    Is this even possible post....

    Twenty-foot pole. And the little box with an "x" in it.

    Caffeine ?...

    Infants can have caffeine withdrawl. And it can last for months, with feeding problems, vomiting, lots of crying, bad sleep, and other bad things. Poor Lita and Kris. :( I understand feeling bad about it, but I'm assuming (and not asking) that no one such as an OB or midwife told you of this...

    What might you do?...

    And leaving while your pregnant may be a lot easier legally than after the baby is born. Even with custody, many states require written notification to the other parent of a big move and court intervention if the other parent objects.

    Our Little Girl is turning 1....

    She's adorable. I bet you have a great time with her birthday party. We totally cheated our kids. When they turned one we got them...nothing. The avalanche of presents from family and friends was more than enough. We just rotated in some old toys, rotated out others, and tried to make room for...

    Research shows that same-sex couples may provide healthy insight into marriage...

    Yeah, me too. And the knife fights over chocolate would just get messy!

    Learning 3 languages...

    My husband and I are looking into language programs for when our kids are older. I think it's a great idea. One of my nieces spends part of her day in classes that only use Japanese. Another niece will probably start learning Chinese in first grade. I know some Spanish, Italian, Latin, and ASL...

    Research shows that same-sex couples may provide healthy insight into marriage...

    They don't have to contend with estrogen vs. testosterone. What's worse: estrogen + testosterone, estrogen + estrogen, or testosterone + testosterone? Seems like a toss-up to me. :p

    Astrological Signs...

    I haven't even bothered to figure out my kids' signs. I hope this doesn't give me bad juju*. :p <SIZE size="75"> *Not a real concern. I don't believe in astrology.</SIZE>

    Research shows that same-sex couples may provide healthy insight into marriage...

    I love this article. From the New York Times: Gay Unions Shed Light on Gender in Marriage ... A growing body of evidence shows that same-sex couples have a great deal to teach everyone else about marriage and relationships. Most studies show surprisingly few differences between committed...

    Good article about facing the end of failed ART...

    &lt;r&gt;This subforum doesn't get much traffic, but I came across this article and thought it might help women who are coping with the decision to stop fertility treatments after numerous failures. I went through this and spent most of a year grieving for the family I thought I could never...

    CDC: Tomatoes eyed in salmonella cases in 9 states...

    I'm eating a sandwich with extra tomatoes right now. :p

    Smoothies!...

    Me too. And I will happily test any batches of oatmeal cookies. Just send them my way, Happy.

    CDC: Tomatoes eyed in salmonella cases in 9 states...

    Not necessarily. Salmonella lives in the GI tracts of many animals and birds (that's why people can get salmonella poisoning with eggs). Any type of produce can carry salmonella, unfortunately. McD's just pulled tomatoes from its menu until the Salmonella source is found.

    Smoothies!...

    Maybe she just needs a few more tries. My daughter frequently won't eat more than a bite of anything new; she just needs time.

    Shout out section?...

    Regardless of the thickness of his skin and what happened in the past, I think people should stop dishing it out. He's a member of this board, and no one should be the subject of repeated posts such as this. Any given post is not nasty, but taken together I do not think they are welcoming or...

    Ahhhhhhhhhh...

    I know how stuff like that can just make a person a bit crazed, Fallon. I'm unhappy with my husband because a lot of boxed up books in our basement are ruined from water damage. Our basement floods often for a bunch of reasons, and I thought we had put everything off the floor. Every time he...

    Shout out section?...

    Why would Jtee return only to find post after post like some of these? Put yourself in his shoes: How welcome would you feel?

    I feel sick......

    A 7 yo should know that throwing a baby onto a concrete floor - twice - is wrong and will hurt the baby. I hope she gets a complete evaluation by a child psychiatrist and a developmental pediatrician to rule out any problem that could explain her behavior. If such a thing exists, the next...
