I'm not sure it will sway any undecideds, but I like it. I mean, honestly, what's next? Outlawing interracial marriages again?
- califmom
I agree w Michael May I love what Courage Campaign has done overall, but it isn't just Mormons that have campaigned for Prop 8- emphasis should be on money from churches, period going into this.
- Ginger Kenney
He did say that at Saddleback but "Senators Obama and Biden have made clear their commitment to fighting for equal rights for all Americans whether it's by granting LGBT Americans all the civil rights and benefits available to heterosexual couples, or repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' While Senators Obama and Biden oppose same-sex marriage, they support civil unions," said a statement...
more...
- Maria Niles
@Ginger Kenney - good point. Several churches also funding heavily.
- Maria Niles
Because it amends the state constitution. Many who are not gay marriage supporters oppose amending the constitution so that discrimination is mandatory.
- Maria Niles
Perfectly consistent. Prop 8 creates two separate classes in society (separate but equal) and then grants rights to one of them. You should oppose it too.
- Karoli
We have never, ever added a provision to the constitution that segregated a class of society and conferred rights on some, not all.
- Karoli
BUT it seems that amending the California constitution is the ONLY recourse for the Prop. 8 supporters when the California Supreme Court continues to subvert the will of California's citizens! Wasn't there an earlier ballot initiative that SHOULD have settled the issue until the California Supreme Court ruled otherwise?
- Thomas Ho
from fftogo
It was as illegal as what they're doing now. Prop 8 supporters would get more traction if they'd quit trying to force their will down everyone's throat and start being compassionate the way they are called to.
- Karoli
The video is DEFINITELY too much, and is by far one of the most hate-filled videos that I have seen in the 2008 campaign. And for those who believe that out-of-state people should not get involved in the politics of a particular state, do you therefore object to northerners going to the south in the 1950s and early 1960s during the civil rights movement? One can respectfully disagree...

- Ontario Emperor
Regarding Obama - he has stated his personal views on marriage, but has also stated that he opposes enactment of this proposition. Biden's in a tougher pickle, because what he said in the vice presidential debate directly contradicted what he said on Ellen later.

Maria, that flier doesn't sound like something the group would distribute. Disappointing if that's the case, and I would hope the church and its members are not associated with it.
- Louis Gray
Yeah - as a Mormon against Prop 8 I think it's just a bit offensive that you're targeting just Mormons here. I know a bunch of other Mormons against the proposition that I think would agree with me. It seems awfully hate-filled. It's actually making me consider changing my mind, to tell you the truth if this is what's going to happen if it doesn't get passed.
- Jesse Stay
@Louis Gray - not distributed by church directly but by organization that many church members have funded about 40%. But, as I said to Ginger, other faiths as well. However, the flier was particularly awful and felt like a personal attack on my family. Plus, had an unfortunate incident when young with someone who justified her bigotry towards me with LDS teachings. So hard that morning to denounce video.
- Maria Niles
Have calmed down though and gotten perspective back. The video is definitely wrong and unacceptable for attacking Mormons. Fighting perceived intolerance with intolerance is wrong, period.
- Maria Niles
That commercial is way over the top. I have very mixed feelings about the Mormon religion, but I like every single Mormon I know. The Church may well be fair game, but I don't think the kids doing the door-to-door should be singled out like that.

- Peter Dawson
Yup. The house across the street is the same floor plan as ours and has been for sale the entire time we've been in ours (about a year now) and it's selling for almost $100k less than what we paid. Our consolation is that we do have the nicest yard/house/pool combo in our small neighborhood. We looked at a bunch of houses with this same floor plan and ours was by far the nicest. Also, if we had bought 6 months or more earlier we'd have paid $250k or more over current values....
- Internet's Tad
Tad, I hope your area rebounds quickly. I'm just thanking my lucky stars that I live in an area with a stable market.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
It's not the end of the world - we knew going into this that we'd be in the house at least 7 or 8 years if not 10+
- Internet's Tad
I knew that same thing too, Tad, about my house...until I got divorced :P
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Yeah, well, you knew what you were getting into as you were getting divorced. :P
- Internet's Tad
Tad - I commend your optimism (but don't share it.) I was barked at for years by my friends - "why don't you buy? you've got the money. by renting you're throwing your money away." When all the RE chatter began to sound suspiciously like the mania that surrounded dot-com stocks pre-burst, I continued to steer clear. I moved into a house here in LA about 18 months ago. Was not dumb enough to buy it. Had I bought it, I'd be out about $400k. Now, who was throwing their money away?
- Anthony Citrano
Timing is everything. Patience is good too.
- Josh Haley
Anthony, do you have a family? I wanted my then 10 year-old to finally have a house and a pool. That's worth an awful lot of money to me.
- Internet's Tad
Way to go, Tad! I feel the same, except for the pool part ;) We love our house.
- Josh Haley
As long as you can afford the mortgage payments, why worry? It's mostly those who were looking to flip their houses who are in trouble.
- Morton Fox
@MortonFox: folks w/ home equity or LOC can be pinched pretty bad, too. I know someone who got their LOC cut back and now their changing college plans for children. Messy business.
- MikeAmundsen
Yeah - we don't have that worry because we've never had that to depend on...
- Internet's Tad
SO glad the housing bubble never hit here. :D
- Cyndy
At least we didn't buy back in 2005-2006 when people were doing lotteries for houses - buying basically site-unseen the moment a house came onto the market. I'm hoping that sort of hysteria will hold off until just as we're ready to sell! :D
- Internet's Tad
@Tad - and how is that "have a house and pool" not achievable by renting? After all, most people who think they are "buying" or "having" a home are - in actuality - renting it from a bank. If you purchased the house with your own money, and actually do own it, then you're an exception. But your earlier comment indicates otherwise. People who owe more on their house than it is worth do not own a house at all. They own a big fat load of debt.
- Anthony Citrano
Average person in the world owns $2,200. You'd think it might be more, but so many people in the US have negative net worth!
- Mitchell Tsai
I helped one of my friends out of bankruptcy in 1997. He bought a house in 1990 after UCLA, made the down-payment & 7 years of payments and was upside-down on the mortgage. His accountant advised bankruptcy. The Los Angeles market came back in 1999, but waiting 9 years was just too long for a 21-yr-old who followed in his parents' footsteps & tried to build wealth through real-estate.
- Mitchell Tsai
Sad story, Mitchell - and over the next few years we will see hundreds of thousands of similar tales. This market is not coming back anywhere near as quickly as during the last cycle. The overhang is way too large, and the unwinding in the capital markets - perhaps in its first or second inning - is going to take a long time.
- Anthony Citrano
My relatives had 5-6 houses in Santa Monica (close, so grandma could walk between them). During the 1990-99 Los Angeles housing downturn, my cousin was kicking himself for not selling a $450,000 house at a -$100,000 loss at $350,000. Why? Because afterwards the house across the street (similar house) was selling for $250,000 and he could have made $100,000. Instead, he rented the house for 10+ years until the market upturned. Sometimes selling for a loss is good.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Jason - exactly. I often use the term "homedebtor."
- Anthony Citrano
Some of my wise real-estate friends in the San Francisco bay area sold their houses ~3 yrs ago & started renting because the SF situation was just opposite of NYC (1) Low rental prices (2) High house prices. In hind-sight, they are looking really good. A mortgage broker friend waited a few months too long, and he couldn't sell, so he pulled his place off the market and is continuing to rent.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Cyndy, I'm feeling the same way right now. It might be a buyers market, but at least everything here is still appreciating.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Don't worry, SB, it'll be a buyers' market for a long time to come. Anyway, where in the heck are you that "everything is still appreciating"?
- Anthony Citrano
It's still appreciating here, Anthony. There are areas where the whole "economy is booming" thing never really caught on. We aren't trendy here. LOL
- Cyndy
@Anthony: I live in Greenville, SC which has had about 6% real estate appreciation the first half of 2008 according to a recent MSN article http://icanhaz.com/gvegas
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
i feel your pain Tad - I'm down about $125k right now in Orange County, CA. I live in SF but had to rent my house out instead of selling because of the loss. Unfortunately for most of the country we're not going to see any light until at least 2011.

The dictionary was from the night before and it was a gift for a poet friend. I didn't even think about the spears. They were so lame until I realized they were lame and then they improved. That is the way my dreams work. Anytime I am in jeopardy things fix themselves. The "Double Book" line was delivered in a cheesey way onlys Swayze could and the bad acting (in a dream) is what woke me up.
- RAPatton
Lisa, if I can recall anymore weird dreams I'll write 'em down. Most are pretty boring and I can usually pinpoint where they come from.

In our neck of the woods it wasn't called "Pegging" your jeans it was called "French Rolling" and I remember explicitly the appeal was that, since bell bottoms or anything resembling a flared bottomed pant were such a taboo in the 80s, that's what French Rolling your jeans protected you from. It was about the taper, not the roll.

Karim, Jody Reale, edythe and 4 other people liked this
"Humans may not be the only ones to find yawning contagious. According to research published today, a yawn is likely to set off pets as well as those around you. Psychologists found that dogs were far more likely to break into a yawn if they witnessed humans simulating the action. The finding is the first evidence to suggest animals other than primates may be susceptible to catching yawns from others. Atsushi Senju, who led the study at Birkbeck, University of London, said dogs' ability to catch yawns suggests they may be better at empathising with humans than previously thought."
