A local McDonalds here in northwest Austin (13729 Research Blvd. - if
that helps later on) has a rubbery, cushy, surface on their
playground.  It doesn't get muddy or dirty like bark, and doesn't
hurt little ones when they fall like other surfaces can.  It is
a very nice surface.  I don't know anything about it, but I suppose
you could get investigative and call McDonalds Corporation -- maybe
they have a "Playground Division" or somebody who could talk to

That reminds me of the daughter of nearly illiterate parents whose given
name was Pajama (pronounced Paj-ah-may).  I guess they had seen a picture
of a cute little girl in an advertisement for pajamas and taken the name
from there.

Let's try and get a few more facts in here. The custody of the children in
question was awarded to their mother. The father illegally kidnapped the 
children and illegally smuggled them out of Australia.

The father's uncle was interviewed live on Australian television, and was
specifically asked about the possibility that the little girl would be
circumcised. His response (from memory) was "Oh, yes, this would be for 
sanitary reasons.  This is not mutilation, this is routine."

This fellow was not a stooge of the Australian media - he was a member of the
Malaysian royal family. I don't know whether he was right about the operation
being routine. I hope that he was not; it sounds atrocious.

I should have pointed out here that the problems with insurance are most
probably related to the type of murmur.  Adrienne's murmur is a VSD or
Ventricular-Septal Defect.  Basically, I believe this is a hole in the
Septum dividing the left and right ventricles of the heart.  The murmur is
caused by a backflow of blood from the ventricle that contains the oxygenated 
blood to the ventricle that contains de-oxygenated blood (I think).  The
comment the cardiologist made was DEFINITELY about VSDs.

Not always true.  My daughter usually (75%) wants mom to put her to bed, but
if she wakes up, it is almost always(95%) daddy that she wants.  (And he goes,
too)  She's three.  (You want to see pictures?  I have lots! :) )

I need some serious help, please...

My husband and I are definitely not interested in producing a child
at this point in our lives (if ever) but we *do* desire to raise a
child who might not have a decent life otherwise.  We've begun 
researching African adoptions (PLEASE, *no flames* about interracial
families' problems!  We're prepared for that!!) and the scariest
thing we've encountered, aside from the possibility that our child
may have AIDS (prescreening is not 100% effective), is that she may
have been "circumcised".

Apparently it's common custom in several African nations to remove
the clitoral hood, the clitoris and some, if not all, of the labia;
any/all of the above terrify us because in this society how *does* one
raise a child who's been mutilated like this?  How can she be prepared
for the kind of adult relationship she would almost surely have, and
what physical/psychological effect would this have?

We're pretty much decided on a girl because we'll probably get an older
child and we've been advised that, for us, a girl would be the easier
sex to raise.  It would be very cruel to specify that a little girl be
passed over just because she's been mutilated like this, but, as a
woman, *I* don't know how I'd handle this.

I look at this as being very different from male circumcision, BTW,
because it's such a prevalent thing in our society that it tends to be
the "norm" - with girls, however, this is done when they're in early
childhood and quite capable of remembering it vividly.  It's also
very painful from the details I've gleaned...I get light-headed thinking
about it.

Anyone out there who's raised a child who's undergone this "surgery"?
Any adults who've had it done & can remember it who now live "normal"
lives?  Any specifics on how this will affect her sexuality later,
particularly from people whose partners have undergone this?

I just want a healthy little girl who'll be able to live a good life
without serious years of counseling to survive in this culture.  We
do, BTW, plan to keep her African name and give her a middle name and
let her choose when she's older.  She'll probably be approximately
4-5 years old when we get her, age can't be too specific.  We're
possibly going to get a child from Malaysia and we won't have any clear
details on the adoption for another 4 mos. (we need to be screened,
approved by the Malaysian gov't, select a transporter, wait for HIV
testing, etc, etc.).

All help is *much* appreciated.

Two of my three sons experienced problems with GE Reflux. My third son, now
10 months old was placed on Bethanacol and Reglan at about 4-6 weeks of age
and they - at times seemed to help immensely. It definitely reduced the pro-
jectile vomiting, which was a major help! They did x-rays to verify that it
was indeed GE Reflux, but he didn't have to do anything other than drink a 
bottle while they did it -  so that never caused him any problems. I don't 
even remember him throwing that up! He's been off the medications for a few
months now and there are no major problems anymore, so hang in there! It does 
get better.

Just wanted to add a big YES to this one.  I also have a Husky (wonderful dog
within the family) who would like to dominate the world.  He looks so friendly
when he approaches or is approached by people.... ears up, smiling, tail up...
so people always want to pet him (he's also very beautiful).  But wouldn't
you know it, half the time he does things to scare the hell out of people
once they get close to him (and half the time he doesn't).  If people act
too afraid or too comfortable, he makes sure to make them un-comfortable.

Sure wish he wouldn't do it, but that's his personality.  So I usually tell
people not to pet him unless he's in a real relaxed mood.  I prefer that
unfamiliar children NEVER pet him because they are right at eye level, and
when they look in his eyes it makes him want to jump on them.

Sounds great, huh?

Thanks for a well thought-out post, Andrew. I do take minor exception to
the statements noted above. Welds, rivets, stitching, and even plastic
surfaces surrounding such joints cannot be visually inspected. This fact
has given rise to a large body of technology in the aerospace business
called "non-destructive inspection". Any joint can be near failure and
appear OK to the naked eye, even under magnification. 

I'm all for environmental protection, but I'm unwilling to bet that one
of these joints won't suddenly fail the next time severe stress is applied.
With my kid strapped in, the price of losing that bet is just too high.
I personally like the idea of dismantling the device and recycling the
recyclable materials.

Here's to preserving the kids AND the environment...

Trying to be asleep again the other morning, I heard my son, age
2.75, tearing up little pieces of paper and counting each one off: 
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

He then lifted up the edge of the mattress and stuffed the little
slips under the mattress.

Unable to contain my curiosity, I asked what he was doing.  He
replied, "Mom!  Me put paper under bed, (in order to) scare Bad
Guys!"


I don't know which I'm more tickled about--the counting to eight
(we've *never* worked on counting, and he almost never sees Sesame
Street), or the first observed magickal working!

My understanding is that when you cook with wine, the alcohol evaporates,
leaving only the flavor, since alcohol has a much lower evaporation point than
other liquids. I would say enjoy - French food is great!
