I never even wrote the comment, but I was prepared to.So I feel like a jerk now. I was on Facebook, all set to chew one of my players out for missing yesterday and I see in his status that his mom died and he is out of town for her funeral. He is Native American and their funeral rites run for a week or more, depending on what ceremonies the deceased wanted performed. I am a Grade A, 100% a@&&%*@, you know that right?Did the comment actually go out, or were you able to delete it?
Was this player previously known for no-call no-shows?

Not often. But we are moving to a new day, so I assumed he just forgot.

At least you caught yourself from making a bad situation worse and that's all that really matters. You own up from your conscience, humble down, buckle up, and move on to the next thing (like the A-Team Trailer). ;)
wants it to be May alreadyVegemite sandwich postThat stuff is good, when you get down here I'll fix you one. ;)
Speaking of which, when are we going to start our thread for discussing it?

Wishes the basement didn't have a semi-open window posy
I love posy.
Patrick: yeah, there's been plenty of trollishness lately.
Gary: It sets me off too, but those are often the people you can't reason with anyway.
David: you checked before you did it, no harm/no foul.
Wow, Heathy, that's some day. No wonder you didn't figure out the incomprehensible like you normally do.
*blink monkey post*
One win, one loss. What did I miss? Besides Patrick ranting about the many bridges with trolls under them that is.
A loss over here, too. 14-12, and my daughter was this close to tying the game.
More money to spend on Paizo!
More love? They're fulla hate. [insert relevant Yoda quote]

Agreed. If you had decided to post, then you would have been an a(team)hole. I would have been extremely surprised if you had made the post.
Also, my sympathies for your friend's loss.
You know you want to watch!
Lasted all 10 minutes without breaking. Started laughing after 5 minutes.
Are you prepared to serve me yet?

Thanks. I hoped it would be 2011, but I can wait another year.
What has the world come to??
A point of no return.
Went to Toys'r'us.
three kids...
Son (6) couldn't have toy he wanted; proceded to throw s@#%fit; had to leave.
Q: HOW LONG should he stay in his room? I'm saying about an hour.
I don't know.
I was never this bad...
Mom took middle daughter BACK OUT to get something nice.
An hour sounds about right (rule of thumb I heard for a time-out was 10 minutes per year of age, once your child knows what it means to be in time-out).
I think your wife taking your daughter back out will show that his behavior only punished him.

Cool....I'm kinda pissed because I worked from 8 am to midnight yesterday, and now my family time isn't proving to be blissful. Okay, done crying about my problems.....thanx for the validation though; just wanted to make sure my summary judgment wasn't overly harsh.
Yeah, deep down inside I would so much prefer not to punish my children. It needs to be done, though.
Sorry you had a rough day yesterday. 18-hour days suck.
Put them in ... the Iron Maiden. <does air guitar>

Wow the rule of thumb I always remembered is a time-out is 1 minute per year of age.... AFTER they have calmed down. If they are still having a fit well they can still sit in Time-out till they are done. Of course that is Time out in a designated time out spot that does not have toys ect.. If it just "go to your room" well for me thats "Dad needs a time out" and you can come out when I am able to handle it.
Mmmmm....French Vanilla Coffee.
Well, she'll start by laying the smacketh down on your roody poo candy asses. You're going to smell what she's cooking. No, wait, that's the Rock...

Oops. Maybe I had that wrong. My kids don't get time-outs anymore.
I dunno, an hour sounded appropriate, though.

My son will have a fit for an age of man.
It concerns me for the future.
Emma (the youngest) is sick. I wish I knew why.
I take it this is not a typical illness.

That is why though it is harsh you need to put the Kibosh on it now. Either that or he will learn that all he has to do to get his way will be throw a fit. I see way too many people doing it already.
