I figured this forum needs some humor now and then.

(24,368 posts)then click on "View Image Info"
Copy and paste to your Notepad.
The images have the exact same URL except they are numbered sequentially from 1 to 28.
So you don't have to copy each one, just copy one 28 times and manually alter the sequence number.
Then you could copy all of them, place them in the body of an email or even a PM on Facebook, for instance.
Your son-in-law could then just view them by placing the URL's in a browser.
ORRR!
I could give you the website! How about that?

I used the website "Stumbleupon" to find this, so that's why it has that extension at the front of the URL

(89 posts)You surely are not using a derogatory term for being an At Home Dad? Would you call a At Home Mom a "daycare provider"? Would you call a mom who works outside the home "Mrs. Dad"?
As an At Home Dad, being called "daycare" is offensive.
Blue_In_AK
(46,436 posts)He would laugh.
And I just want to add -- again -- that people around this place need to get a sense of humor. This is the second time in two days that I've gotten chewed out for what is obviously a joke. Get a grip, people. Not that I need to explain this, but I adore my son-in-law, and he does an amazing job with the three kids. Good grief...

(89 posts)People like Richie Incognito talking about Jonathan Martin. Get a sense of humor is what bullies like to say to people.
If your son-in-law is on DU, great make the private joke to him in private messages. If not, keep the private joke private.
Oh and if you get mad about this, get a sense of humor.

(46,436 posts)I'm just wondering why you're so defensive.
Whatever. Have a nice night.

If you don't think it's funny, fine. But I did and I started the thread. You have no business telling others what they can or can't post or what they should or shouldn't think is funny.
That's what the Alert function is for. If you are that wound up about it, alert on it and let a jury decide. Be prepared for a 6-0 drubbing, though.
ajk2821
(89 posts)Cause who are you to tell anyone what they can or can't post or what they should or shouldn't think is funny?
So if I think a joke at your expense is funny, then I should post it and you will defend that joke to the fullest right?

"Racist and woman bashing jokes"?!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
You responded to "Blue in AK's humorous, INSIDE HER FAMILY, joking use of the term "Daddy Day Care" in reference to her son-in-law who is ostensibly a stay at home father and whom I am quite sure loves her very much, with the statement that the term is somehow "derogatory".
Then you asked her "Would you call a mom who works outside the home "Mrs. Dad"?"
Well, what if she did? How in the name of great Caesars Ghost is that ANY GOD DAMNED CONCERN OF YOURS? And why is it any big deal at all if it is said with affection?
Then you make the Grand Canyon crossing, giant leap of all time by going here;
You are equating a known asshole of an NFL player to a harmless inside joke from a family you don't even know? Are you out of your fucking mind?
If you are a stay at home dad and find the term "daycare" offensive, fine. The fact is, if you are caring for a child during the day, IT IS DAYCARE, god dammit. But outside of you and anyone else gullible enough to be convinced by you it is offensive, WHO GIVES A FUCKING, FLYING, SLOPPY TINKERS CUSS?
Knock yourself the fuck out, pal. Go right ahead. If it's funny, I'll laugh. If it isn't, I won't. Either way, it isn't any skin off my nose.
This thread was meant as a harmless diversion for this board that very often gets heated and goes off the rails. It is a JOKE THREAD and Blue in AK was responding to ME, not YOU. For you to suggest to her that she is being a bully to her son-in-law because of what she wrote, it indicates to any rational person that your perspective is seriously flawed.
You've been a member here just shy of 8 months and have less than 100 posts and you picked THIS SUBJECT to complain about? Really?
Dayum, bub. Lighten the hell up already.

(34,452 posts)When we get to a point as a society where a lot of the -isms and stereotypes are a thing of the past, then the advice from people who aren't unfairly targeted (that is my nice way of putting it) will be, Er, better received.

(12,608 posts)Iam 12 years older than my baby brother. One day my mom had to go out. So I babysat my brother, he was about a year old. He had really bad cold and his nose was really congested. I couldn't find the nose aspirator,looked everywhere for it. So I sucked the snot out his nose, spit it out of course. He looked so relieved. When mom came home I asked her about the aspirator. She forgot she had it in her pocket . I said mom ....never mind. My baby brother is 38 now and tells people I saved his life. My hubby might never kiss me.lol

"Now incompetent parents everywhere can benefit from this indispensable guide, which also includes a unique Wheel of Responsibility to help moms and dads negotiate baby chores (and shirk diaper duty!) "
Reminds me of this hilarious review of a dopey fundy child raising book - "To Train up a Child"
The book is, of course, controversial as hell (and rightly so) because the author suggests CHASTISING INFANTS, but the review at the following link is a hilarious, sarcastic slap down;

(4,713 posts)Always make sure the handle to the car seat is securely locked in the upright position. We learned this & many other things the hard way... Thankfully, my son who was the first born was safely buckled in at the time by his aunt who was carrying him. That was 15+ years ago.. .

(24,368 posts)I remember the day, as if it was yesterday, that a guy from a local GM dealership CAME TO OUR HOUSE to show my mom and dad the benefits of these newfangled seat belts. They were going to install them in the Buick for free, if I remember correctly.
I was 4!
Prior to that, we sat on huge, slick, restraint of any kind lacking bench seats.

(4,713 posts)at some point my mother left my sister on the roof on the car in the car seat (not sure if if that was where it went), there is actually a pic of me wrapped around an old wine bottle sucking on the quark & to top it off my aunt talks about the day she went around the corner & the door flew open & all she could do to save me was grab me by my braid.
I grew up on 3 Dog Nite in Western Colorado to say I was raised by hippies is an understatement.

(4,713 posts)are also. I saw no problem with my oldest riding his tricycle down the playschool slide at 3. He had a helmet on and the slide was like 2 feet long & it was in the grass. He never broke a bone until last Dec & then of course it had to be a damn skull fracture playing basketball, but you definitely from your parents silliness.

I guess the idea was to rub the stuff on the kid's sore gums
My father would mix some of it up in a small glass of water with a bit of sugar. It knocked us right out. All night.

(4,713 posts)I won't lie when my kids were 7,6, & 5 & we had to take long flights with them about 30 minutes before boarding I would slip all of them benadryl. They would be out from Seattle to Atlanta. It made traveling so much easier on everyone.

They both had to ride in the front because I couldn't stop them from falling or crawling around in the back seat...huge Buick. How did we ... or they ... ever survive.

(27,247 posts)She had to brake quickly for some reason (I even remember the location, 2nd and Poplar streets, in front of the old Texaco station), and I went flying against the dashboard. I remember her freaking out, but I don't remember anything after that. Apparently, it did not cause any lasting damage
