I dream of this. Not 'I want it' but I literally dream of it. Finding unused and hidden rooms in a house I own is one of my most common dreams at night. Supposedly it means some shit about untapped potential but I think it just means I feel trapped. I think this treasure room has more usable space than my bedroom…

I was thinking that it would be an even better gift if he was older (and it would blow his mind more), but there was no way they were going to keep it secret for another couple of years. You can't keep something that awesome secret for that long, it's just not humanly possible.

Excellent use of the space, and keeping it relatively empty means your boy can do with it as he pleases.

I just love that they KEPT IT HIDDEN. Have you ever had a gift for somebody that you were so excited to give them but had to keep secret? It's torture, in the very best way. Now imagine that the gift you're hiding is a secret freaking room, that the person you're hiding it from is your kid, and that this kid gets to…

Let me be clear: When I say that a secret treasure room may be the best birthday present ever, I don't mean to say that it is the greatest birthday present ever for a four year old, I mean that it is the greatest birthday present ever, full stop. You know, in case anyone reading this is wondering what to get me for my…

Agreed, I think both drivers are at fault. Kevin should have saved the retaliation for in the pits. Same time, Tony needs to be aware that there is someone near him, and avoid him. Not exactly like Kevin could have jumped in the car and punched him, even at caution speed. We could talk about how this will affect…

Agreed. First off, the kid charging the track could've been hit by another driver just by being on the track in the middle of this practice run. But if Stewart had only intended to scare him by getting dust on him, he clearly saw him and it was intentional in addition to being stupid. Tragic loss of life over…

Agreed. Totally avoidable by both parties. Walking out in front of race cars on a live circuit isn't exactly the most sensible thing to do (even under yellow).

And to add how I feel: There's nothing about this that isn't tragic, there's nothing about this that wasn't avoidable.

It's working here!

Don't you get a fine for that? With my bank, etransfers cost $4. I like doing the "one friend pays card, other people give them cash" thing though, that's always easy.

Except that if I'm the one paying, it takes 5 business days to get to my account, so, nah.

My bank doesn't let me do that, and me and my friends are usually too broke for one of us to pay for a meal for 8 people.

Tranfers are not instant, and paying for a 300 dollar dinner could be problematic for someone.

Ugh, this would make my life so much easier, but my bank is tiny and doesn't have neato apps. To transfer, I have to call the bank and give them the other person's banking information, then wait 48 hours for it to go through. *head desk*

i know this is not the point of your comment, but i'm going to say it anyway (apologies if someone else already has). people born with Down's Syndrome experience a range of abilities, however i think insinuating it is a "catastrophic" birth defect is a mischaracterization and potentially very hurtful. every family's…

the vast majority of women who test positive for Down Syndrome do abort

Down Syndrome is hardly a catastrophic birth defect though.

Down syndrome is serious, but hardly catastrophic.
