Paranoia and Pussies

Thursday, March 27, 2008


Lately there has been a wave of paranoia going around blogger. Understand that the internet can be a scarry place, but there are a few precautions you can take. I guess one of those precautions (and the one preferred by many) is to make you blog private. I guess this works, but why would you want to do this. Yeah, you protect your family from crazies out there, but isn't there another way to do that, simply don't post too much personal information.

Anyway, as a result of this paranoia, I have deleted a number of links to blogs on my site. Apparantly they were paranoid, but didn't feel that I should be included in their privacy, so good bye. I know Amanda has also deleted at least one blog from her list because she was not invited to see it anymore. I know there are some people out there (including some of my friends) who have received really creepy messages, some about their kids. And if you want to go private, that is great, just know that if you decide not to invite me to your blog, I won't be asking for an invitation. If you do invite me, I will gladly read your blog whenever I get around to it.



As for the pussies out there. These are the people who are brave enough to leave mean comments on blogs, but scared to leave their names. How ridiculous is this? How hard is it to type your name at the bottom of the comment? I tend to be somewhat passive aggressive, unless you get me in a particular mood, but come on, if it is something you wouldn't say to another person's face, and leaving it as a comment is the only way you dare say something, at least have the balls to leave your name.

Naja, so ist das Leben.

It's time for him to start eating cereal

Wednesday, March 19, 2008


So, it has been almost a month since I last posted. I figured it was time I do another post. So on Monday I took Spencer into the pediatrician for his six-month check-up. He weighs 19 lbs, and is 29.5" tall. That is 75% and 98% respectively. His head is a little small, but the doctor says it is growing great, plus his head doesn't look small, so if it was much bigger he might look like he has a big head.
So when the doctor entered the room and saw him, he said "That kid isn't 6 months!" Yeah, we get that a lot. Then he said, "So he's eating a lot of cereal, right?" To which I answered (because he told us not to feed him cereal until the doctor had told us it was ok) "No he is just on formula." He responded, "It's time for him to start eating cereal."
After the doctor left, the nurse came back in to give the shots. One oral vaccine and three shots, but they were out of one of the shots, so Amanda will have to take him back in this week. He took the shots well (in part because our nurse is so good at giving them) he jumped when the first needle went in, then started crying for the second one, but only cried for about 20-30 seconds. He's tough, just like his dad.
Anyway, I will try to be better about posting more frequently, but the interesting things that happen in my life are usually posted on Amanda's blog.

Servus.
