You only need 11 lbs of force to suffocate an adult. Even less, I imagine, for infants and children. Hold on for 50 seconds and the person isn't coming back, regardless of CPR.

But once the infants learn to roll over or sit up, they need their own crib. It may seem impossible, but an infant could crush another one easily.

I don't agree with attachment parenting for several reasons, a lack of independence being one of them. The other is the concept of co-sleeping.

Also, The Beatles song "I'll Be On My Way" is not available on iTunes, sadly. Wonderful song, wish I could have it.

Re-Importing my CD's. Not going to bother with the songs on my Zune, I'll just buy them again on iTunes.

In the process of just deleting all my imported songs from iTunes, and my computer locks up. Fuck.

iTunes is a disaster of a program. I should have just stuck with my CD's and CD player.

The missing songs were ones I transferred over two years ago from CD's and my Zune. iTunes put a (!) next to all the song titles and says they can't be found?

I fucking hate iTunes. A chunk of my music library is gone off my iPod after I synched the damn thing last night.

I think it was on Yahoo or something. They were saying how if Green Day were to retire right now, they'd have enough hits and records to live a comfortable life just touring.

I read somewhere that GD was one of the bands that could have a long standing career if they were to stop right now. Meaning they'd be classics.But they were with Taylor Swift, so idk...

I love GD and the trilogy with all my heart :) and I'll always love the fanfiction community too... I just have less time for it these days sadly. Good to see you back Trestein!
Trestein
May 9, 2013 03:31 am
Yes, the shrinking number of fans. The trilogy and Billie's issues really didn't help. I also liked the trilogy! It had a strange sound. I can't quite explain how i feel about it.

And to cap off my rant, I'd like to add that when BJ mentioned wanting to do another concept album, I cringed. Not that I don't love AI and 21CB, but I was happy to see them move on for the tr

But even lots of hardcore older fans didn't like it. Which isn't really surprising as much as it is disappointing.
PrettyVacant
May 8, 2013 07:31 pm
I mean, I think that the trilogy, while awesome, did not appeal to new fans. And Billie's incident didn't really help. I am in the camp that thinks the trilogy was the bomb-diggity

@Tre: I agree, but I think that SR will be around for quite a while. Though I will say that my biggest fear is the shrinking number of GD fans in general.

May 8, 2013 02:14 pm
:( I always fear for GD fanfiction. Without Sullen Riot, there isn't anywhere else dedicated to that writing community.

Though I still love Sims 3, so I hope my computer has room enough for both. Unless Sims 4 is totally awesome, then I'll just play it lol.

Pretty good! They just announced Sims 4 is coming in mid 2014.

It's a webcomic. I'm gonna regret saying this, but you should check it out if you have many hours of free time. Just Google "Homestuck" or "mspaintadventures" and..... yeah

I guess I'll have to take a look at it on like Wikipedia or something. Is it animated or live action?

It is the crackiest advventure one can ever embark on. The Creator, Andrew Hussie, has killed off just about every character at least once. And its LONG.

Hey. Are there any Homestucks on here? Please don't flog me for saying this, but how would everyone feel about me putting a HomestuckxGreen Day crossover on here?

I remember listening to them when I was at uni. Are they still releasing new material?! I used to play drums for a ska punk band back then and we covered one of their songs :)

Any of you guys listen to Streetlight Manifesto? They are like my new obsession right now, it's ska punk, so imagine a punk band with an incredible horn section playing the lead

Those are the kind of people that really upset me. They think they're so holy, but they are the ones who truly have their priorities out of sync and should be ashamed

If you believe the online tabloids, I have to say, I feel sorry for Katy Perry. Her own parents are calling her a devil child. Yet they're asking for money so they can go to Switzerland
