A light touch with a rubber mallet will also work.... and doesn't leave a mark! LOL HH

Another thought... don't let the baby sleep too long during the afternoon nap. Hour to hour and a half max. Just enough to take off the edge. HH

Here's what worked for us. I would do the last feeding in the evening, sending my wife to bed before the baby went down. I would feed the baby formula, which every doctor will tell you lasts longer then breast milk. Mom and baby would sleep until 2-3 am, breast fed and back down until 7:00am. Crying is excellent for lung development and should not be overly discouraged. Based on the OP, it sounds to me like that baby is waking up hungry. HH

Hmmmm open water on Quinte in December and January.....beats running the boat up on the ice, jumping up and down on the bow to break the ice, to get to open water! HH

Randy, that design has been upgraded. Science has discovered that too much foil at the crown of the head can over load the wearer... you must employ the marshmallow filter. Simply stick the marshmallow to the very centre of the hat, it will deflect the reflected waves to disperse the signal evenly... also works a bait container when out on the water. Keeps the marshmallow handy. HH

You're kidding right? If you believe for a second that any more money spent on licenses would be put into the MNR, you've been drinking too much Koolaid! The only difference the extra roughly $450 a year would make, would be in our wallets. HH

Those fish must know my neighbour's dog! I had no idea that fish would also follow a laser pointer... more fun to come! Thanks for posting! HH

Oh, I get that, but I'm pretty sure that they haven't lowered the ticket prices to reflect the lower salaries being paid to the players... oh, never mind, the plethora of suits being paid big money ate up that "extra" dough... I've seen my share of "rebuilds" over the years and maybe, they will get it right this time. History suggests it's unlikely though. I bet the folks at Bell are drooling over the tv numbers the Jays drew and I get that the Jays are a national team, but the Leafs draw well across the country and should they ever get to the playoffs and deep into them, the numbers would be huge. With that said, I have to wonder how long Bell is going to sit around and wait for the current regime to show some consistent winning. The two headed monster they have for ownership could start eating each other in a fight for tv ratings. HH

If the Leaf's only knew that telling their fan base that they would be sucking for some time to come years ago, I be they would have had banners displayed everywhere! Interesting how the fan base is allowing them to suck and no jerseys on the ice and no waffles being thrown. HH

So I have been doing it wrong all along! I am going to have to re-arrange my tackle box, so I have a section for my marshmallows. LOL HH

You might want to re-think that... it seems as though the Argentinians are still a bit butt hurt over the last confrontation and are once again, claiming the Falklands are theirs. HH

Yesterday's news conference did little to ease my concerns over the hiring of Shapiro. There is not doubt that the man has the gift of the gab and is a polished exec. He sure does know what people want to hear! His announcements regarding Lacava and Gibby may or may not have been genuine, but in my mind, he had little to no other options if he was in any way going to play to the hostile crowd. I'm still on the fence about this guy, but given the lack of choices the fans have at this point, I'm still going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope he doesn't disappoint. HH On a side note, I have to wonder if AA will attend the upcoming baseball meetings where historically, the Exec of the Year receives their accolades. Probably yet another "awkward moment".

I had to stop using IE as it would not let me quote a post. Firefox and all is well. HH

Frank, you have to look at the time lines.... Last November, Rogers tried to replace Beeston with The Cubs GM. They had to ask permission to do so from the Cub's owner as their GM was under contract. Turns out that the owner of the Cubs is a very good friend of Beestons and he let Beeston know about the call. Frankly (no pun intended!), that pissed off both Beeston and AA. Showed a complete lack of class and given Beeston's loyalty to the Jays, it was a really stupid move. Fast forward to May/June timeline and now Rogers has a full blown search on, to replace Beeston. Remember, at that time, the Jays were a sub 500 team with a fairly large payroll. Their record at the indicated that they weren't going to be a playoff team and that they would again, lose money this year. Rogers finds Shapiro, who is accustomed to dealing with a limited budget and he tells Rogers what they want to hear... he can make the Jays a money maker. I took the better part of two to three months to get Shapiro's package together and guess what, the Jays are on a roll and people are coming to the park and watching on TV. The folks at Rogers were probably the most surprised people on the planet. They were caught completely off guard and have been in damage control since August, when they announced the signing of Shapiro. A little back history here... AA worked in his family business, HVAC and left it as he didn't feel it was the right career for him. He is a man of simple needs and is steadfast in his belief that he has to enjoy what he is doing. He could not see himself working for Rogers after the way they treated Beeston. I'm wiling to be that AA had made his mind up long before Shapiro was announced and that's why both he and Beeston, opened up and made the big trades. Hope that makes sense. HH

I've heard that he has to use a cane on stage, just to walk and stand up. He also recently stopped a show after one song, he was not physically able to stand. He told the fans that didn't want to disappoint them, but he could not put on a show. I hope that he can take some time off and get better, but the many years of abuse may well have taken their toll... he says he only drinks vodka these days..... HH

Shapiro was interviewed and hired, before the Jays took off; they were a 500 team. Shapiro was hired based on his ability to show a profit in a small market arena. I'm guessing he told the Rogers folks what they wanted to hear, that he could take a team that had been losing money for years and make them profitable. I'm guessing that both he and the Rogers folks were shocked by the way the team reacted to the trades and the ensuing winning. Today's news conference should give us an indication of what mind set Shapiro is bringing to the table. We'll find out if he is going to appeal to the fans or try and appeal to the Rogers folks. That goal post has moved as a result of the teams success, let's see if he notices! HH

LMAO! HH

Shapiro is holding a press conference at 2:00pm today. I'm removing all sharp objects from my pockets. I hope I am wrong. HH

So sad that Lemmy's health is getting worse. He can't even play live anymore. Thanks for the link. HH

Nicely done! I would have felt sorry for those skinny Pickereyes! Might be inclined to give them a marshmallow and send them on their way! LOL Nice shootin! HH

If you think that price is bad, try getting a quote in the city!!!! My old neighbour had a Manitoba Maple (weed tree) with one branch hanging badly over his garage. They charged him roughly the same amount to remove that one branch and yes, he did get multiple quotes. I'm thinking an OFC gtg with some chain saws and a couple of nimble climbers and tree problem solved! HH

Rogers has fubared this whole situation, from the get go. In any other business, heads would be rolling. I highly doubt that Ed is going to up and quit over this! I am betting the share holders are going to be pretty upset watching MLB's Executive of the Year leading another team to victory. Exactly how does this team convince free agents to join them when they have once again proven that they are completely inept at running a baseball team? I had high hopes for next year and I will reserve judgement on Shapiro until he actually stands up and tells us how he is going to make the Jays a perennial contender. HH

Last I heard, one of the final negotiating points was that the teachers want to keep their sick days and continue to accumulate them over time. I know that my wife, who is no longer a teacher, but a school administrator, has accumulated well over 150 sick days during her career. That means that should she decide to retire, she would continue being paid for about a half a year, while enjoying retirement. Can't think of any other industry that has perks like that. HH

Don't know if you folks saw this or not, but http://www.torontosun.com/2015/10/27/wynne-plans-to-expand-tax-grab-despite-promise So yes Big Cliff, she is trying to destroy this province! Adding an additional 10-15K per house, that generally means added 10-15K in mortgage principal means you won't pay your house off as quick. RE the teachers... I happened to be married to a school administrator and frankly the crap I hear that goes on, at least within the TDSB is nothing short of a shame. The level of professionalism displayed within that group disgusts me. HH

Folks, it's gonna rain tomorrow! The remnants of the hurricane that hit Mexico on the weekend are headed our way. Environment Canada is calling for 40-50mm of rain and wind gusts up to 90K. Nice fall day on Quinte, if you ask me! LOL Just thought I'd put this out there as I know that prior to this past weekend, my gutters were stuffed with leaves. With the amount of rain forecast, I would think a quick look around the house might be in order. Message complete! HH
