"And your labor was shorter because of it, not to mention a healthier baby (you'd already been exercising them)! "

Shorter hell!! LOL The little girl took over 30 hours to be born. I was much more active while pregnant with her than the toddler. He only took 7 1/2 hrs though. I was induced with him which I think made labor faster. Of course, if you count the month of painful contractions I had before they induced labor I guess that would make the 30+hours seem short..

[RikaStrom]

Yeah... I'm not for vigilantism per se, but on occasion, I will not lose any sleep over certain actions.

A+

[RikaStrom]

LOL! Very true Consort, very true.

But I have never seen wings on a buffalo yet buffalo wings are on many menus. Is it some kind of Fraudulent thing like chicken fingers?

[xsmommy]

[Conspiracy Guy]

Does he have a baseball players butt too like me? Should he and I give them back to the poor baseball players?

[Texan5]

You poor thing! I can't imagine going through thatfor a whole month.

[secret garden]

You seem to be on a theme today...

[Texan5]

It has been a long time ago (my "baby" got married 5 years ago), but I have not forgotten my (military) doctor's advice about walking, walking, and keeping my weight down. I think it worked, since I was only in labor about 6-7 hours.

[secret garden]

Too bad no one offers frequent driver miles. What did you think of xsbrownie's teacher? Was this your first time to meet? What about xsboy's teacher? Is he changing classes this year? Would you like me to keep asking questions or stop now? ;)

[Laura Earl]

Don't start that again. And yes he has a baseball player-like butt, just like you. Andy, Javy, Chipper, Greg and even Cal still have their butts. You just have butts that are shaped like theirs. Not all baseball player have baseball player-like butts. The Big Unit is a prime example.

[Texan5]

Haha! Naming food items like that is silly-somebody wants you to think it is something it isn't (chicken fingers=ground up chicken scraps and God knows what else).

[Laura Earl]

And a mighty fine theme it is, don't you think?

[Laura Earl]

How about hotdogs?

[Texan5]

Good for you-how much are you trying to lose?

Queen missed their chance to write a tribute to flat bottomed men. They outnumber all the others.

[NeoCaveman]

From overzealous coaches running delayed zone blitzes in a f*ng preseason game.....

First Vick now Pennington, Just damn.

While anti-business techno-anarchists see the decision as a setback for "free speech", the California Supreme Court got it right in ruling that DVD Copy Control Association's encryption trade secrets are inviolable and that the owners of such intellectual property can bar others from broadcasting such secrets over the internet.

Internet trade secrets outweigh free speech, California's high court says
