and that may be. my point was simply that her experience is not EVERYONE's experience and some Jezzies here are quite rattled by her writing.

Haha, yes, I am learning that ignorance is bliss. I am reading medical and scientific oriented articles and nothing else, if I can help it! This one snuck up on me and when I read stuff like this before it was all abstract. Now that it is real I feel like I need about 10 "NOPE" gifs to explain how I feel.

Slow news day, uh?

Do I agree that it looks totally cheesy?

You're just mean. Who cares About this?

I hate to admit this, but if this pendant was around 9 years ago when I nursed my daughter, I'd probably buy one.
