Great news! How old is your son now? Is he excited as well now that he is a "big" brother?

I've has the same Tag on daily since 1990. It's taken an obscene amount of abuse and I did replace the crystal and crown after a particularly serious mishap about 5 years ago. (I used to climb poles in my younger days with Comcast and yes I would still wear my Tag while doing so!) I...

To all Head-Fi dads! Enjoy your day. ...and the rest of you, don't forget your dads today.

Ah, the shame. I posted without doing a proper search. But it is a good deal. I always wanted to try a pair and you can't beat the 1/2 off regular price.

Buy.com is selling them for $81.99 with free shipping. Plus here is a $10 coupon. Not bad for $72 shipped. Get them while you can.

As a parent of two, I know exactly how you feel. No matter how diligent we may be, kids will always seem to put themselves in peril. This was not a case of neglect or abuse. It is normal to think that this was your fault, the parental instinct is strong, but accidents happen and you did react...

It would have to be the original "Darkest Desires" thread in the music forum. It was closed after reaching 1000 posts, and part 2 was started. (up to 5 now?) They are all really the same thread and should count as a group. I believe the 1000 post limit was due to the forum software limitation...
