KN, so sorry to hear about the shootings in Seattle. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

fish--one of the important things about explaining birth to kids seems to be to stress that these things happen to grownups, not to kids, so they don't get worried that this will suddenly happen to them. I don't have kids, but I've talked to a lot of people, including kids, about how babies come out. We could PM if you want my thoughts! I'm sure you'll find a way that's just right for Miss Fishjr.

The TimTamTorpedo worked! Whoo-hoo! And you do have to cram the cookie right in your mouth after one swallow of hot coffee. It goes from cold and hard to warm and mush very quickly. But PLEASE tell me that each one does NOT have 390 calories! The label says 390k for "energy". No way that means calories. Oh please, oh please...
