Placenta burial is quite common in some cultures. Not to mention that some folks like to cook it and eat it to help with nutrient replacement postpartum (as made famous in an edition of Mothering magazine from 1983).
Oh, and speaking of those horrid tampons, I've been using a menstrual cup for the last two years and it's awesome! Check out http://www.divacup.com or http://www.mooncup.co.uk for more info.

I guess we should defer to the Commonwealth subjects on this one. What do we Yanks know about when our homes are too messy for the Queen?!

A great thread - y'all are fab.
Dating? Like I know what I'm doing.
But, as my sister said, online dating makes it possible to go on more bad first dates in a shorter time than ever before in the history of the world. I had also been stood up, last weekend, by the son of a nurse I work with (she's retirement age, now, ladies, I'm not quite robbing the cradle). He'd been calling me for weeks, had asked his mom to get my number after we met last summer at a work party, and then, Friday ... I'm sitting there in my cute suede skirt ... and he stood me up. Never called, nuthin', and ... sigh. So it feels great to have gone on a wonderful date with a nice guy...who just called to ask me out again! Yay! L.

Ah, so the truth is out!! And here I thought your impending move was 'cause your honey is getting a better job.
The truth is out now gals, it's not for better ride weather or community, not for a good career move.....just new and better dust bunnies.Last edited by Trek420; 03-12-2006 at 04:26 PM.

Yes, but when you get those you move to Nor Cal instead of clean

And I can attest for Sydney_b. She is indeed female, and a fun one to have at your table on a lady's night out.
MomOnBike is good company as well. Turns out we can both pedal and find our way home in the dark after margaritas.
And, this "clean" thing ... don't know much about it, except I saw a recommendation in the paper this morning to use a q-tip to clean the corners of your windows. I about snorted coffee right out my nose. If ever someone mentions the dirt in the corner of my windows, I'm going to ask how the heck they got in my house, then I'm going to put a cleat mark on their behind as I kick them out.

we have a winner
Ok, it's official, in the future whether it's spam or someone on the board leaves the seat up....our policy will be to put our fingers in our ears, hum loudly and talk of placenta burial and/or placenta recipes and their role in nutrition/recovery until they leave.
Eww ewww eww.
ooh, thanks sydney_b for a good idea for TE entrance exam question 3:

Gah, I almost got testosterone poisoned after spending 5 minutes over there.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
