Lord, man. Obviously you need to go shopping.

I know that (though I prefer not to use mine to provide sustenance to a baby) and you know that, but Atticus and Hank seemed uninterested in Ty's wife's boobies. However, maybe they have met her and there is some other reason for their disregard.

Dissent. During breastfeeding, breasts can remain an aesthetic attraction from a distance, but they are not an erogenous zone and diminish in importance in the bedroom until weaning. YMMV, but probably not.

They are very good at what they do, but they only do one thing at a time.

Ty, I swear I have no opinion about your wife's boobies either way. It's not a lack of interest, necessarily, just . . . .

Aw shit. Nevermind.

oh fringe! there are some preliminary steps you'll need to take before you can feed a baby. the good news is, if you take them, your secretary won't mind getting you a dozen doughnuts.

Lactation Lover might beg to differ.

Em's absence from this discussion for so long is conclusive proof that em is either a Bilmore sock or a paigow sock.

Behavior at LL practice
 
Ok so I have a baseball team I am coaching of 9-10 year olds. One kid on the team is a very good player, probably best hitter, and behaves OK at games, though he tends to be "chippy" at practice. Hard slides, hard tags, etc., often directed at kids it shouldn't be directed at.

I have talked to this kid a million times and nothing works. I think now I have to suspend him from the team for a practice and a game -- quietly. I hope this sends him and the team a serious message.

And I don't have to worry what the kid's parents are going to say because he's my kid.

I need your thoughts.

I would suspend him for the practice and one game. You need to sit down with him and remind him of all the warnings he's gotten, and ask why it is that he seems to be targeting certain of his teammates. Even if the discussion proves to be less than fruitful (and it will) at least it will reinforce that his actions are what led to the suspension and also clarify the connection between action and result.

You also need to have a conversation with his parent(s). Whether it's before or after, depends on their personality. But you want to make sure that they hear from you first the reasons why you suspended their sweet little snookems who didn't do ANYthing wrong.

I have no idea what this means, but if he isn't behaving well or in a sportsmanlike manner, then by all means, do what you have to do. I assume he has been warned of the consequences? If he hasn't been warned exactly what will happen, then I would do that first before suspending him and be sure he understands that the suspension is not for whatever the last thing he did was - it's for the pattern of behavior.

OTOH, if he is having a hard time venting stress or frustration or whatever, maybe you can help him learn a new coping mechanism - such as yelling at his secretary, abusing associates, or heavy drinking?

Are you going to be punishing the whole team by keeping him out (you say hes a good player). And what if the suspension doesn't work - are you prepared to cut him from the rest of the season? That could get tricky. Don't they fine the real players when they act out - maybe you could fine him each time - I assume he has an allowance?

Obviously, I need to read more carefully.
