How to get moved to the front of the line at the food stamp office
Back to the thread, I am very amused by the 2 camps I see with the responses. There is Team "Nobody has ever been killed witnessing childbirth" and Team "Oh, hell no! I will choose surgical options first!"
I remember when my 4 daughters were born, and I was on both camps; 2 of them I was , and the other 2 I was good, even helping my wife during childbirth.
When my first daughter was born I was nervous after that not so much. Also on the first youngin my wife labored for 19 hours the other four we had to make sure she carried a pillow to throw down so the kid would have a soft landing. Our oldest son (kid #3) was out in a hour after the first contraction.
I grew up on a farm so seeing things getting birthed is disconcerting at first but the new wears of quick.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
