I have a plan in place. I'll take the kiddos to the theater twice a year. Once for the annual Warren Miller film, once for the annual Meatheads film. :lol:

Smart!
Now you're thinking! so you don't mind going to the theater as long as it's for ski porn?
I go for the schwag only truthfully
So, if regular movie theaters gave out good schwag you might be more inclined to go?

I have a VIP pass (free tickets) to our local multi-plex theatre. Haven't been there myself in 15 years but do occasionally pick up tickets for my daughter & her friends.

I love netflix, I might see 2 movies in the theater a year..
If they're giving out free lift tickets at the local Batman movie, I'm there!
(and would probably leave after 20 minutes just like at Warren Miller movies)

C'mon Doc lighten up eh'....the parents probably just got the kid's first social security check. Probably took him/her out for a beer and a movie to celebrate.... :-o
No seriously thattttt isn't good...but the two things that really get me irritated are 1) that Senators and House Representatives that take $$$ under the doormat from the NRA(and I'm all for ownership, just make it all tougher than hitting a country gunshow and obtaining ammo from the Web) turn their eyes to shootings and won't budge an inch to make gun-checks manditory and 2) laws that won't find guilty parties of such shootings instantly guilty...sane or not = is something to factor in, but guilty nonetheless. Where did acting on one's insanity become innocent behavior?

The one thing that I always kept in mind with respect to my kids when they were infants/really young with respect to bringing them into public places where most other folks generally appreciate a quieter setting, is that just because the sound of my kid crying may not bother ME too much, doesn't mean that it won't bother someone else, and the longer that I was going to need to be at that place with my child, the less likely my wife and I were to either make the choice to go there together with the kid vs. either getting a sitter or just one of us going while the other stayed at home with the child. It took a couple of times of having to feel the anxiety of having a child who was in the middle of a major crying fit and/or as they got a bit older a major "hissy fit" in a public place for me to develop my opinion about this
Yeah I get that. And I wouldn't put anyone through that.
I think my logic was this; that he would likely sleep during the movie (being only 8 weeks old). If he cried, I would have left the movie with him to calm him in the hallway or something.
I think older kids that are up constantly and need attention all the time probably don't fit in the same way. Likewise; even older kids shouldn't be exposed to certain movies anyway.
We went out for our first lunch the other day, at 5 weeks old, and it was perfect. We were there for an hour and a half and he slept the entire time in his car seat.
I am going on a flight in August with the little guy and I hope he is nice & quiet during the plane trip. It's only a 1.5hr flight but I have been stuck near crying kids on airplanes before so I feel for my neighbors if that happens. Especially since it's a 5:30 AM flight :lol:

We were out with our son at 4 weeks- finally had to get out of the house and went to the bar (Sunday early afternoon, so quiet). We've since been with him so often that when my wife and I went out alone for our anniversary dinner, we stoipped in the bar and, though we don't know the bartender's name (don't go that often) he asked where the kid was, and ocmmented that he's always so well behaved and quiet. Everyone thinks he's incredibly well behaved, and while he is pretty darn good, I think it's more attributable to our constant readiness to remove him quickly if his mood deteriorates.

Flying with young kids advice for you Nick - have some liquid Benadryl handy! If the little guy gets a bit "noisy" on the plane, a quick drop of liquid Benadryl in a little formula will very often do the trick and result in a peacefully sleeping child!

From a USAtoday article
Eagleman, a former researcher at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif., where Holmes attended the eight-week summer camp when he was 18, said the young man had a reputation as a "dolt."

Big gap between dolt and mass murderer

I agree, I think he is at least somewhat pulling the crazy card. I don't buy it. I mean you have to be nuts to kill people like that but it doesn't mean it wasn't calculated or intended. Obviously he had a lot of prep work into it.

Big difference between psychopath and insane.
