Oh, thanks, I'd never heard of thread drift before.

my fault for bringing up the opposite side of the equation. I've never quite understood the prohibition against thread drift. Obviously.

I like it.
As long as it doesn't start in the second post.

Sorry - I was being facetious - my sarcasm doesn't seem to come across well in text. Seems to be getting me in trouble lately.

Just got back from a weekend in Colonial Williamsburg. Great trip, but my least favorite part was the hotel. Our kids (a first and a fourth grader) can't share a bed. They constantly fight about how the other is crossing the middle line and coming onto "my side."

So to shut them up, I slept with my son, and my wife slept with my daughter. Turns out they were telling the truth. My son spent both nights kicking me and flopping his legs across me. He can't stay on his side of a queen sized bed. My wife had the same complaints about my daughter.

So I think it's fair to say that once your kids have been sleeping for years in their own beds, it's not going to work too well to sleep in the same bed. Next trip, we bring their sleeping bags and they get the floor.

That's because Palin is just going to shoot them, so what's the point?

And it doesn't get any better when grown up & married, which was the original point, undrifted.

I do miss being able to put both my kids in the same bed, in a hotel or camper.

It won't stop it. Even with limbs confined in sleeping bags and the entire floor to share, they'll still be in each other's space.

Stick one of them in the bathtub.

the reason why in "i love lucy" lucy and ricky slept in separate beds was in the 50's, tv shows couldn't show people sleeping together. it was a modesty thing.

I don't think I could ever go to sleep cuddling someone. It's just uncomfortable! When me and my girlfriend sleep together we just turn butt to butt fetal position when we're ready to actually sleep haha.

Sundae · 07-07-2010, 11:20 AM

I thought that until I met the evil ex.
For some reason we just clicked sleepwise.

I blame that for the scales not falling from my eyes for far too many years!
