I just use a little, wooden photo easel. When I'm done, it hangs on a hook next to all my pots and pans (also hanging on hooks).

And my brain will go, "Yeah! Totally! Nothing to worry about! Out of my control anyhow!" And then the hormones will kick in and it will suddenly be all "BABY IS GOING TO DIE! BABY IS GOING TO DIE!"

My mom (born in March) has very severe, progressive MS. MicroDork (my second kiddo) is due at the end of this month...and I now live in Alberta (which has a very high rate of MS). So, thanks, now my irrational pregnant brain is worrying about this, even though I do try to take Vit D regularly (per our family doc's…

Jez comments section is a great pace to learn these tricks. It was a fellow Jezzie who finally taught me how to remember how to spell restaurant. Before I never could remember!

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know YOU know it's bullshit. But the people who tend to support these programs (whether or not they realize how awful they actually are) are most likely the "abstinence until MARRIAGE" types.

Abstinence until MATURITY and abstinence until marriage aren't the same though. One is a great idea, the other is not (popular as it may be).

My mom never talked to me about this stuff either. But we're making sure to do things differently with MiniDork (and MicroDork once he's born and old enough).

I suppose you could call the school and ask who's presenting...then Google them?

Salt Lake is the most famous, so it's probably super busy.

I was married in a Mormon temple (no longer Mormon though). You make an appt. with the temple, and have a specific date and time that you get hitched.

I'm pretty sure I've used the same image here before. But I guess I'll have to download 'em from now on.
