And I agree.
Tinned tuna is shit. Not puke ville by any stretch. But anyone that says it's good texture has no idea.
Raw tuna every day of the week thanks.
That's texture. A bit oily, some stretch to it.

 

[vinum coupe]

Wow, the 18yo girl won, from Will-I-Am's team. Crap ending really . The rashun's would've gone down well!

Trust me. You have no idea yet.
You're going to want to have my kids.
LMAO

 

[karencatsfan]

What if I'd just eaten eel, smoked a cigar, and rubbed chocolate over my face?

No to the eel and cigar!!!!! Please don't say you've eaten eel or smoked cigars .
With that lovely mental image of eel, choc and cigar, I'm off to bed. Night!

who says tinned tuna has good texture? it is a good alternative to ham and chicken in a sandwich.

So I've had to set up a wall chart for my kids to monitor iPhone/ipad usage.
15 minute blocks. (which they colour in as they use them) 2 hours per day. And they are allowed to bank blocks.

So feasibly they could bank it all and play for 10 hours straight on a weekend.
This will be interesting.

It's already had an effect.
Daughter was on it for about 30 minutes less this morning and my son didn't go on it at all.

Gee you're harsh.

 

[vinum coupe]

Gee you're harsh.

They've got to learn self moderation.
There's no point in me saying "you've been on there long enough, time to get off"
They need to realise it themselves.

Now I'm not sure whether to post this here, in the Stevie J thread or in the Movie thread I'm so confused!!!

Shai Here's a Stevie J video that I found- there are 2 parts. The first runs for 18-odd minutes, haven't watched the second as yet.

Even though I knew the ending, it was still very very sad in the middle ;(

Thanks 4 that T-cat, he rocks.. silly isn't it, to get emotional over history but there ya go..

 

[Shai]

Shai -and the sequel ....

That was so good! Had to laugh at the banner in ep 1 "Too old, Too slow, Too good" then used as an opener in ep 2, sound familiar any1..? Seen some1 comment about how the media weren't anti Geelong, saying we're top 4 material but that's mostly after the last rd or 2.. they've been bagging us all year.

I believe we're coming right @ the right time, still don't know if it will b good 'nuff but a proud supporter all the same

I loved how they included the TV ads from before the game. It set the atmosphere alright!!

my guess this will last a few months tops.

A few months?
It will last 2 weeks.

It's about education, not rule.

i knew it only last a few weeks but i didnt want to say that in-case you held out for a month just to tell me about it!

Educating them about how long they spend on devices? They'll be surprised to actually keep track of how much time can just disappear.
I'd probably spend 4-5 hours a day on my ipad. Not good really

2 hours is a little on the low side....

 

[GeelongFTW]

Besides they will know you won't go through with it and they will just hold out. And use it when they are supposed to be sleeping lols.

That's what I think....kids are clever at outsmarting parents.
2hrs is pretty miserly. How many hours do you spend on the net & video games per day FTW. Maybe I don't want to know lol

2-6 depending on the day.

 

[Big Tom 2013]

Quick hello before my connection drops out. We're freezing our arses off atm, Tassie gets bloody cold (despite what FTW says ).

On the current topic, I'm a lightweight, reckon I spend 1/2-1 hour a day on the net, maybe a bit more if I'm gaming on the weekends.

Thought yours would be a fair bit higher, that's not too bad FTW
Have you been playing some game that's about to come out, but some people have early access to? Some of the guys in our office are raving about it.

Hi Tom! How did your girlfriends visit go? Nice hotel? Did you watch the game?

 

[Big Tom 2013]

Yep, all good. She was mighty impressed with the hotel, stayed in a heritage old style one.
Nah, missed the game-wasnt on the agenda for such a short visit apparently haha. Did sneak a look at a replay today though . Ok, catch you later.

Good work Tom
It can be awfully tricky to pick a decent hotel.

Hey Tom- glad it all went well!
Hope to see you back a bit more on here when you get home
