Just make sure he bawls the entire time. They won't mind if you get up and leave.
Tips - Don't hold him, don't feed him and no Nuk!
He'll never remember how terrible you were to him on that one day and you won't have to socialize...unless you want to.

Tomorrow is my first Sunday back at church since getting on bedrest. I have to admit, I feel pretty weird about it, just because everyone has been dying to see the baby, and I hate to have everyone hovering over us the entire time.
Maybe I'll just sit with him in the hallway.
Aww...come on, show off your beautiful baby!

I don't think anybody truly understands how big of a dork I really am so I'll spell it out for you. My earlier references to reconnaissance probe droids were actually true. Well, they're not really droids but Perl scripts that I've developed to automatically download the Top20 page on a periodic basis, parse out a list of member names and populate them into a CSV file for reporting.
My intent behind this is to see who our actual competition is and determine whether or not there is a day of the week when their numbers are thinnest. I've only been running it a few days now, but by the time the Season Finale rolls around there should be enough data to influence your decision on a strike date.
End transmission.

We'll see.
39 (Well, 40 now) is a pretty low count for a top 20 poster. Muffy...Sammy... What happened?! I'd say I'm speechless, but I obviously have lots to say.
The Count sighting was nice too. I've run out of tricks to get her to play with us. Once the weather reports and the U2 haikus fail to grab her attention... Uh...

That may be the first time I've been top poster for a while, and I'm not liking it very much. It was due to a very cranky baby who has made me hold him every minute of the day....well, that and D came back.

This is true. We might have to enlist the Mods assistance for that one.
Or we could keep making cracks about him in the Kiddie Table or Beer Me threads.

I don't know if that will work with me, Darth. There's no rhyme or reason to my baby's schedule. Some days he sleeps and I can run around with my kids, other times I'm stuck sitting on the couch most of the day while he cries.
Do you have a formula for that variable? If you do, I'd sure like to know.

Sorry to carry the thread way off topic....
....it's been a long time since I had to deal with a crying baby on a daily basis. But I could tell the difference between certain cries. There's a different quality to hungry, in pain, tired and "I'm spoiled and bored so just stop what you're doing and pick me up" crying.

Alas, you have laid bare the weakness of my plan... I never could find the right mathematical algorithm for zombie mommies...
Even if this data doesn't result in the perfect day of the week to strike, it will still provide me with a list of consistent Top20 posters to research further. Maybe I can figure out a way to... uhhh...

Yes, mine is definitely just the "I want to be held" cry. The moment I pick him up, he stops...until I put him down again. My daughter was like this too and it nearly drove me insane as a new mom. But since he's my third, I've kind of adopted the attitude of, "I know, babe, life sucks, I'm just helping you get used to it now."

May 1 2007, 04:15 AM
yeah, when I am feeding the cat, I say "Say Please?" and she meows and after I feed her I say "Say thank you" and she meows. they are definitely different. Did you know cats meow at people, but not other cats?
Muffy, as for the baby cries, I understand that a mother would know her own baby, but I find it hard to believe some strange lady could figure out what is wrong with everyone else's baby. Hope he gets happy soon! And gets on a schedule.
