        Thanks.  Another user pointed that out to me, I've reduced
        the price to $30, and have a buyer.  The last time I checked
        Radio Shack they were selling it for $89.99, (that's why
        I put up $50).

it folds out into a roughly twin size bed.  Works perfectly, I just have no

The cord around the neck senarrio (sp?) is the best example of the scare
tactics that many use to defend a hospital birth only mentallity.  The
truth is that most "emergancys" are nothing but things to watch out for
in any birth.  When I took EMT training we were taught how to handle situations
such as cord around the neck (which by the way is handled by simply sliding a finger 
under the cord to make sure it is loose so the baby doesnt choke and if it
is too tight you simply cut the cord before the baby is fully birthed) just
as lay midwifes are trained.  Any emergancy that would come up that the 
midwife could not handle would be of a type that would easily be able to 
be transported (ie placenta previa - the placenta being over the cervix
thus preventing the baby from desending down the canal) and even more
importantly in most cases the midwife would be able to determine that 
well ahead of time.  (again in the case of placenta previa the midwifes
skills tend to be so good that they can usually tell exactly where the
placenta is attached to the uterus even - and without an ultrasound or other
type of high tech diagnostic tool) 

And I again want to stress that if you are not comfortable with home 
birth that is fine and there are some very nice and inovative hospitals
around.

3x/day for 10 days.  This time, I decided to try and treat it with
Tylenol and the vaporizer.  She's had this head cold since last Sunday,
the 20th and it doesn't seem to be breaking.  I think it's time to
go with the doctor.  She doesn't seem to have an ear infection but I

We use "bum" for everything covered by underwear. When we need to be
more specific, we refer to the front or the back of the bum. The
exception is clitoris, which Beth at first insisted was a penis
(dis my peanut!) and then proudly told anyone who changed her diaper
"dis my kris!". She wanted to know what it was and we told her. When
we feel that "front of your bum" is too confusing, we'll use "vulva",
a perfectly good word for female genitalia. I really hate using
"vagina" for the whole area. It's wrong, and I think it is used because
"that's what goes with a penis, so it's the equivalent". It bothers
me on some sort of feminist level that I can't explain well.

It is very useful to at least have *concepts* that are clearer than
"down there". For example "I have an owie on my bum." "Where?"
Now whether she answers "where my pee comes out" or "my clitoris"
doesn't much matter in terms of diagnosing the problem, but if
she can't narrow things down beyond "down there", we have a problem.

And while we're at it, who really uses clinical terms as an adult?
I have never said "well, think I'll just urinate before we leave"
or "my goodness I'm spending a lot of time defecating today", though
I might say I had to pee or had been on the toilet a lot.

For me, there is only one requirement in a nursing chair: that it not have
arms. Arms give the baby something to kick against, so he can suddenly zoom 
over a little distance with your nipple firmly clenched in his little jaws. 
Ouch!

Because of this, I've never liked any rocking chairs I've seen, for nursing. 
A glider wide enough for two people to sit on is the only rocker I can see 
working, and I don't have one of those (don't have ROOM for it). The rocker 
is good when the baby needs to be soothed but doesn't need to eat. Most
rockers rock poorly, so buying a good rocker requires a lot of test rocking.

First, an abstract question:

  Do you agree that men should stay out of decisions about womens'
  access to abortion because men never get pregnant?

(Transparent, aren't I?)  If you agree, then you should be consistent
and give his perspective special consideration.  That aside,

* Whereas I'm very solidly in the anti-anti-circumcision camp,

* Whereas every male in my family is circumcised,

* Whereas I get REALLY worked up when some mouth starts in on
  "genital mutilation,"

* Whereas I get even more worked up when some <person> makes the
  absurd comparison (see elsewhere in this thread) between
  circumcision and the genuine mutilation perpetrated on girls,

Therefore note and convey to all interested parties:

  No biggie.  If YOU'RE not Jewish (Daddy don't count, and Muslims
  can wait) let the kid be.  Sure, there could be problems; if so,
  deal with them as needed.  You MIGHT check to see if either
  family has a history of foreskin trouble, but I rather doubt
  that most kinds are hereditary.

  All that said, if you BOTH finally decide to circ the kid, get
  someone really competant to do the job.  From all I've been
  able to learn, I have real doubts about your random
  OB/ped/podiatrist and their ability to do the job right.  Too
  many seem to confuse an MD with divinity.  You might see if there
  are any MDs in the neighborhood who are also certified mohelim,
  since by all accounts they really have to be good.

  Either way, I'll second the other poster who suggested that you
  watch the procedure.  In addition, I'll strongly advise that you
  watch YOUR prospective knifer at his work.  Don't assume that if
  you've seen one, you've seen them all.  Techniques vary widely.
  Someone who knows what he's doing can get it over so quickly and
  smoothly that the kid doesn't even wake up (really!)  (Sort of
  like shots or IVs: some take forever & hurt, some are so quick
  that you miss it if you blink.)

I'm sure at some point or other this topic has been raised here, but
I need recommendations for books about teaching a kid how to talk when one
parent is a native English speaker and the other is not. In my case my
wife is Danish and we are about to have a baby. We plan to bring the kid
up using both languages but we'd like to learn more about just how to do
it. So if anyone can suggest a book or article about this or if you have
any other advice, I'd be greatful. Thanks
