What would I buy if someone gave me $150
Category: paul's idea
I would get a babysitter and buy two tickets to this



tix = $50.00
babysitter = $50.00

I guess with the remaining $50.00 I would buy a bottle of Champagne and celebrate that someone gave me $150.00

A reason I love Buffalo
The biggest reason I love Buffalo is the most major things in my life have happened here.

-I was born here
-I met my wife here
-I was married here
-I earned my bachelors degree here
-My child was conceived and born here

It's kinda crazy that all of these things happened to me and I have lived here less than 5 years. Not consecutively obviously. Buffalo will always hold a special place in my heart.

Honorable mention:
-Sponge Candy
-Bistro Europa
-Blue Monk
-Walking distance to Canada
-Really cool buildings and mansions
-Bidwell Market
-Good wings everywhere
-Crazy Parades
-Free Concerts
-Paula's Donuts
-CEPA Art Gallery
-Traffic Circles

I guess that was reasons instead of reason.

I had one of Paula's doughnuts for the first time last week. One of my officemates brought it in. They were pretty good, but I am not a good judge of sweet things. I don't like sweet things much to begin with and I have to admit the doughnut was a sugar overload.

Great post. I agree with all the honorable mentions.

I have seen some Press on Paula's Donuts and they look great ......

Still somehow never been to CEPA not sure where downtown it really is

Canada can be walked to not that I have ever done it.....

I have not tried Paula's donuts yet. I guess I have got to get down there as all the other things are on my list.

This is tough
Category: baby
So I'm becoming really private online. I have been keeping any sort of real details about my life off of the net. But a few of you here know that my wife (Btw I got married) was pregnant. She had the baby last week and we are doing very well. I don't want to post her name or pictures because I think if the baby wants to have some sort of online presence that will be her decision in the future. But she is wicked cute and I hope you all get to meet her soon.

I really do intend to keep writing here. I'm currently just trying to get inspired again. I guess for while I didn't really care what I posted about. Now I don't want any potential or current bosses or colleagues to stumble upon this journal by accident. I have been cooking up a storm lately, which really means its time to start posting about that again.

I keep forgetting to say congrats on the new baby and on the marriage. I wish I was more anonymous because than I could actually have some really interesting things to share.
jbeatty - 03/02/11 19:26
Thank you all. I guess I'm just sort of paranoid these days. I think of this in the same way that I view tattoos. They are fine for other people, but for me I know that eventually I would regret it and couldn't change it. So I'm reserving posting tons of photos publicly for now. I did set up a private gallery which I will share with people if they would like.
metalpeter - 03/02/11 18:59
Congrats! In Terms of the web presence of the kid that is a pretty personal thing.... I think a lot of people do it as a way for people who are like out of town or what ever to see pictures? But some people don't put up pictures for the same reason they think family stuff should be for family only.....

matthew - 03/02/11 13:09
congratulations to you and your wife!
paul - 03/01/11 18:12

A picture comment to (e:Paul,53737)

Just in case it was too hard to slice the pre-cooked potatoes they include that convenience too.

That was the one thing holding me back from switching.

Vaccination
Category: jenny mccarthy is a
NY state is now recommending Hepatitis B vaccines for all newborn babies based on six case studies of medical errors I'm not one of those crazies (see Jenny McCarthy) that thinks vaccinations lead to autism. I do think that its overkill to give a newborn a Hep B vaccine based on six case studies. I didn't even get this vaccine until I went to work in a hospital with routine exposure to patient blood. I can't see how a newborn would ever likely come into contact with this. Anyway I did find find this great website the Jenny McCarthy Body Count I find idiots like her and and people like Oprah that give her a pedestal from which to spew forth dangerous crap highly despicable. It is amazing to me how quickly bullshit spreads in the information age. It's no wonder I'm becoming a Luddite. It's scary to think that my baby could get polio because some moron thought that a vaccine was more dangerous than the disease it prevents.

As with any human trait, the function of the immune system also has a normal distribution. And under this distribution 99.9% of kids will have regular immune systems that are incapable of defending themselves against invasion and subsequent infection by pathogenic species specifically targeted by the handful of mandatory childhood vaccines.

Jenny probably has no idea about what a normal distribution is. So yes, I wouldn't want to listen to her.
metalpeter - 02/22/11 19:21
If your baby has a suppressed immune system for some reason then you put that baby in grave danger with shots..... Once that child is fully developed the best thing for them is to get germs and then there body fights them off and when they go to day care or school at 5 they don't get sneezed on and die...... Babies aren't human pincushions ..... Jenny Isn't crazy she has her idea (not that I agree with them) oh but wait they haven't found a cure or a way to stop Autism so until they do she has a valid view..... I don't know if old wives tails travel faster or slower over the net I think slower cause people can find legit sites but not sure on that......
tinypliny - 02/21/11 17:28
I agree with this post 105%. And I rarely do that. :-)
