Just heard a report on NPR (yes, I listened to NPR for once) about Sesame Street. Interesting tidbit; they said they learned that children liked a narrative versus the lesson broken up into snippets. I think Elmo killed the fun that was Sesame Street and 15 min. of that baby-talking rag is too much. My kids feel the same.
If I put today's Sesame Street on, they'll whine and call it a baby show. If I put on episodes of the Sesame Street I grew up with, they'll become engaged in the show shouting back answers to the TV. Also noted by my daughter is that the old Sesame Street taught a lot more Spanish (very true) and everything looked "more real". - Anika
Elmo wouldn't exist if Jim Henson hadn't died IMHO. Less Elmo more Grover and Kermit! - Tendonitis' Bitch
+++Gunny - Anika
The early episodes were more for adults. In fact the DVD release has a warning: "These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grownups and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child," the warning reads. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories... - Andrew Leyden
Well my kids like them. They get a kick out of the 70s graphics, the Chef, the typewriter (which I learned they thought was a phone, go figure) and my son LOVES the news flash with Kermit D. Frog. - Anika
I don't miss those time-lapse videos of flowers sloooooooowly opening, though. Remember those? That was always my cue to take a bathroom break. - Sarah is Novembery
LOL I don't remember those, Sarah. Maybe that was my bathroom break cue too. - Anika
I loved me some Sesame Street when I was a kid (and yes, that's where I first learned Spanish). Those early 80s episodes more than met my preschool needs... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I remember being in kindergarten and every day we watched Sesame Street and then Electric Company. Then we'd have a snack of nilla wafers and orange Koolaid. Then we'd take a nap. Definitely a firm part of my childhood memories. - Her Lindsay-ness
Her Lindsay ness to you remember Zoom?........... - VAL D.
LOL @ 'baby talking rag.' I am still laughing. - Trish R
Hey! Elmo loves his goldfish, his crayons too. >:( - Danny Minick
And when Grover was a waiter. I loved those stupidly predictable skits. - Anika
Yes Anika and when he was super grover - VAL D.
@Val - I don't remember Zoom :S. My favorite Sesame Street thing was the aliens who rang like the phone. "Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Nope, Nope, Nope Nope, BRRRRRRRIIIIING!" - Her Lindsay-ness
Was I the only one who stuck around after Electric Company to watch "3...2...1...Contact!" ? - Bren, Photophobe
I couldn't hang with 3-2-1 Contact. It was too "big kid" for me at the time. - Anika
I loved Sesame Street back in the day, though... - Bren, Photophobe
One other thing that annoys me about today's Sesame Street is that Bert & Ernie are now Claymation. It was annoying enough that Bert was sidelined so that they'd do that silly Adventures with Ernie (or whatever it was called) sketch. But this is too much bad change. As I mentioned in another post, the Tweedledums are now CGI and so is Abby Cadabby. Boo! - Anika
Nooooooooooooo. Ernie and Bert are Claymation? RIP Jim Henson. - Trish R
We have 2 collections of "old school" sesame street and my daughter loves it. She could care less about the new show and we both are ready to turn it off once Elmo's bit comes on. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
The Ernie & Bert claymation thing really annoys me as well. Maya loves Elmo (unfortunately) and she also likes the "Murry has a little lamb" segments. She's just recently gotten into Abbie Cadabby. It is a much different show than when I was a kid. I was never into Electric Company but I was a big fan of Mr Rogers, especially the land of make believe. - Carl Haynes
:O Bert and Ernie are claymation now?! WHY?!?!?! - Soup
Bren, I adored 3-2-1 contact! I think Sesame Street/Henson were on some serious drugs, in a good way. - anna sauce
I lived on Sesame Street and Vegetable Soup. Two amazing shows. "Come on along and join us..." EDIT: OH! and Electric Company! Spider-Man FTW! - Carlos Ayala
I miss Electric Company! - Ladybug Heather
Electric Company was the shizzle! - Eric @ CS Techcast
Electric Company was great because my kid loved it and it was even funnier if you were an adult. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

RT @PenguinSix Jenny McCarthy is an idiot. http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/... (Among others ..)
I really do worry about the future. I've been reading Paul Offit's book 'Vaccinated' (which is quite interesting to a layman like me) and ordered the Autism one. Been on a bit of a tear lately trying to knock down and put pseudo-science in it's place wherever I see it. Uphill battle. - Andrew Leyden

What album are you hooked on right now? I need some new riding music.

My car is old. It eats these shiny rainbow discs and music comes out of it. It's quite amazing. It's like if you could hold your mp3's in your hand... - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

i got those rectangle box shaped things and it makes a funny noise when i press the rew thing in my car. - Alfredo
Check out some of the music from Gnawa Diffusion. Here's their wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Maxamad
james - VAL D.
are you into heavy bass systems and pump up the volume while driving down the street? - Alfredo
Not really, Alfredo. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
good. well in that case, just get anything that doesn't rhyme with wiley virus - Alfredo
Why is he holding coasters? - Andrew Leyden
Tea party?? - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Wongkong - for some reason really hooked on the bad lately. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
Rochelle
Even though we're Jewish, we still set up a "holiday tree" because I love the look of Christmas tree. I'm not sure how to do it this year and keep Audrey from pulling the ornaments off. I don't want to buy a baby fence (we have no use for it otherwise). Our tree is 6' tall so putting it on top of a table won't work. Ideas?
Should I just give up on the idea of having a tree until she's old enough to understand not to pull on it? - Rochelle
put a bunch of presents underneath so she's distracted by those? - chrisofspades
If you are just worried about the ornaments, you could just decorate the top half of the tree. - Steve is older than ever
Make paper ornaments or other safe decorations for the bottom half. - Bruce Lewis
We have always done our tree regardless of the age of our kid and just did our best to keep the little one out. All you really need is to be a diligent watcher and have quick reflexes. ;) - JA Castillo
I think I'm more concerned with her pulling down the whole tree than pulling individual ornaments off. She's learned to pull up on the couch, coffee table, etc. lately. If she grabs onto a branch of the tree and tries the pull up, the whole thing will tip over on top of her. - Rochelle
My roommates in college had a Chanukah Shrubbery as they called it (was some box shrub I think they dug up from a garden on campus) because they always wanted a tree but their parents would never buy one. - Andrew Leyden
Andrew, I've called ours a "Hanukkah hedge" before. :) - Rochelle
In the past we've attached a string from near the top of the tree to an inconspicuous anchor to reduce the risk of the tree being pulled down. - Bruce Lewis
Can you weigh down the base so that the tree is more stable? - Katy S
Not calling it a Christmas tree kinda ruins the joke about the three rabbis, doesn't it? http://www.netfunny.com/rhf... - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
Hah. Good one, Bruce. :) - Rochelle
We did what Bruce did, at the recommendation of our pediatrician. Though we used fishing line, so you couldn't even see it. We tied it at the middle of the trunk and anchored it to our curtain rods. Worked like a charm. And then only put safe ornaments at the bottom of the tree. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
3rding Bruce's suggestion. My kids were all in the really grabby toddler stage for Christmas 15 - 18 months. I just gave up on the idea of glass ornaments and went for wooden / metal. - Heather Solos
Andrew Leyden
Too many fat, dumb kids in America making military recruiting tougher. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...
About 75 percent of the country's 17- to 24-year-olds are ineligible for military service, largely because they are poorly educated, overweight and have physical ailments that make them unfit for the armed forces, according to a report to be issued Thursday. - Andrew Leyden
BreakingNewsOn (BNO News)
KXXV-TV: At least 20 people injured in Fort Hood shooting. Reports say 7 dead.
Bugger all. - Derrick
dammmmmmmmmm - VAL D.
Oh no. :-( - vicster
Very scary if they are not actually soldiers (i.e. terrorist attack). - Andrew Leyden
Are non-soldiers normally allowed on the base? - Rochelle
God. One of my best friends in the world is there. All phone lines are jammed. Freaked. - EricaJoy
Rochelle, Yes, anyone can go on post between 10am and 2pm, with out a pass. - Michelle Martinez

http://twitter.com/chrispi... - This is where I'm staying for [re]Think Hawaii, courtesy of @AlohaBruce and his crew. The room is spacious, the amenities are aplenty, and the bed gave me a very peaceful night's rest. - l0ckergn0me
The Hau Tree Lanai at the New Otani hotel, just nearby to where you are staying. Great view and worth visiting for breakfast one day. - Andrew Leyden
Louis Gray
Is the LinkedIn Platform Dead? - http://gigaom.com/2009...
oh, yet another death news. aren't people sick and tired of killing platforms? - Mengu
Their Serious Business PR is still rock solid Especially because they are slow to open up for privacy invasions running amok among other more "popular"social sites. - Bill Whetstone
I know many people who segregate LinkedIn off from Facebook or Friendfeed--different groups of friends for different social networks. Is there still a place for pure business connections who don't want to know what you had for breakfast or your score in Scrabble? I think so. - Andrew Leyden
Next: "LinkedIn killers" start popping up - TheIndustryStandard
That's pretty interesting. I use the Wordpress app on LinkedIn, but was wondering what others are available. Om links to a page where you can see all 10 (count 'em) apps. I can understand their worry about apps allowing mining of their data - with limited possibilities for interaction, the data is about all they've got. - Michael Slattery
monthly visit numbers have nearly doubled in the last 12 months...hard to think the platform would be dead...maybe just not the hellbent for leather place that we've grown to expect? http://siteanalytics.compete.com/linkedi... - jeff hammond
No. "adopted" by facebok :) - funkyboy from iPhone
Jen (SquirrelGirl)
After a week of not leaving the house because my daughter has the flu (probably H1N1 - she had a seasonal flu shot and all signs lead to this, though she wasn't tested), she finally woke up fever-free and is feeling good! Hurray!
And although we've missed a lot of fall/Halloween activities, it looks like Trick-or-Treating is still on. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Some tests on Air Force cadets (who had an outbreak last Summer) indicated that the H1N1 virus can survive about 24 hours after a fever/symptoms end. I'd give it a good day of no fever & no medication before sounding the all clear. - Andrew Leyden
Oh, I am. The week is a wash... I'm keeping her home. She still has a pretty bad cough, regardless. Just happy she's better. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

Loic Le Meur
it was my first time flying on Virgin America and I don't feel like flying any other airline after that. Everything is better.
It's great for short hops, but when you get nickled and dimed for every little thing from a baggage charge to a pillow it gets annoying. Just wait until you take a redeye when they jack the temperature very low to sell more blankets. - Andrew Leyden
BreakingNewsOn (BNO News)
KGO-TV: The CHP is preparing to shut down the Bay Bridge following a broken cable that snapped and hit several cars.
Didn't they just fix this bridge? - Andrew Leyden
O Snap! - Josh Haley from iPhone
that can't be good. - Eric @ CS Techcast
Just saw this on the news. That was a big chunk of steel that fell on a car! I'm beginning to think they should put those machines at each approach to the bridge, like the ones that sell flight insurance for air travel. These would have special extra coverages for each trip across the Bay Bridge. - Mark Jepsen
I heard about this on the radio. Traffic must be horrendous - Rodfather
Actually, there's no traffic at all on the bridge. - Glen Campbell from iPhone
Internet's Tad
Just finished folding laundry. I hit the clean underwear JACKPOT.
I LOVE doing laundry. I think I'll do some after work tomorrow. A drawer full of...um, clean drawers? WIN. - Derrick
I LOVE having clean clothes and linens but I hate doing laundry with the fire of 10,000 suns. I'd hate it a lot less if my apartment had a w/d hookup in it and I didn't have to share a laundry room. - vicster
I was on a two month overseas assignment with a major expense account and no time for laundry. The hotel laundry was more expensive then buying new underwear so I ended up with about 60 pairs thanks to Amazon. Never had a problem since then. - Andrew Leyden from iPhone
but nothing STILL beats new socks... - Liana Shanes
I dunno... Clean underwear > clean socks > just about everything else. - Internet's Tad from fftogo
Rochelle
How did you decide that your baby was ready for solids (beyond purees -- actual solids)? I bought some of those baby snack puff cracker things yesterday and tried to give them to Audrey but she just chokes and gags on them.
Bump. Any thoughts? - Rochelle
Those are pretty hard. Takes a bit of moisture to make them softer. Cheerios are actually a bit easier we found. We broke them into pieces to start. - Andrew Leyden
I know this is arbitrary, but thought has always been "when they get teeth, they're ready for solids" (i.e. when the first 2 tiny white specs appear on the bottom) In the mean time, you can try "Stage 1" baby foods, I suspect. - Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
Steve, we may have awhile yet. No teeth yet and when her doctor checked her last week, she said there was no sign of any teeth anytime soon. - Rochelle
I didn't bother with foods until they were actively trying to get my food and had the pincer grasp. - Heather Solos
Then I started with avocado & bananas (one at a time). - Heather Solos
Heather, she does both of those but just doesn't quite get the whole swallowing part yet. - Rochelle
K was eating solid food entirely too early. We didn't really decide, his g'parents just started slipping him table food. As soon as he was able, he was snatching food off our plates and hasn't stopped since. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Sean, I've done the normal Flu shot, but it's just a bit too scary to do the H1N1 due to how new it is. If I were higher risk it wouldn't be a question though. Even with normal Flu there still isn't much data to define whether it affects things like alzheimers, etc. - Jesse Stay
Whoa that's a trip - Rodfather
I admit I thought this was a hoax when I first saw it though - Jesse Stay
@jesse oh ya a h1n1 shot is way out of the question for me, far too early! I just showed my wife the video and she had to make sure I wasn't showing her an onion video. Just about crying at the end though, really heartbreaking. - sean percival
Scary - Eric Logan
Uhm...What....the EFF. I don't do flu shots. I don't see the point. It doesn't make sense. H1N1 is no more exciting to me than the regular flu. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I don't know if her condition was really caused by a flu shot. Maybe she had it all this time and it was triggered by the flu shot? - Rodfather
Either way, I don't see the point of getting the flu shot. It's not as if my body can't fight the flu on it's own. The shot is an unnecessary variable. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Rodfather, hard to say - some neurologists say that conditions like this could be caused by vaccines like this. We simply don't have enough data yet to know for sure. IMO take it if you're in a high risk category. I'm not fully against it - I'll only take it if I can't afford the downtime though. (or if I were high risk) - Jesse Stay
The H1N1 shot is in a sense not really for you -- it is to limit the chance you will get it and spread it to others. - Brian Sullivan
Be wise - that's all I can say. As my Aunt who's a doctor said, it's up to you to make a wise decision. Only you can decide what's best for you. - Jesse Stay
holy crap..I had no idea, thanks for sharing! - Chris Myles
Has Snopes confirmed this one? - Kamilah Gill
Kamilah, it's an established news source - pretty sure this isn't a hoax - Jesse Stay
Which source is it? Still could be a hoax (think back umm.... about a week or so ago?) - Kamilah Gill
The reporter is Deborah Norvil (sp?) from InsideEdition. I find it hard to believe she made up the video - here's another source: http://www.nbcwashington.com/news... - Jesse Stay
post hoc ergo propter hoc - Matthew DeVries
Here's the story of a healthy kid who didn't get the shot. He died from complications arising out of a suspected H1N1 case a mere seven days after his first visit to the hospital, despite doctors amputating his legs in an attempt to stave off further complications. If you want to go without a shot, at the very least look at the warning signs of a "severe" infection. http://www.abc2news.com/news... - Andrew Leyden
Here's a news source that kinda refutes the original: http://www.examiner.com/x-13791... - ronin
Let's clarify, according to Snopes, for one thing, this was from a regular flu shot, not H1N1. And ++Andrew. People need to keep in mind the very real risks of skipping out on vaccinations. There's too much fixation on these isolated adverse effects that may not have even been caused by the shots. - Kamilah Gill
I ignored this story at first, and now you are telling me it's a true story? - Frederick Bvalani
So it's all in her head? - Rodfather
Wow, that's shocking. Never heard of this condition before until I saw the video. - imabonehead
It actually sounds like conversion disorder. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article... The symptoms demonstrated don't seem to fit with an anatomical lesion of the brain. At least, it doesn't seem typical of dystonia. Of course, I should probably know better than to try and diagnose something with nothing but video. - Victor Ganata

Don't know anyone personally, but a friend of a friend just died from complications related to a suspected H1N1 infection. From initial hospital visit to his death (following the futile amputation of his legs to stem the infection) was all of 7 days. http://www.wbaltv.com/news... - Andrew Leyden
I don't know about other places, but in Seattle, they are not testing for H1N1 unless you're hospitalized so people who come out of clinics saying they have it all are just "suspected cases" - not confirmed. - Rochelle
My niece/god daughter has it and so may my nephew - RAPatton from iPhone
Rochelle, right, in the Bay Area, my pediatrician told me she believes that right now they're only testing post-mortem or in very serious cases. But she also said she believes that CDC's assertion that 99% of flu cases in the U.S. right now are probably H1N1. - Stephen Mack
I imagine it's the same for most metropolitan areas. The L.A. County Dept of Health Services pretty much recommended that we stop testing non-emergent outpatient cases back in May. - Victor Ganata
I lost a friend in the Sacramento Area to hamthrax earlier this year. - Neal Krummell
Stephen, yeah. I'm just irked by people who are saying "OMG I HAVE H1N1" when in actuality, they don't know that for sure. My mom works at an elementary school and the parents are in near-riot there over it. - Rochelle
Neal, I'm sorry to hear that. - Kevin Fox

Can the flu kill you? Yes. But then why haven't you been freaking out every September? I think it's the inconsistency of the panic that's really getting to me.
Yeah, totally with you. The risk is the same regardless if it's swine flu or flu flu. - Alex Scoble
Isn't the real issue is that there is potential for a lot more people getting infected than normal (thus the term pandemic) -- even if the risk of dying is the same once you get it? So the net effect could be that a lot more people will die. - Brian Sullivan
Yes, Brian. - Christopher A Carr
Alex, define 'same'? You mean dead=dead? Because fron what I understood the mortality rate of H1N1 is higher than the average flu for every age group except the elderly who already have an immunity (if even them). - Kevin Fox
Is it actually higher because of the mechanisms of the flu or because of the populations that have been infected? Isn't it difficult to compare the statistics of a large population (flu flu stats) vs a much smaller one (swine flu stats)? - Alex Scoble
Moral of the story - don't be stupid - Jesse Stay
If you want to see a really nasty varient of H1N1 then look at the death rates of the spanish flu that hit after WW1, then compare to the rates of this mexican varient of H1N1 (swine flu)... The numbers are too low to derive any meaningful prognosis over how lethal to the general populace it is as the figures can be too easily skewed - alphaxion
Well, from recent figures for Minnesota, there's a notably higher incidence of H1N1 related hospitalizations of people under 25 years of age, as compared with the typical seasonal flu. Otherwise healthy children, teenagers and young adults (i.e. those without other contributing factors such as a chronic illness or debilitating condition) are becoming seriously ill from the H1N1 flu... more... - Mark Jepsen
Alex: I don't know about rates of infection, but I do have hard data on pediatric flu-related deaths, and I can tell you that H1N1 has already killed more children than the normal flu does in a typical year, and it's still ramping up: http://www.cdc.gov/flu... - Kevin Fox
OK...color me wrong then. - Alex Scoble
"Between April 15 and July 24, 2009, there were 43,771 confirmed and probable cases of H1N1 influenza (“swine flu”) in the U.S. There were 5,011 hospitalizations and 302 deaths, 39 percent among those aged 25 to 49, in contrast to the usual flu where 90 percent of the deaths are in people over age 65. For comparison, the more common strains of flu have been killing around 36,000 people... more... - Christopher A Carr
I wonder if there's a way to tease out how much of these numbers are due to increased surveillance alone. - Victor Ganata
Color me wrong, but Kevin also wrong? *scratches head* - Alex Scoble
This is why I wash my hands every September. - Ha3rvey (more more more) from fftogo
Gee, I wash my hands all the time, not just in September... =) - Andrew C
Victor: Do you think there's possibly *that* much more surveillance as compared to the last 10 or so flu seasons? - Christopher A Carr
The cases of death in this, so I hear, are only in those with complications. So if you already have a pre-existing condition, etc. be sure you have the vaccine. (again, don't be stupid) - Jesse Stay
Jesse, that isn't correct. It was just announced last week that a six-year old died in Minnesota of H1N1, and he was perfectly healthy prior to the flu infection. His two siblings became ill at the same time, then recovered normally. The six year old mirrored their symptoms for a few days, then abruptly became critically ill. He died in an ambulance before outside the family's house... more... - Mark Jepsen
Christopher: certainly people are more panicked about flu-like symptoms this season. I imagine that's going to translate into more testing. The numbers are still in the same magnitude of order as regular flu hospitalizations and fatalities--it's not like the numbers have doubled or tripled. - Victor Ganata
Mark, I'm curious if there are similar stories like that for normal flu - Jesse Stay
Just being in the age range of 0-18 years old puts you at higher risk for the regular flu, let alone the H1N1 flu, though. Even more at risk is the 0-5 year old bracket. - Victor Ganata
There have been a few non-complication deaths lately. One thing scaring doctors about h1n1 is the speed at which it moves from mild annoyance to hospital to death. In some cases it is just a few days, barely allowing time for treatment to take place. - Andrew Leyden from iPhone
I'm honestly not trying to sensationalize this. The point I'm trying to make is that (at least here) health officials are looking very carefully at all possible causes of illness and death before making a statement whether or not H1N1 was the primary cause, with no underlying factors. If you consider that fact, and the point in the perceived emergence timeline for the virus, simply... more... - Mark Jepsen
Yes, I agree that we need to be aware. We need to practice universal precautions. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, wash your hands frequently. Don't go to school or work if you have a fever. But I really think that panicking and flooding the ERs with mild cases is going to be counterproductive. Taking antiviral medication when you don't have the flu for sure and don't have comorbidities that put you at higher risk is going to be counterproductive and likely to make things much worse. - Victor Ganata
If you get ARDS from the flu (H1N1 or otherwise), that's actually not an uncommon presentation: mild illness rapidly progressing to respiratory failure and possibly death. What's scary is that otherwise healthy people seem to be actually more likely to present this way. But this isn't 1918, when we didn't have mechanical ventilators or ICUs. I'm not convinced this is going to kill us all. - Victor Ganata
Victor, that has been my education as well - most cases in 1918 we didn't have the technology to a) even know if it was H1N1, and b) know what other factors might have caused it. Also, factors such as smoking, drinking, caffeine intake, etc. weren't tracked back then either. - Jesse Stay
According to the CDC, from April to August, the rate of hospitalization is about the same as you would expect from the seasonal flu during the flu season (although the summer is usually outside of the flu season.) The incidence of pneumonia (of all causes) has been on par with what usually happens in the summer. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr... - Victor Ganata
This is a fascinating page: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/ Virtually all current cases of the flu in the USA are H1N1, and the younger you are the more likely you'll develop serious health issues from it. This is in no way the 'normal' flu, and it should be underscored that most young people who have contributing factors have undiagnosed contributing factors, so it's a fallacy to assume... more... - Kevin Fox
Victor: Through August? Bah. Look at this chart: http://www.cdc.gov/flu... The end of August is when the red line crosses the dotted line. Check out what's been happening over the last 7 weeks and you'll see a completely different story. - Kevin Fox
Kevin, that graph shows the percentage of outpatient visits that are due to flu-like symptoms, not actual confirmed cases of H1N1 flu. I'm unsurprised by this, considering how much panic the media is inciting. - Victor Ganata
It's also misleading to believe that because the numbers have gotten so high so early, that they're going to keep climbing and surpass the numbers from previous years. It could very well be that we'll just reach the peak earlier, too. - Victor Ganata
Victor: Is this one more to your liking? http://www.cdc.gov/flu... Virtually all flu sent out for typing is H1N1, and the uptick velocity (integral of teh previous chart) is higher than previous years. Nobody knows whether it'll burn itself out before it becomes more pervasive, or what the level of natural resistance is. Only time will tell. - Kevin Fox
*grabs popcorn* This is a very interesting back and forth...seriously. - Alex Scoble
True. "Could" covers a wide range in both directions, doesn't it? Which begs caution, not panic nor dismissiveness. Simple, prudent caution. BTW, this link provides a fairly recent summary of the state of current findings in Minnesota, though it is lacking in case-by-case specifics: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display... - Mark Jepsen
Here's my two cents: the reason the younger folk are more apt to contract the flu is because paranoid helicopter parents have wiped them down with disinfectant every 12 seconds for their entire life. There has been no way for them to build an immunity to anything. Also, where is the discussion on the use of agivents (sp?) in the vaccine? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from iPod
So, yeah, we've known that we've been at pandemic levels of H1N1 cases since June. But what we don't yet know is how severe things are going to get. So far it doesn't look terrible. Yes, it could be that it will get much worse during the Northern hemispheric winter months. Or things might level off, given the fact that so many people have already been exposed to the virus. I agree with Mark's sentiments. We just don't know. But even if it gets as bad as 1918, is panic really the best way to deal with it? - Victor Ganata
"[T]he overwhelming majority of persons worldwide infected with the new H1N1 virus continue to experience uncomplicated influenza-like illness, with full recovery within a week, even without medical treatment. " -- WHO Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 briefing note 13 http://www.who.int/csr... - Victor Ganata
"[T]he risk of severe or fatal illness is highest in three groups: pregnant women, especially during the third trimester of pregnancy, children younger than 2 years of age, and people with chronic lung disease, including asthma. Neurological disorders can increase the risk of severe disease in children." -- WHO Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 briefing note 13 http://www.who.int/csr... - Victor Ganata
"But even if it gets as bad as 1918, is panic really the best way to deal with it?" Have I managed to miss the widespread panic? Seems to me irrational, quick dismissing of the issue, and anti-vax nut-baggery, are bigger problems. - Christopher A Carr
A lot of people I've seen are totally freaking out about the H1N1 flu. It's really not going to do us a lot of good if the ERs get packed by people who have mild flu-like symptoms who are going to get better on their own. - Victor Ganata
Panic and hysteria is never productive. The best response is informed action best on best information available at the time (and, concomitantly, working to improve the quality and timeliness of that information.) responding as though the sky is falling is certainly foolish, responding as though everything is just fine is potentially foolish (for those who could have accessed the vaccine) and for those who are ultimately uninfected or recover quickly, it becomes a normal flu outbreak. --more-- - Mark Jepsen
So, figure out which group you're going to fall into (or more importantly, which your kids are likely to fall into.) But bear in mind that even if you don't get vaccinated, acquire the infection, and recover just fine, you may have infected several others, some of whom may not have the same outcome. (Ditto for your kids.) - Mark Jepsen

I agree with Rochelle and Shevonne. My mum used to read that to me and she bought us kids all copies of it just a few years ago (when we were all grown up) as a holiday gift. Totally made us cry, even my brother. - joey
Little Gorilla: http://www.amazon.com/Little-... We got this as a gift when our first son was born. It's a very simple book with a message that is sweet and comforting without being saccharine. It's also not extremely well-known so you aren't quite so likely to duplicate other gifts. - Steve is older than ever
Good Night Moon - Victor Ryden
Goodnight Gorilla also gets time here. - Joe Silence is not dead
Goodnight Moon is the first book my oldest memorised from beginning to end. she used to recite it to me for fun at bedtime. :) - Joe Silence is not dead
Goodnight Moon is definitely my favorite-been reading it to Nate since he was born and he still loves it at 4. - Kelly W.
@Richard Scarry fans - love his books and we have MANY of them, but they're definitely best for the 2 and up crowd. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
Never read Love You Forever. Will have to check it out. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
+1 for Goodnight moon, Goodnight Gorillia, and I much prefer "Guess How Much I Love You" to "Love you forever", especially considering my great grandma just passed away. Love You Forever is just way too much of a tear jerker to make it on the nightly reading list. - Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
Love Guess How Much I Love You... but it's definitely more for the parents than the kids. I've shed a tear reading that. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)
The Big Red Barn (same author as Goodnight Moon) - Stephen Mack
Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel, if it is a boy. But more to the point--if it is an infant, I would recommend the first book be a 'board' book, i.e. the pages are made of hard cardboard, not just paper. Paper paged books rarely last beyond the first year given an infants desire to grab, hold, and whatever. - Andrew Leyden
Goodnight Moon or Velveteen Rabbit - R1CC1
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. - Mellissa Jane
