Million Post March. When will NAXJA reach 1 million posts?

[5-90]

OK, I've been using 30posts/page for a while now, and - I don't know...it just seems like it's too far to scroll. I think I'll try 5pp :thumbup:

I like it - I just wish I could also put up more threads per page on the "index" display... That's what I originally though that option was.

Scrolling? As long as it's the active window, there's no problem using PgUP/PgDn or the arrow keys...

Keys? Hadn't thought of that

I'd looked at that index feature. I didn't have much use for it. It truncates the really long, interesting threads so that just when it might be useful - it isn't :dunno:

Good morning everyone!

Gawd, I just hate when people are chirpy in the morning... Don't you realise that some of us are nocturnal? :eyes:

Both sons tried to lie to me this morning.

It was just about time to leave for school and I knew that neither had brushed their teeth. I go to find them and they're lying on our bed watching CNN. 'Now that's weird' I think. 'Something's going on.'

"You guys brushed?" The 11yo says nothing. The 6yo, very quiet and not looking at me, "Yes"

'hmm.' I think. I go and check their brushes. Both dry. I go back to the bedroom. "If you've both brushed, then why are both of your tooth brushes dry?"

Neither say anything but the 6yo slips off the bed and heads for the bathroom. The 11yo still has said nothing - he's just laying there watching CNN. I take a step closer. "If you've brushed your teeth, how is your tooth brush dry?" Nothing.

I leave the bedroom and come back with his Nintendo DS. "This is mine for a week." "NO!" "Talk to me. Did you brush your teeth?" Nothing, again. I leave the bedroom once more - now he follows me. I go to the PC, turn it on, hit the CD-ROM Open button and start to lift out his brand new Diablo II Extension disc. "NO!" "Talk to me!" Subdued now, "My brush is dry because I didn't brush my teeth."

So, I gave him a lecture on how lying is not the way to take control of your life. The way to take control of your life is to step up and do the things that are right to do, and to take pride in doing what is right. You can't take pride in lying. Just do what is right.

Why do they pull this crap on my in the morning? They got to figure that morning is the most dangerous time to try to cross me. They're lucky I've been working on controlling my temper.

But, what really worries me about all this is: Why didn't they go and wet they're brushes before they tried to pull a stunt like that? I know they're smarter than that. I mean, they get good grades in school. How could they not think to at least wet the brushes before lying about brushing?

It's going to be a long, long life. I can tell, already.

We deal with this from time to time as well. My 5-yr old daughter doesn't like to shower since we moved into the new house because the first day here they saw some spiders and beatles in the basement bathroom. So she has a melt-down everytime we accuse her of not showering, then she tries again. Hair is still dry, try again. Damp this time, still smells dirty, try again. A few weeks ago I actually asked her if she wants me to help, she said yes so out the the backyard we went and she showered under the hose. I really hoped that would cure it but while she's shivering her way back to her room she tells her brother is wasn't that bad. *sigh*, what does it take??

My poor son didn't belive me when I told him he needed to use less milk on his cereal and eat everything he puts in his bowl. He kept taking a second full bowl, eat a few bits and waste the rest. One day I made him eat the leftover cereal for lunch after it had been getting soggy for several hours. He was trying hard to gag it down, convulsing every now and again and really learning a few things in the process. I couldn't take too much of it so I told him to dump it, but next time he'd eat the whole thing. Haven't had a problem since, and the whole family jokes about having "old milk" for lunch.

So far I'm having the best time of my life!!

Because they hadn't thought of that yet. Trust me, by tomorrow morning, they will have learned to wet their brushes before lying to you...

So everyone, what did you have for breakfast today?

Oh, yeah. Been there. "Did you wash your hair?" "Yes, sir." "It's still dry above your ears." "No it's not." "I'm looking at it!" "I washed my hair." "How is it still dry?" "It's wet!" "Why are you arguing with me? Go wash your hair." That one was hilarious. He swore up and down he'd washed his hair.

Last night, the wife and our 8-month old daughter had dinner ready before the boys and I got home because we had to be at baseball practice by 1730 and Cub Scouts by 1830.

What's the first thing the 6yo says when he walks into the house? "What stinks?!" :smack him up side the head: "Cauliflower." "I hate callieflower!" "Sit down and eat, boy." He ate - I guarantee

So far I'm having the best time of my life!!

Wouldn't change it for anything!!

And don't I know it!

By Rx from their dentist and orthodontist, they are suposed to brush for 3 minutes, spit-n-rinse, brush floride goop for 1 minute, spit only, then floss. Somehow they can accomplish all of that in just under 45 seconds

"I told you to brush!" "I did." "Not in under one minute you didn't. How long do you think you were in there?"

I don't know. I'm really starting to worry about them. They are from Texas, after all

So everyone, what did you have for breakfast today?

A Dagwood of left over meatloaf, leftover roast beef, deli ham, balogna, and deli turkey with mayo, mustard and cheese.

A little place down the road called sim's. They have lots of good artery clogging southern fried breakfasts. I had sausage-gravy & biscuits, eggs, bacon, and a side of hashbrowns. Mmmmm...
