This is just the best cake... **BRENT**

The video from the link Santa posted. I almost posted this a couple days ago... This place is about a mile and a half from my apartment. "My people" are rather Slow Forum worthy this week, it seems. **BRENT**

Have you tried cayenne pepper? **BRENT**

3 months, 5 days, and 6 hours from the time you posted... but who's counting. **BRENT**

To you football fans, watch to see the worst of the day... It's my old high school. The 2nd person was a grade ahead of me, and the 3rd was I think a grade behind me at the rival school (where I went in elementary school). Good times! **BRENT**

Filet au poivre with a cognac peppercorn reduction Not pictured: Calamari with chipotle honey mustard and the potato soup with cheese and bacon. Neither pictured nor consumed: grand enigma, Zoë, Xavier **BRENT**

You're still dead to me. **BRENT**

So I started SO's birthday thread, and was looking for a pic (that I didn't find), but I found the meet thread from Dec 5, 2009. I saw a pic of most everyone at a Cuban place, and just got some warm fuzzies. I <3 you guys, and like most of the others, I wish I could be there with you all. **BRENT** Edit: I realize what I meant to say, from looking at that thread, was how funny it was to me. People still posted meet impressions, of GEAR!, as little as 4 years ago. My, how we've grown.

Happy b-day, my fellow non-pigmentally challenged friend! I hope many Grados and cougars fall into/onto your lap today! Oh, and a pair of JH|Audio Roxannes. **BRENT**

I <3 this picture! **BRENT**

They all ride proper cycles, SO... it makes cameras make you look skinnier. **BRENT**

SO JEALOUS! **BRENT**

Kill floors **BRENT**

Heh. It was a better movie than the RottenTomatoes score indicates. The kids had wanted to see it and it was at the cheap theater. Guess I forgot to put it in the movies thread **BRENT**

Dusty, that raft thing is from Grown-Ups 2. **BRENT**

Shouldn't you be asking if you can be Watson's +1? **BRENT**

That would look great on my wall art/road bike! Maybe they'll do it in 2015 as well. **BRENT**

Zup :whale: ? Listen to Nate. You'll be OK if you do that. **BRENT**

Amputate and take step 1 towards becoming a cyborg. That's my recommendation. **BRENT**

**BRENT**

Get a prescription for Senna tablets. **BRENT**

Justin... I've found that when Al yells at you to do something, you should do it. **BRENT**

With the routine/bedtimes, I started it a few years back. I had rigid bedtimes throughout the week with later ones (but still set) on weekends. They enjoyed crashing in the living room and watching TV while they fell asleep. I gave them the option of either Friday or Saturday night to eschew the beds for the couch, and by letting them have just a little bit of choice in the matter, it has helped to keep them from pushing back against the rigidity of the rest of the bedtime routine. Also, the brushing of teeth and a hug/kiss routine at bed has been in effect since day one as well. 38 months in and it's worked great for me. An occasional extra 15-30 minutes to unwind if we get home late works too. My kids are almost 11 and 8, respectively, and they set their own alarms and get ready in the mornings by themselves. They're pretty great. **BRENT**

It's rewarding... But I'm about to start month 5 of this go-round. I've done it a few months to a year at a time in the past. Maybe it's part of the reason I feel like an old man in my early 30s. **BRENT**
