voluntarily.

I am willing to sell them at a discount of US$50, but
I would like to sell them in one chunk.  So, if you are
buying AA tickets worth more than CA$900, you can save
US$50 by buying my coupons from me and using them to
pay for your ticket.

They are transferable to other people, but I was told that I
have to come to the travel agent to sign them over when the
ticket is paid for.

Hi everyone! Seven years ago when my daughter was born, someone
gave me a poem about how babies are only small for a long time,
so the housework could wait, etc, because the baby needed playing
with, cuddling, etc. My co-worker's wife just had a baby, and from
his description, she could use the sentiments in that poem. I searched
the disaster area we call home, but no luck. (Obviously I have taken
the poem to be my new credo! 8-) ) Anyway, do any of you know the
poem I am thinking of? If so, please e-mail me with the words!
Thanks bunches!!

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and have a question.  For the past few days, I've
noticed that when I walk the area where my pelvic bone is, aches.  As if
it was sore.  This is my second pregnancy and I dont remember anything
like this the first time.  The ache doesnt hurt that much, it just makes
walking a little uncomfortable.  

I'm sure its something normal.  I've heard of women that are in their 
8th and 9th month that say that walking is uncomfortable, but I'm only
15 wks.  I have a doctor appt next Friday.  I'm going to mention it to 
him.  But until then, does anyone remember having this feeling?

     I'm always intrigued by relationships in large families, because there
are so many possible interactions.  I think sometimes it depends on the
personality of the child - Matthew, for instance, is the type that loves
control, so he was thrilled when my Aunt Cyndy had her 5th, as he became
a big brother and could help someone grow. (This is an odd number, like
3 which you are talking about, and will lead into my next point.)
     One part of communication that I recall from undregrad school is that
much of it functions in dyads.  These are groups of 2 people.  Now, it is
certainly possible for odd-numbered groups of people to get along well,
but there may also be many times when one feels left out - this is the case
with many of the friends I know who have shared a dorm room with 2 roommates
instead of just 1.  So, this is something you will want to consider.
Perhaps it is better to wait until your kids are, say, 7 and 5, and don't need
the constant quality time.  Then, if they decide to go off and play with
friends, you can spend time with the baby.  That seems to be the way it is
in my cousins' household - if the older ones are off playing with friends,
there is always someone at home playing with the baby.  It would have been
much tougher if there wwre 2 kids under 5 with a baby as well.  Chris often
seemed more lonesome as a 2-3 year old because his brother and sister were
both only a couple years older than him.  He seemed to be the most excited
when Matthew was born.
     Here is one final thought - do twins run in your family?  They do in
ours, and luckily my aunt had twins the first time - it would have been a
lot harder to have twin babies and a 3YO running around.  So, if it's possible
you could have twins, make sure that you can handle 4 as well as 3, just
in case. (I know, it's a 1 in 7,000 chance, but it just seems to happen very
frequently in some families.)

Not exactly, but my best friend related this story to me this week.
She and her husband have made my husband and me the designated 
guardians of their 6 yr old daughter in the event of their death.
This week Annie was asking her mom about who she would live with
if mom and dad died.  Her mom told her that she would live with us.
Annie protested that we couldn't be parents, and her mom pointed
out that we were Madelaine's parents and were even going to be
parents to another baby soon.  No, Annie protested, "they can't be
parents.  They're too silly."  I like to think of it as being young
at heart :) and am happy that others notice.

Actually, there is a fifth group: drugs.  Clearly, this is where
alcohol and caffeine belong.  (Marijuana, though, is a leafy green
vegetable.)

Ob-SciMed:  Oddly enough, alcohol really is a food, since it provides
calories.  Or so my high-school drug-education teacher taught us.

If you're not a Charlotte resident, but have made a long-distance
