Slache Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 DADDY WOKE UP TODAY! He had very clear eyes, followed mom around the room with his eyes, reached for her and squeezed her hand! His "sedation vacation" lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes. Yesterday, it was only 20 minutes! MAJOR victories this morning! Thank you all for the prayers! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Oh yeah, Firefly is very R-rated. Nope; TV-14: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/ Or, 12 for violence, 6 for fear, and all ages for everything else (sex, discrimination, and alcohol/drug use - I thought one of the characters had the world's oldest profession, so, a little surprised they didn't rate is something higher than "all ages" for sex, but then and again, I think little kids will probably miss that (though it's been years since I've watched Firefly, so I don't recall)). The highest rating is of course the one that counts, so, 12: http://www.kijkwijzer.nl/firefly/page26-0-44575.html So, America thinks you can let your 14yo watch it, and NL thinks you can let your 12yo watch it.

ikslo Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I decided to purge DS’s toy closet of unused carp. I included him in the process, of course, and we filled 1 1/2 trash bags. We’re only half done. Next weekend we’ll work on the downstairs toys. :svengo: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I ketchupped. I don't think the kids have noticed yet that I flipped the timeline poster a week or so ago. They occasionally had been nagging me about it (one side goes to 1066, the other starts at 1066). I've been to Canada about half a dozen times. I haven't seen much of Canada though. About half the times I was driving a truck, and other than that, we've been just barely across the border to Niagara Falls, and to the airport, and once to pick up our pick up that broke down when DW drove it back from the airport.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Ds has a sister and other relatives in Canada. So we go to see them on occasion. More often than not, though, they come down here. We have enjoyed going to some small towns in BC for vacation. I like the BC ferry system.

I'm feeling more drugged today, so yes?.... better? But not exactly because my symptoms changed. We had a snowstorm overnight so everyone skipped church (not just me) and that made for a loud morning. Dh got most of the kids out in the afternoon, though. I've been sleeping on and off all day. Tonight I probably won't be able to sleep. :wacko: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Wow, really? I think the ratings have gotten a lot laxer in the last 10-15 years though. I can’t believe it’s only six for fear either when you think of what they said the reevers would do to them. At any rate I’m not letting my kids see it until they’re at least 16. I don't really remember much about the reevers. For the Dutch ratings, the options are all ages, 6+, 9+, 12+, 16+, and 18+, iirc, fwiw, so they must've thought it wasn't that big a deal, or they could've put 9+ or 12+. I do like that they break it up into different ratings per category, but, you're right, they are almost always less conservative than the MPAA etc. Anyway, the intent wasn't to tell you what to do with your kids - obviously all kids and all families are different, etc - just thought I'd mention the ratings for other people. For our "more conservative about what to let the kids watch" ITTers, it's R rated (as per Spud), for our typical American ITTer, it's 14+, and for our more "anything goes" ITTers, it's 12+ (or younger, depending on your level of "anything goes").

luuknam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Common Sense Media's review says 13+ (but, the parent reviewers on the site say 15+, and the kids say 12+): https://www.commonsensemedia.org/tv-reviews/firefly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Part of me is like "hey, I wish Netflix were to get Firefly, so I could show it to the kids", and part of me is like "um, hellooooo... 12+, remember? Your kids aren't 12+ yet". Just 4.75 years to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think the fact that I have to make it a lifestyle is profoundly depressing. But that’s me.It’s not just you. It is depressing. It is depressing because sometimes I feel like everything in my life just....revolves around the wants and/or needs of everyone else. And then, on top of that, I can’t even eat the way I want. And no, i’m Not overly fond of vegetables and I love ice cream and bread and chips, and cheese and chocolate. And the older I get, the heavier I get and the harder it is to take the weight off. And it seems like I have to exert an enormous amount of effort for a very small amount of weight loss. And yes, I am throwing a great big pity party, because while I do have struggles, overall my life is better than a lot of people’s and while I am somewhat overweight, I am not obese. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
