The doctors were flabberghasted that not only he *survived* the accident, but that his ribs, sternum and spine remained unbroken. Apprantly his bone density is incredible, and they put it down to amount of breastfeeding he received during his early years. Yikes! What a story!

While I guess I could express milk at work, I don't really want to (the lady's toilet is not the best place to pump one's breasts for a number of obvious reasons - and can you imagine leaving milk in the communal fridge? I do *not* want to explain to the manager why his coffee tastes weird!). Which of course reminds me of that "office memo" that circulated the net several years ago (which was probably just a joke, but it's a good one): "Whoever used the milk in the small plastic container that was in the refrigerator yesterday, please do NOT own up to it. I would find it forever difficult to meet your gaze across a cafeteria table whilst having a discussion about Java applets or brand identity. Just be aware that the milk was expressly for my son, if you get my drift. I will label these things from now on, but if you found your coffee tasted just a little bit special, you might think of calling your mom and telling her you love her." Joyce |

This person posted on another ng about the family cat getting into his/her
grandchild's crib when the baby was not in it. So to correct this problem they set mouse traps in the crib. Albeit, upside down, but we're talking mouse traps. Said it worked wonders to keep the cat away from the crib. I'm sure it did. In fact, I can just imagine the curious kitty tapping at the trap, turning it over and getting a paw slammed into it. People with this mentality should be drawn and quartered. Hear, hear. And it's not like cats are that hard to train. All of mine know to avoid any tablets I drop (some are very bad for cats) and ditto my hearing aid batteries. A few days, a bit of patience and the training is done. How hard is that?! Using a mousetrap in that way is cruelty, pure and simple. It makes me wonder what they will do when the child misbehaves. -- Andrea Fuller Furry purries Grace, Poppy, Flo and Fliss Folding for the future with the Arthritis Warriors team. |

... Good to see you back, Tak! Stacey (who thinks that story makes Joel an official "breast man") That is an understatement! Before we were officially going out (but madly in love) he had came to the club we met at with a wrenched neck. I spent over an hour giving him one of my best massages to relieve the pain, only to be told that he gave it to himself by oggling some well endowed woman who was jogging past the car he was travelling in! Even more proof that he surely is a dedicated breast man is that he can walk into a lingerie store, and without ever having asking me my size in such things, can bring home 3 different bra types for me, all of which actually fit just fine. I have no idea how does it (and perhaps I don't want to find out!) because even *I* have trouble getting myself fitted with those things. davebait Poor bloke, when I was first pregnant, the boobs increased dramatically in size, but were so damn tender, I bearly stand the water from the shower hitting them, and they were therefore very much completley off limits to Joel. There he was, with his dreams come true, and not allowed to do anything about it! He was most, err, frustrated, to say the least. The tenderness has worn off now (thank goodness) but I can still look down and not recognise these two huge things on my chest - they certainly don't like like anything like my old ones (and don't fit into anything like the old ones either!) /davebait Yowie "Takayuki" wrote in message ...

They may or may not decrease in size after the pregnancy is over. Mine didn't decrease in size, though most women's breasts do. So Joel's dreams may come true, Rob's did. Pam S. |

Why don't you email me some jpeg's so I can decide for myself. You
really do need an unbiased opinion in the matter. :-) Yowie wrote: "Stacey" wrote in message ... Good to see you back, Tak!

Okay, I understand parents love their children. I really do.
This person posted on another ng about the family cat getting into his/her grandchild's crib when the baby was not in it. So to correct this problem they set mouse traps in the crib. Albeit, upside down, but we're talking mouse traps. Said it worked wonders to keep the cat away from the crib. I'm sure it did. In fact, I can just imagine the curious kitty tapping at the trap, turning it over and getting a paw slammed into it. People with this mentality should be drawn and quartered. When I suggested they simply close the bedroom door, the response I got was well, the baby is less than 2 months old and is on an 'on demand' breast feeding schedule and so they have to keep the door open. Oh, and they said it's easier to train the cat to stay out of the room. I don't know about you folks, but I wanted to say, has your daughter ever heard of a baby monitor? In fact, have you?! I also wanted to say, "On demand" doesn't sound like the way I'd raise a child. But maybe that's just me. Jill I recall that post. I don't agree with the mousetrap method, but I've heard of it before. Generally there is a blanket or multi-layers of newspaper placed over the mousetraps so there's no chance of the cat getting hurt. Just startled. I don't think I'd want to close the door to the baby's room, either. But in my case, the cat really didn't want much to do with the little hairless squawking kitten, so it wasn't an issue. Feeding "on demand" simply means you feed the baby when it's hungry, not on a set time schedule. Not as bad as it sounds. :-) Sherry |
