Ah! So...in a year or so you're going to be promoted from "dad" to "babysitter"?

Babysitter? That's my Mrs.' job.*
I prefer to be viewed by the youngin's as something more akin to Mr. Wizard with piggy-back rides.
* Events like 'diaper change' and 'puke sopping' are, in my opinion, purely spectator sports.

You rang? Oh no? Nevermind.
Congrats.

This is very serious actually. A study from 2006 established that grand parents in France spend 23 millions of hours a week babysitting grand children. This is ... huge !

Oh, no - it's a promotion all right!
Over the last bunch of years, the amount of actual "dad" work tends to drop off as they become independent. After the promotion though, they can dump as much work as they like on you!

True! True!

Guilty as charged.
I suppose another congrats is in place then.
You get the best of both worlds. You get to spoil a kid rotten whenever it fits you.
And whenever they get loud, obnoxious or smelly you just hand them over and say goodbye.

There is little more satisfying than have your daughter state "sh*t mum I sound just like you!". Made the wife laugh and laugh and laugh, admittedly it was a thoroughly evil laugh.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Grandchildren and grandparents get along so well together because they have a common enemy.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You must be psychotic psychic: the Briss was yesterday.
After the snipping he was given a bit of wine and quickly quieted down. I expect that this AM he woke up with a hangover and a sore putz - welcome to the real world!

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a while, but now that I need something I'm crawling back.
Anyways, there is a magazine in Canada called "Cineplex" that has a blurb about a comedy show I run.
The issue is March/April 2015, Volume 16, Number 3. It has the Shailene Woodley on the cover.
The blurb is on the bottom of page 8 under "The Art of Film" You guys might like it, a fellow comic and friend of mine paints classic pictures with Chewbacca in them. Here is a link to the digital version, scroll to page 8.

Anyways, I'm seeking a physical copy of the whole issue, for my comedy scrapbook. If any Canadians have a copy laying around or can grab one, I'll paypal over some reimbursement for shipping and your trouble ($5 sound okay?).

You can post it as an ad in some newspaper, and you might get a positive response.

Hey, you're not Canadian. Out! Out! Get! Get! Shoooo!

I may be able to help with this. Give me an hour or so to make a call.

LMTCB (left a message to call back) and have my daughter looking at grabbing one for you - in mint condition.

Can you get me a mint copy of Action Comics #1 -- also for five bucks?

Just a suggestion - if you look at wizardzz's original post, it includes an "Email" link, which means you can continue without either of you giving out physical address details in public?

I got a P.O. box. Actually a friends P.O. Box.

I'd still not give it out over the internet in a public forum, myself!

You're no fun! I never said we were good friends!

Seriously though, I wouldn't give out my address on here. I was going to have him call me first.

If you've got a private email facility, you may as well use it...
