    How's the swim cap? I'm thinking about getting one for my kid but my wife says they're a real hassle to get on/off.

    I've never had to help her with one, so no idea! She didn't have one until she started competing.

    In my experience it's no harder than socks (or a condom). Pull long hair into a bun like loop. Fold up the bottom half of the cap. Place on small child's head and roll down. Tuck in any stray hairs.

    Casey, if you ever need to help her with the swim cap, I'd be disappointed if you didn't use the trick where you fill the cap with water first and pop it on.

    Also, they're fragile. As we found out when one broke at a meet and we didn't have a spare.

    Aren't they made of rubber? I would've thought it would be more resilient than that.

    I assumed some kind of latex.

    Depending on if you are trying to keep her hair dry or just out of her face they also make them out of swimsuit material too and I've found those are easier.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
