Do you think this kid is weird?
On his facebook status he ALWAYS writes "yeah baby" after every word and always talks about drinking and losing his virginity every weekend in College. When he was in High School he was a goody goody who played sports and went to church(catholic). He was also semi-quiet and used to always talk to his brother at cross country like they were best friends who never got to see each other. He always posts "Its the weekend, party time, yeah baby!" and always says "Oh yeah!" and "man every other word when he writes on facebook." Its interesting, because there was a kid just like him(they were friends) in High school, never partied, church boy, then they both joined frats and have been obsessively partying ever since. And their parents support it. What do you think? They are only 18-19.

who was the best of these three during the 90s – Romario, Cantona or Baggio ?
not Dino Baggio (Great player…) but Roberto Baggio.

so Romario, Cantona and Roberto Baggio.

for me its a tie between Baggio and Romario with Cantona JUST falling short.

but that is my opinion.

can’t wait to hear loads of Arsenal fans (angry at me) who are going to pick Cantona (to appease United fans ) LMFAO

but go ahead

so who do YOU think was the best of these three ?

or, for you, who was the best of the three ?

obviously none of them compare to a slightly superior player – Maradona.

but lets focus on these three legends for now.

who was the best of these three during the 90s – Romario, Cantona or Baggio ?
I wont report you for abuse Lezzo.

thanks for sharing your intelligence with the rest of us on this question.

bravo mate. bravo.

hopefuly somebody will report you for abuse soon enough.

I’ll let you enjoy it for a while. thanks for sharing your intelligence with us.

Baggio was the most gifted but became mentally unstable after ‘94. However, those first 4 years he had in the decade were superior than anything Romario or Cantona did.

ps. I love Dino for refusing to dive in Serie A.

Lezzo | Jan 30, 2010

Romario, with Baggio and Cantona falling just short. Cantona is rightly considered to be one of our best ever players at Old Trafford, but Baggio was definitely on that level. When Romario was on top of his game he was absolutely unplayable – the WC in 1994 is the first WC which I have detailed memories of and he was outstanding for Brazil, and brilliant for Barca around the same time. Finished with an incredible record of 70 caps and 55 goals. Cantona and Baggio were more complete players than Romario, but like I say Romario was one of the best players of all time IMO. That might sound slightly contradictory, but what I mean to say is that Romario was so good at what he did i.e. as an out-and-out goalscorer that it makes him a slightly superior player IMO. Just a shame that he never stayed in one place long enough in Europe to become a real club legend somewhere.

Roberto Baggio was the reason I started playing and loving the game. he was a genious. Romario scored loads of goals, but his type wasn’t anything special. Ronaldo was better than him. Baggio had it all. he was as creative as Zidane, and score as many goals as Van Nistelrooy. he did have two bad seasons at Milan, but the entire team, although it was full of great players then, were struggling. He also suffered at Inter because of his feud with Lippi.
But when he was free to do what he could have, he proved his class. at fiorentina he was a god, at Juve he was a god. came second the Bierhoff for most goals when he was at Bologna…yeah Bologna and had Brescia pushing for European spots.
There a reason he’s called The Divine Ponytail
Thug nificent | Jan 30, 2010

Baggio, he was amazing, back in the days when Serie A was the best league.
I really liked Romario too but ill be honest here- i only ever really saw him play for Brazil so im not sure if thats enough to base my opinion of him on.
Cantona was great, very skillful but he never showed for the big european games (im sure man utd fans will disagree but thats my opinion anyways)

So Baggio is number one out of those, way out in front.

Btw im an Arsenal fan – why should i be mad at you?? what did you doooooo?? lol

He is not listening!!!!! HELP!!!!?
ok, so my son will be 2 in 2 months. He has always been a pretty good boy. But lately he has to be told EVERYTHING 500 times! he knows what im saying and is ignoring me. He is shoving things up his nose constantly, whines all the time, is always banging himself up, and throws the WORST temper tantrums. Now before your like "uh… thats what 2 yr olds do duh." I get that. I just want to know how to correct his behavior. Right now he gets a swat, put on the time out chair for 1 minute, and then i go to the chair get down on his level and tell him what he did was wrong and not okay, then i ask him if he is sorry and he then usually gives me a kiss and hug which i take as an apology. but it isnt working 5 sec later hes back at it! it gets me so irritated because it seems like i spend my entire day yelling at him or telling him no. i try to praise him whenever he does something good, but it seems like those times are becoming less and less. my patience is draining. help please!

---

All you can do is be consistent on punishment. Trust me, my son was a walking talking toddler tank of destruction. He is better now, almost 5 but it was a rough time between 1-3. He still has his moments but, I take away most of his loved toys and he seems to react to that. Just find his switch, something you do that he can not stand and stick with it. It might be flicking his earlobe or not letting him have PB&J for lunch…also finding well behaved kids for him to play with might help. It seems to help when my son is around "big kids" that are a few years older than him, he wants to be like them so he acts like them.

boy have we been there! this is what we did

adopt the philosophy that the second you lose your cool, the kid wins. it’s hard, but with practice you’ll get this. cooly, sweetly and even lovingly tell him ‘if you do that again, you’ll go to timeout.’ then wordlessly plop him in timeout for 2 minutes. use a timer, and when it goes off, do what you’ve been doing (get your I’m sorry, a kiss, hug, etc.) DO NOT repeat yourself more than 2x, and while I know a lot of parents use the ‘I’ll count to 3′business, we don’t do that.

we request once (time to clean up!). repeat the request with choice / aka consequence (it’s time to clean up, or you’ll have a timeout.) then consequence (you chose timeout.) they’ll suddenly clamor to do what you’ve asked (he’ll rush to clean up) once the consequence has been set, but tell him ‘I’m sorry buddy, it’s too late. but next time you’ll listen better’ and proceed to consequence. and if it is cleanup, rest assured his clean up chore will be there waiting for him. then when he does clean up give big praise, hugs and kisses, stickers, whatever to celebrate that he gets lots of good stuff when he’s good, but won’t be rewarded for behavior you don’t approve of.

stay strong, momma! it’s all about teaching, its nothing personal against you (though it DAILY feels like it’s a battle of mommy vs. kids!!!) but helping them understand and control their very powerful and often overwhelming feelings.

stick to it, even 100x, and in a short amount of time you’ll see a kid that accepts you as the boss, but also as someone who sets limits because you love him.

My daughter is 21 months and I go through the same thing. A lot of whining, a lot of misbehaving, and a lot of time outs. But I have learned to pick my battles and if it is minor, don’t bother with it. If it is something she shouldn’t do but won’t listen to me when I tell her to stop, I let her do it and she learns the hard way. For example, she always wants to stand on her bounce and spin zebra. I can’t tell you how many times I told her no. Now I let her do it. She has fallen off and didn’t really get hurt (all she said was "uh oh") and now she doesn’t do it anymore. It was one of those curious things she had to work out on her own.

If it is something where I know she will get hurt (like burned on the stove or something) there is no giving in. No means no, stay out the kitchen, etc. For the most part she just wants to help and I let her when I do other things like sweep and mop but there are times she just can’t help me. I’m sure you are going through something similiar.

I think it really boils down to pick your battles. They are curious at this age. They have new freedom and are learning to deal with their emotions. We have to let them and encourage them instead of always telling them "no".
Captain | Feb 03, 2010

So stop saying things 500 times. Stop reacting. Give 1 time and then the consequences for not complying. He doesn’t understand apologies by the way. He is only doing what he knows works to get back in your favor. He has no impulse control at this age and to be honest, you have a good while before he can control some of his actions.

sounds like terrible 2 are starting all you can do is everytime he acts up all you can do is put in him timeout for how ever old he is. since he is 2 then keep putting him in timeout for 2 minutes each time he acts up dont spank him just say firmly if you dont stop timeout is calling and well if that doesnt work take him for time out.

He is on a losing softball team, and he and his teammates are facing the end of softball as they know it if they can’t pull it together. When love enters his life, it unexpectedly alters Artie’s low self-esteem, and the odds for winning, not only the league trophy, but a new life, are certainly looking up.

Can someone please explain…?
First off, I am Aussie and dont get me wrong, most of the time, I admire these athletes, but there are a few things I really would change about the NFL. Before I get bombarded by you yanks saying lets go and play rugby or cricket, that is not the point of my question. Furthermore before you say watch a match and see how tough it is, I have been to the USA multiple times and have been to 3 superbowls and multiple conference finals.

1) With two conferences… It is absolutely impossible, even under ideal circumstances for the two best teams in the NFL to compete for the superbowl if the two best teams come from the same conference.

I mean seriously, who makes a professional game watched by ‘into the billions’ around the world where it is impossible for the two best teams to compete in the final??

2) The length of time reviewing challenges is phenomenal… There are times where a decision can be looked at for 5 minutes or more.

If you have got to look at a replay for more than 5 times, there has to be doubt in the umpires mind and the benefit of the doubt should be awarded to the attacking team every time.

Sure the outcome of a game can weigh on that single decision, but sometimes decisions go your way and sometimes they dont.

3) I hate the rule of running out and the attacking team retains possession. I mean really, if running backs and wide receivers want to run the ball out and not get tackled, they should lose possession the ball, though I do realise that this is often done to stop the clock.

4) Why do coaches and co-ordinators dictate what plays do run?? From my perspective, the job of the coaching staff is just that, to coach and prepare teams for a match, but once the games starts, there should be an element of leadership from QBs (in the case of offence) and probably an experienced LB in the case of defence to make the calls of which plays to run.

The need for radio contact between coaching staff and an on field player from my perspective is silly.

5) The amount of celebration after something as little as a first down is just stupid… Dont you agree. Ok, these RBs are high on adrenalin, but come on, you ran 5 yards. In rugby, you score the equivalent of a touchdown (In which case the celebrations are even more stupid) and you get a pat of the bum or back from your teammates and a quick word of something along the lines of ‘on ya mate) and have a drink.

6) The amount of interchange I find is hard to comprehend too. In rugby league you have 12 interchanges for a match and stats show the heavier bulkier ‘forwards’ (weighing up to 270lbs)covering up to 80 tackles in 80 minutes as well as having 20-30 runs advancing 200+ yards offensively (metres) whilst covering as much as 10 miles in those 80 minutes.

7) Generally speaking there is a huge amount of contact in NFL, but nonetheless I find the padding to be over the top. Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt wanna be hit by Ray Lewis at full steam without pads, but then again, I am not a professional footy player, so I wouldnt end up in that situation. But the idea of WRs wearing helmets restricts their vision and shoulder pads, their motion likewise, so much so, it takes away part of their ‘awe dont you agree?

From my personal perspective, I think that the helmets in particular create more problems than they solve. If everyone wore next to no padding, like in rugby, there are no more or no less injuries (I realise this point is going to cause A LOT of debate). Ok, in past times, there has been the occasional death in NFL from trauma, but with medical advancements, treatment has improved a lot too dont you agree.

I am not dissing the NFL and I still want to watch it, but heres just my 2 cents on a few issues in your game.
What are your thoughts??

Cheers n beers

As I look up above, I see you rambling in #6 about "interchanges." WTF are you talking about?

Another question about Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest?
ok. in the fight scene between Sparrow, Norrington, and Turner.

Will Turner grabs a rope attached to the bell and is pulled up to the top (caused by Jack grabbing onto it making it go down) on the way up Will grabs the key out of Norringtons hand. when they get to the top and are fighting on top of the well (before they get onto the wheel) Jack is attempting to grab the key. but now for some reason it is again in Norringtons hand. i slowed down the fight and didn’t see anytime were Norrington could have taken it. was it a mistake?

if it wasn’t a mistake please explain when and how Norrington got it. cause i just watched that part of the fight twice in slow motion to see and couldnt find a thing

Is it appropriate to ask a sitter to go to bed earlier the night before watching a child?
I watch my nephew one day a week (for free and I miss out on working that day) for my sister and sometimes I will sleep over to make it easier for the transition in the morning. Well, last week we were all up late (about midnight) and she and her husband went to bed but I still had a couple little things to do before going to sleep. Well the next day, the baby (who is 2) was exceptionally unruly and would not sleep. When my sister asked how it was going I told her what was going on. The day after that she, out of no where, said "you know, I would really appreciate it if you would go to bed earlier when you’ll be watching my child the next day so you won’t get so frustrated with him". I am 25 years old, I have been a nanny for the past 13 years, I am the most responsible person in my family when it comes to work, and I know how much sleep I need to get, yet she still felt the need to say that. Although he is normally a super sweet lovable little boy, he can be a monster sometimes and she is completely blind to any fault in her child, whether it’s just a bad day or he is being a terror.

He is always loved, well fed, has had his naps, has play time, and is genuinely well taken care of when in my care.

She says that it’s her right as a parent to ask whatever she wants of her caretaker. Am I wrong for finding that slightly offensive and out of line?
I should probably mention that he was a premie and that he is her first child….

We tease her because her excuse for everything from temper tantrums to just being a punk is "he was a premie!" or "you don’t want a completely obedient child, that’s not normal!" "he’s just being a little boy"…..

I love him to death and think he’s an awesome little guy, but he does have his moments.

---

I don’t think that’s right. It doesn’t sound like you "not sleeping" wasn’t the problem. Sounds like he was just having a cranky day. I’d just ignore her. Yes parents can ask things of their children’s caretaker, but as long as it’s within reason.
Amy M | Feb 01, 2010

---

Just say Yes and do whatever you want. She can’t monitor your sleeping schedule.
Auditore da Firenze | Feb 01, 2010

---

yes you have the right to be upset. i would have politely said what i do in my personal life when your child is not in my care is none of your business. i don’t tell you how to live your life please don’t tell me how to live mine or you could always find another sitter.
Natasha | Feb 01, 2010

---

Tell her to find another caretaker. You are doing her and her husband a favor (even if your the aunt). There are extreams though. If she was up with you she has no complaint. If on the other side you went to a biker bar til 4am stumbeling home to watch the kid the next day she could have a point.
Cletus | Feb 01, 2010

---

Well…if it were a hired person…I think it would be out of line…

But if it was my sister…I’d probably tell her the same thing.

Whether you want to believe it or not, and whether it was appropriate or not…your sister is right. YOU WILL be less patient if you’re wiped out too.

I’m not saying that your sister had any right to tell you when to go to bed and I’m not saying that your nephew wasn’t being a bloody terror that particular day…but I can tell you….because I’m the mother of a toddler that has his moments…WHEN I DON’T SLEEP…we all suffer.

If I were you…I’d not spend the night before hand.

If she wants to treat you like a caretaker…then come in at 8AM or whatever time…like a "Caretaker" would.

And while she has the right as a parent to ask whatever she wants…you as a caretaker don’t have to comply just because she’s asking.

I can see both sides of it.
Yes it’s a pushy request….but it’s also good advice….so I don’t know what to tell ya…lol.

if she feels that you are not fit for taking care of her child then she can pay for someone to watch him. You are fine and can take care of your self. however if you neglected the child while you watched it she can ask you but never demand you you are your own person. she cant make you do any thing.

No she doesn’t have that right even if she were paying you and she isn’t even doing that. It sounds to me like she is not blind to the child’s behavior but that she doesn’t want to admit to it and so instead she makes it out to be your fault for not being patient when the real issue is how her child was behaving. She will sadly be one of those parents who is always making excuses for and covering up for their child and their behavior instead of working toward correcting it. If you are giving up paid work to babysit for free then I just wouldn’t do it anymore. If she wants to be that picky with who watches her child and what time they go to bed the night before she better start paying someone else to do it and even then she won’t find anyone who would allow her to dictate to them what time they need to go to bed the night before.

She can ask and you can decline to babysit for her.

I can’t blame her for not wanting an overtired person babysitting and I can’t blame you for being irked that she thinks you don’t know your own limits. Neither of you is wrong, per se, you’re just not suited to work for her.

It is not her right to ask "whatever she wants" of her child’s caretaker. It IS her right to ask her child’s caretakers to meet certain standards of care, however. For instance, if she prefers that her child’s caretakers not yell or spank, then she has the right to ask that, and it is up to the caregiver to meet those requirements. Then, if YOU, as the caregiver, feel that getting more sleep would help you meet those requirements, then YOU can make that choice.

Sit her down and tell her that if she has a problem with something you are doing (or not doing) that specifically relates to her child, she needs to address it with you directly — how much sleep you get or don’t get on your own time is not something she gets to decide.

Yes,she does have a right as a parent to ask whatever she wants of her caretaker when she is "paying" that person and her demands are within reason. Since she is not, I suggest that you, your sister and brother-in-law have a sit down and discuss this. Better solution, let her hire a caretaker.

Hi ya…if this were MY sister…she would have gotten a reaming! She has absolutely NO right to tell you how to live your life, especially since you are doing this for FREE…it sure sounds like you are doing a great job and you know what, it is ok to have a bad day!! Everyone has bad days, even little ones. Just don’t tell her how your day is going…truly…now you know how she will react. Just tell her everything is fine. Confide in a close friend or spouse when you need to vent…treat her like your employer. Maybe you should start charging her! Wow, she had a lot of nerve..i am upset and don’t know you guys from a hole in the wall! lol But anyway, I digress…off my soap box… Bottom line, you are doing a good job by your nephew! leave it at that. If your sister persists, then give her notice…she can find another sitter. I wish you good luck and hope things work out for you.

If you are at her house I think she has the right to ask you to go to bed at a reasonable hour. — I tell my friends when to have the lights out and TV off because it’s my house, my rules. (Plus I have a hard time sleeping if I know someone is up in my house.)

However, as long as it isn’t affecting the care her son is getting, she does not have the right to ask you, as the sitter, to go to bed early.

So nights that you are at her house — Yes, I think it is appropriate for her to ask you to go to bed at a certain time. But you can point out that this is too early for you and you were just staying the night as a convenience for her.

Nights that you are at your own home — It really isn’t her business.

About what she said … It is her right as a parent to ask whatever she wants of her caretaker. But before opening her mouth, she needs to ask herself if this issue is worth finding a new caretaker over. Because she can’t rule your life. She can say "If you want to watch my son, I need you to ____". If you don’t agree, she should be ready to find someone else.

You should tell your sister that you are a big girl and can decide when your bedtime should be.Also let her know that you were frustrated because HE was the one who wouldn’t sleep and was being difficult.If she can’t believe that her precious little angel has off days, then she is naive.It had no bearing on your bedtime.Also remind her that you are doing this for FREE and if she has a problem with the arrangement, then she can feel free to find a new babysitter.
