I appreciate that LW. I guess I'm just feeling particularly sassy today. Ashley slept through the night last night, 12:30-7Am, so I am feeling like I can take on the world today. I did mention it to Brad. Just please understand that this site is pretty low on priority since Brad and Co. are swamped with work that pays the bills right now. I will do what I can to try to influence change though.

On the other hand, I am tempted to laugh you to scorn Laugh away. I will take you to task any day on who knows true happiness between the two of us. ll your husband to fix JU so I don't have to sign in twice. I don't tell my husband to do anything. Report your problems to tech support please.

I mentioned it to a friend who had her baby about a month and a half ago, and she looked at me like I was a freak, and told me, no, she is NOT experiencing that. I talked to a lot of women too and none of them could relate but none of them had more than one or two kids either. I have a theory that hormones build up in your system and accumulate with each baby. I don't remember any hair loss with my first, maybe slight thinning with the second and, as you put

Beautiful kids! I love the pics of every day stuff. They are way better than the posed and positioned ones. Thanks for sharing.

Cute idea. Just don't let them start collecting their skin or nail cuttings! They both think skin and nails are gross so I'm not too worried about that. But its a good idea for boys because they seem so competitive about everything They sure are! Big headed! Hahaha! That is going to take some living down. He loves the story about having a big noggin wh

Insane, unfreakinbelievable hair loss that my LLL leader said could indicate post partum hypothyroiditis. I had that too! My doc checked my thyroid levels and said that I was on the low end of normal and that my hair would start growing back on it's own. I didn't believe him but it is starting to grow back now (8 months later!). It had been coming out by the hands full especially in the shower. Hope yours is not thyroid either. I agr

I took my boys for hair cuts after school. For some reason I can't relate to, these boys still don't like getting their hair cut. Yesterday they found a way of making it fun though. They had the idea to take sandwich bags with them and collect the hair as it was being cut. They then compared "hair balls" to see who was the champion hair loser. They found the balls came out extremely similar in size so the stylist weighed them on her digital scale that they use

But I would think they could at least imagine a lot of pain? I couldn't have imagined how painful it would be to give birth to a 38cm head before I did. I couldn't have imagined how painful gall bladder attacks are. I couldn't imagine the pain of having an inexperienced nurse try to yank a cath out without deflating it. Yeah, I've experi

I think Harry and Voldemort both die battling it out. We all know they are linked and I think if one dies, the other dies too.

It doesn't have to be a 15lb baby! It's all about head size Seriously, I think only one doc ever used the "rate your pain" correctly by having me describe the worst pain I've ever experienced as a reference. Some people just have never experienced serious pain.

I feel your pain. Something similar happened to me at the zoo last Summer but I know for sure that people saw me. I was very pregnant and had a maternity skirt on over support hose (trying to tame my vericose veins). Well, apparently the hose were quite slippery and it was a very windy day. We were exiting the zoo and all of the sudden my back side felt very drafty. I stopped the boys in their tracks and noticed that the back side of my skirt had slipped all the

My advice for children would certainly be extreme caution when it comes to interacting on-line. Anyone who's ever watched Dateline can say "duh!" to that. We watch our kids on the internet very carefully and they know not to give any personal information out. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quo

And, honestly, if I saw her advertising for a pair of jeans, it would encourage me to go shop at that store. Me too! If I see nothing but size 0 models and manequins, I walk on by. It pisses me off when they even have tiny manequins sporting the clothes at plus size stores. They have the plus size clothes all pinned up to fit the "normal

I just saw that commercial! Weird! We had a bunny once when I was a kid. It was black and we named it Jamie because we didn't know if it was a boy or girl. Soon found out it was a pregnant girl. My dad made us give it away. My parents grew up on farms and really didn't like pets other than dogs. We had dogs my entire life. My aunt had a giant lop ear that was nasty. He would get mad and flip his legs up and pee across the wall. You're right, bunnies don't like to cuddle

I can certainly relate to a lot of this. I am on board with the grocery bagging! If you went to a gift store and purchase something for $100 dollars, you can bet they would take great care packaging it up for safe travel. You spend $100 at the grocery store and you have some kid throwing cans of soup on your bread and tomatoes. Argh! I love getting a peak at how other people live. Having two boys and a baby girl that I'm caring for on my own for 99% of the time allows me to sympath

What inspired this? I'll have to disagree about the chardonnay I'm a red wine person is all. Chic, pronounced sheek , is actually a french term for fashionable. It doesn't have anything to do with "a girl". On another note, the only person I enjoy calling me "babe" is my hubby unless I am being referred to as "a babe" which I don't think happens <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif

My answer is that you will never know if someone on JoeUser (or any internet site) is good or bad.....because you don't actually know them. Actually, I know quite a few JoeUsers. A couple of them I haven't met in person but I can judge them by their actions (dharmagirl and Texas Wahine for example). There are a lot of good people here in my opinion. But like a lot of you have said, "good" is a very subjective term. That is exactly why I posed the que

Yeah if ya don't like the weather around here just wait a minute and it'll change. That's what they say here in MI. Yesterday wasn't a bad day. It was in the 50s and sunny. It actually felt like Spring was sprung but then we went back to snowing and blowing. I'm so sick of cold weather! The poor kids are stuck inside for Spring break Might I say, the poor pare

I was having a discussion with my 10yr old about people we know and people that we have come in contact with via the internet. He asked me if someone on JU was a "good" person. The question got me thinking. How do we discern good people from bad people? What's your definition of a "good" person? I guess I consider it good to be a truthful, responsible, genuine person. Good people are moral, kind and don't do things to intentionally hurt others. Go

Wow! That sucker's big! Thanks for sharing. Izzy sleeps in the crook of my arm, so it is impossible for me to roll over on her. That's how I've always slept with mine and you can't roll on them unless you dislocate your shoulder. Your partner can't roll on them because they would hit your arm first. The only instances I've ever heard of anyone rolling on their baby had drugs or alcohol involved.

I want to see the stone! Man, you poor thing! I've heard the pain is a lot like gall bladder attacks (which I've experienced) so I can sympathize with the wanting to die feeling. So glad that you got it passed. Here's hoping you don't have any more! I always love seeing the pics of your beautiful kids. I really need to post some of mine. I don't know where the time goes! As for anyone telling you not to co-sleep, ask them how natural it is to stick a completely he

Is it logical that things just appear once out of nowhere never to be repeated again? Do insects have an afterlife then? They were created and die just as we do. Why should we be that different? What does that prove jill? It doesn't "prove" anything. That is my point. We can theorize all we want. If you could prove anything about the afterlife we wouldn't need to discuss it.

That's why he said "who do you say that I am?" For a Christian it all comes down to that question. And that's where faith comes in, not logic. Just to be clear to those like Thinkaloud, logic only gets you so far with religion. Faith is the base. You build your beliefs on a foundation of faith not logic. I am truly happy for those of you our there who have strong faith in your religion. It's a security that those without faith don't have.
