( 25 Chicago Students Arrested for a Middle-School Food Fight )
If your child were one of the ones arrested, what would you do? Your child participated but wasn't arrested?

Last week one of my friends had her first baby. All she wanted was her mother there & ended up sobbing & crying out for her about half way through the birth.
Her mother though, refused to come to the hospital because my friends father & step mother were there. My friend refused to send her father & step mum away but still pleaded with her mum to come & be with her. In the end her step mum stayed with her & did all of the usual grandmummy things.
Now my friends mother is livid that the step mum stepped in & essentially 'took her place'. Her argument is that no matter what, she's the mother & no one has the right to 'step into her shoes'.
If you were my friend, how would you react?
Do you think that the mother has the right to be angry?

So I'm sure many of you have heard about the teenage boy who was doused with rubbing alcohol and set ablaze by a group of other kids. Three of them are being charged as adults.
I can't find it right now, but on some news website, commenters were debating about whether the parents of the alleged attackers are partially responsible for what happened to the victim. Because they were underage and still young, the parents supposedly should have raised them to not set people on fire.
If a teenager (about 15 years old) is involved in such an attack, do you believe that the parents are at least partly responsible, even if they weren't present? Or does all of the responsibility fall on the attacker?

i was out feeding the critters and giving hula duck and mingming their nightly shower in their pool and was sad because they will not have that for much longer when the temps drop, i love them, but not enough to freeze my ass off for 15 minutes standing there with a hose spraying them. lol

So we're watching an SG-1 rerun, and they say something about beaming a guy directly to the bridge.
J.: That's not cool. What if he was in the middle of taking a dump or something?
Me: maybe when they beam you, the dump gets left behind.
J.: Heh.
Me: One day, we will have the technology to have your shit beamed directly out of your rectum!
J.: Man, that would be awesome! You won't have to waste time on the crapper anymore!
Me: Until your sphincter atrophies from lack of use, or something.
J.: Ewwwww.
Me: And old people will be all "Back in the good ol' days when you pinched yer own loaves..."
J.: "Uphill, both ways, in ten feet of snow, and we only had three seashells to wipe with."
Me: WRONG SCI FI. And now I want Taco Bell.

Should adult children be allowed to sue their parents for non-abusive practices that harmed them? For example, there is nothing inherently abusive about smoking in front of kids, but if the second-hand smoke caused respiratory problems, or led to chronic ear infections which damaged hearing, the lifetime medical bills could be extensive.
As I mentioned in the last ICD entry, the giant sinkhole that took out a fifty foot wide swath of the Manhan Rail Trail last year has been fixed. As you probably noticed, yesterday was a pretty sweet day. Nearly 70 in November, can't complain about that. Perfect day for a bike ride on the again fully intact trail. Above is a shot of what was until recently, the biggest sinkhole Easthampton's ever seen. Here are a couple more of the fix. I'm guessing if the rail trail is again attacked by a giant sinkhole, this would probably be the safest place on the 4.2 mile stretch to be.
A few more random shots from my ride...
The Ferry Street haunted house could use a little stimulus money...
Maybe someday I'll be able to dig back through my inventory of local shots and be able to use this one as a 'before shot'...
Or is it the Manhan Cat Trail?...
The old factory footbridge, now just an interesting photo opp on Lower Mill Pond...
There are still a few reminders of the trail's original use to be found along the trail...
I had a bit more daylight and couldn't resist the temptation to wander around the edge of the Nashawannuck mud flats...
A few interesting bits to be seen...
Apologies to those who live, or have lived, in Millwaukee. I'm fairly certain this isn't their best...
Soas to not end on such a down note, here's another curious discovery...
Hope you're enjoying this balmy little indian summer, leaves be darned.

I opted not to dig underneath this brick and risk the chance of actually finding out what died on that date. Intriguing though...

Is it important to teach your child "proper English" and squash any accent, be it a southern accent, Midwestern accent, Ebonics, et cetera? (Assuming they have an accent you don't have because they live part time with another parent, because people at school have one, et cetera.)
though I'm not fully sure what it was. But my stomach is cramping *madly*. Hope peppermint tea helps because I have nothing else here that's good for upset digestive systems, since I never have one (I get nauseous during migraines, but that's different that stomach-based nausea).
Whuffle and I have been watching some of the "Old School" Sesame Street DVDs with Caleb. It's reminded me just how much fun they are. I'm the oldest of 5 kids, the youngest of which is 16 years younger than I. As a result Sesame Street was pretty much ALWAYS on when I was growing up, so I never really remember a point where somoene wasn't watching it.
I hadn't watched Sesame Street since moving out of my parents house. Elmo rose into view and his squeaking voice set my nerves on edge. As a result it was with somewhat fresh eyes that I watched the "Old School" Sesame Street DVDs from the early days of the program. One rather surprising and totally inappropriate realization was just how much my taste in women was shaped by the show. I'd had a HUGE crush on Maria as a kid and on a whim decided to look up some information on her today.
Maria is played by Sonia Manzano. She's won 15 Emmy Awards for her writing on Sesame Street and her New York state performance in The Vagina Monologues apparently drew rave reviews. Yes, I'm having trouble parsing that, and I can't help but wonder WHICH pieces she read. She's very active in efforts to get kids to read and she's a political blogger.

In the far future a crack commando unit was sent to Arus to escape King Zarkon who wanted them for a crime they didn’t commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to Princess Allura’s underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as pilots of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you really need five robotic lions who can become a giant robot, maybe you can hire the V-Team.
Commander ‘Hannibal’ Keith: All right you screw-ups. Let’s go. We have to get the lions moving and go save that little girls father from evil farmers.
‘Howling Mad’ Lance: Come on, Hannibal! Let’s just use Voltron and step on him!
Mr. Sven: I pity the foo’ who gets stepped on!
Hunkface: Whatever, you guys let’s just go.
** Later, after 27 explosions, three scenes involving crying children and a montage of action footage **
Commander ‘Hannibal’ Keith: I love it when five lions come together. And form a giant robot. Let’s go back to base.
‘Howling Mad’ Lance: Can’t we stay for pie?!
Mr. Sven: I’m not gettin’ on no flying lion robot.
Hunkface: You just did. You always do. Hello?
Mr. Sven: Well. This time. Fine.
What is your opinion of "monster spray" and other such things?
Is it a good way to calm a child's fears?
Is it just silly pandering to nonsense?
Do you worry it confirms the child's fear that monsters do exist?
Are you just glad your kid isn't scared of the boogie man any more?
