I apologize in advance if this makes you ill, BUT, those look like the maggots we use on wounds in the hospital to, um, clear away dead tissue. That was what I thought they were until I looked more closely.

I didn’t know that. Breastfed both my kids for a year, plus that was 23+ years ago.

I was wondering that, too.

You are unclear on the concept of gift-giving.

I know, right? When I saw the quote “With formula costing us $80 a week”, my first thought was, why don't you breastfeed? It's free. My second thought was that these are the kind of parents who when this monster grows up to be a jerk, they kick him out of the house along with a bill for all that formula etc. Third…

I'm intrigued. Got a link?

Right? Or how about fat guys who only want to date skinny women? Like they are completely unaware of their beer bellies and chubbiness.

I’m unclear why a “nursing association” or the military would buy these when there is already a company that specializes in responsive medical manikins:

I had ECT and lost a few months completely. About six months is just bits and pieces.

All the women in my family were passing these books around 10 years ago. I have an autographed book( yeah, not so much now). My 70+ mother was reading this stuff. I'm mortified now about how wrong, just wrong these books are when it comes to women.

The author is to blame for writing books based on a woman who is exactly what you said about her. An obnoxious pretentious twat. And a nymphomaniac. Which is partly why you and I read the series with such gusto 10 years ago, but now in the re telling or rereading we realize - this woman allowed herself to be…

Kelly, you can fix this for all of us. You write the sequel, and it will be a million times better than the rapey original.

Pray tell, do not read the books. You will hate her even more.

I can’t edit my own post but I misspelled his name. It’s Elliot Kwok.

Vili is Samoan-American. Anybody want some cheering up with Samoan hula (this performance was done this past week).

Well, it does remind me of my youth (high-waisted being the only way to wear pants in the 80s), and yes, I cringe.

I came here to say this. The self-satisfied guy in the Dodgers cap especially, makes me glad I don't live on the mainland any more.

I had a pharmacology instructor who tried to kill a former student while I was taking his class. He went to prison for a while. I googled him recently, he is now working as a pharmacist in CA. Dispensing medications. His name is Elliott Kwok.

I wonder if the military will change its practices based on WHO recommendations. Currently they support doing c sections in advance of a father’s deployment.
