Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Check out the PCWorld article, it explains the concept well. Basically it happens when an installed app decides to use AirPush to send you ads in your notification bar.
 
Razor, you can disable notifications in JB. I believe you long press the notification and you can just not allow it to raise notifications.

I've watched a few episodes. Absolute trainwreck. Makes you wonder where child protective services are sometimes.

I CAN'T believe that came up in here. I live very close to those people, and in fact the one episode I watched, they had come to Statesboro's waterpark for the day. Let me just say, 99% of people in Georgia are pissed at what those people are doing to our image. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, as this app is a notification bar notes app, I do need it to have that capability. :p It shouldn't be a problem though, I exercised the AirPush opt-out. Thanks Pup.

They're ruining the image of everybody in the south.

Welcome to the problem 99% of New Jersey has with the show Jersey Shore. What really pisses me off is that none of them were from Jersey to begin with!

I see. BTW, my use of quotes was not to suggest that my wife and I got rid of them, but to highlight the type of phases we are in. As for squirreling binkies, he used to know where all of em were, now, none of us know:confused:

I am sure we'll get through it, but man is it exhausting:(
 
We were at the dentist, the dentist told my daughter to throw it in the trash, she did, we threw the rest away when we got home, done. :D

My youngest though? Gonna be a nightmare, I already know.

So get this...I go into his room to find a binkie on the floor underneath his crib! Pup...I underestimated his squirrel abilities big time! Dread, I gave it to him...silent as a mouse...pissed at myself for giving in:banghead:

Your son is still around 2, right? If so, don't beat yourself up over it. We used positives and other things he understood to wean him off. Thing like if he dropped it we would tell him its yucky and he couldn't have it until we could clean it. That was especially useful when we were out.

He also has big brothers that did big boy stuff and we told him big bows don't use binkies. This encouraged him to not use it as much because for him, no binkie meant he was a big boy.

Only times I did :banghead: was when I tried to force the issue.:)

Thankfully my daughter didn't touch a paci until she started teething and we had to put water in it and freeze it.

I don't know how to help your situation but my only advice is as pup said.. Positive reinforcement. :D

Yeah, 23 months. No siblings, but when he is around his cousins he doesn't use it at all. It is mostly a nap time/bedtime thing at this point. Thanks for the insight.

Thank you AD. Between the potty training (which he is actually improving on recently) and this no binkie/no baba thing, it is challenging. Maybe we shouldn't be trying too much at once:rolleyes::o
 
That's actually a great idea. One step at a time. We stopped the paci then later the baba and then started potty training. She is only 16 months so the Dr said don't do it for some reason? So the wife said no. :rolleyes:

Any time. I've held many titles in my life. Private, Dork, Geek, Valedictorian, Nitwit, Boss, Guide, Mod. The highest and most honerable I have ever held or will is Daddy. You too.

Wherever I can share my experience for the benefit of another I will.
