Arlie's never slept on the couch. We have a guest room.

JR will be sent to his room for punishment. All the toys like the TV, computer and video game consoles will be in the family room. His room will be like Siberia.

I will say that if the baby gets here and BB still isn't released, he will be sleeping on the couch. For a loooooooooooong time.

And then, after you punish him and send him to his room for a day, you go up there and find a giant mural that your kid drew with the markers and paper that he is allowed to have in there, plus every single puzzle he owns completed and laid out on the floor, and you are happy he has such a good imagination but wonder if he's really been punished at all.

Again, hormones speaking. You'll forget everything the baby will have put you through the minute he comes out and you hold his little hand. Then you'll get mad one day and you'll want to put him through Siberia again, they call that baby blues. But then again, you will melt once the minute you hear him call you out in a soft voice: "mama"

You're welcome.

True. But I'll take that risk.

Hopefully the little guy will read while in there. That's what I did when I was sent to my room. I read tons of books - I was punished a lot, was a bad kid. It got to the point where I could knock out a 600 page book in an afternoon and remember what I had read. Those reading skills helped me later in life.

Mustang · 07-11-2005, 02:39 PM

Bah.. this is alot of nothing. (The news story).

There are alot of things that they have strict Midnight times on.. 2 of the most recent things I can think of are Halo 2 and Star Wars toys for episode I, II, III..

Plus, not a stretch to think delivery trucks normally have GPS units in them so you can track time on road, delivery speeds, etc...

ThunderingHERD · 07-11-2005, 11:31 PM

Added security is just a publicity stunt. Inevitably some store will start selling it early, which the publisher will love because they'll go after them creating another big news story that adds to the hype of the release.

Tell you what, Farrah.

Tell me when the baby's born. I will put in say.. $100 a year.. for a fund for your baby.. to be spent at various times growing up for books.

Reading is what got me through some very tough times in my life, where I wanted to escape this world, and reading kept me from some other, more drastic things. I still do.

I still have shelf upon shelf upon shelf of books. I hate to lose them. I don't sell them to used book stores though.. I give them to Library drives and the like so some other kid will read them and be lost in flights of fantasy, of learning, of places that never existed except in a dream and the written word.

New Potter book leaks in Canada, gag order issued
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Harry Potter's latest secret may have slipped out in Canada, and publishers of the best-selling books hope the magical allure of author J.K. Rowling's autograph will get it back under wraps. Rowling's sixth book about the young wizard is scheduled to be released on July 16, but a store near Vancouver briefly put the put the book on sale last week.

Raincoast Books Ltd., which distributes the books in Canada, said a "small number" of the books were sold, and it has won a court injunction barring the buyers of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" from disclosing the plot.

The court also ordered all the copies be returned to Raincoast, which has promised the early buyers book plates autographed by Rowling once the embargo is lifted.

Millions of copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" are expected to be distributed to stores around the world, and publishers have launched big security efforts to keep the wizard's adventures a secret until the official release date.

After talking it over with Anthony last night, we have decided that he and I will be attending the local Barnes and Noble midnight sale - and he of course will be decked out in his HP Gryffindor Robe (leftover Halloween costume) and have his Gryffindor Sword with him

Should be fun...tried to talk radii into going with us, but he wasn't interested. Party Pooper!

Oh, I am definitely the HP fan of the house...Anthony knows that he can watch the movies whenever he wants, but that they are MINE

Same thing with the books - he can read them, but they are MINE! I'll share most things, but not Harry Potter!!!!

You've got a deal

.

Reading helped me through some really tough times too, (and still does). There was nothing better than escaping into a book when things got rough. I remember really getting into the Little House on The Prarie series when my parents got divorced. I read the entire series - seven books I think - between Christmas and New Years that year. I would day dream about being Laura Ingalls. If Harry Potter had been around when I was a kid, I would have been one of those annoying obsessed kids waiting for the new book at midnight.

In my dream home one day I will have an entire library of my own with floor to ceiling books and deep mahogany wood panneling...with a fireplace and a big comfy leather chair.

I'm pretty sure Amazon has already shipped all the books that will be arriving on the 16th.

ISiddiqui · 07-13-2005, 06:13 PM

Yeah, Amazon had the promise that it'd be there on the 16th earlier on. It seems now it's going to be shipped on Monday. I guess they reached their limit for delivery on the 16th.

Hell, wade, tell your g/f to cancel the order and just go to any bookstore on the 16th. They should have piles of it. They ordered 10.8 million copies, so it shouldn't sell out.

SirFozzie · 07-14-2005, 12:15 PM

In an amusing/interesting/scary aside.. The Pope (When he was a Cardinal) spoke out about Harry Potter.

July 14,2005 | BERLIN -- In a letter sent two years before becoming pope, Benedict XVI expressed concern that the Harry Potter books "erode Christianity in the soul" of young people, a German writer says.

The comments came in an exchange of letters between then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Gabriele Kuby, a Bavarian-based Roman Catholic sociologist who penned a book criticizing J.K. Rowling's blockbusters.

In a letter dated March 7, 2003, the text of which could be seen Thursday on Kuby's Web site, Ratzinger thanked her for sending him a copy of "your informative book."

"It is good that you are throwing light on Harry Potter, because these are subtle seductions that work imperceptibly, and because of that deeply, and erode Christianity in the soul before it can even grow properly," the letter added.

The Vatican had no comment, noting that the pontiff -- a Bavarian native -- and his secretary were away on vacation.

Kuby argues in her book, "Harry Potter -- Good or Evil," that the Potter novels blur the boundaries between good and evil and impair young readers' ability to distinguish between the two. She also asserts that they glorify the world of witches and magicians at the expense of the human world.

Christians in the United States have made similar criticisms.

Kuby said Thursday that she sent her book to Ratzinger -- then the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog -- after he commented favorably on an earlier book she wrote, "My Way to Mary."

In an e-mailed response to questions, she said she did not correspond with Ratzinger about Potter again after seeking his permission to cite his judgment later in 2003.

Ratzinger wrote on May 27 that year that "I gladly permit you to cite my opinion on Harry Potter," according to Kuby.

Rowling's sixth Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," is due out Saturday.

The Pope needs to go to a Star Wars premiere or a Star Trek Convention. Those people need waaaaaay more help.

I did the midnight showing last year at Barnes and Noble. This year, I screwed up and prepurchased from Suncoast instead, so when I heard my best friend had the opportunity to go at midnight to get her copy, I harped on her until she agreed to go at midnight.

Tigercat · 07-15-2005, 07:26 PM

Thats my plan, a late night walmart trip. I need some kitchen stuff anyway, so it will give me an excuse to not look so desperate(for a few minutes anyway) to get it.

I reserved a copy at Barnes and Noble a month or two ago. Since I was already going to have a copy there I figured I may as well go get it.

The line was pre-orders of which I am 140. There were 20-30 more people behind me and I'm sure more showed up after I left.

21C · 07-15-2005, 10:25 PM

This year, I screwed up and prepurchased from Suncoast instead, so when I heard my best friend had the opportunity to go at midnight to get her copy, I harped on her until she agreed to go at midnight. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)

I'll give the one I got from Suncoast to my mom tomorrow. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)
