October 1978.

way to go....!!!! that's so comforting to hear, it really is. I hope that you will take these lessons with you and feel better in life.


I'm hitting 29 years in October, so I can't say that...

I remember the winter of 2002-2003 in Toronto, Norwalk was EVERYWHERE. Hopsital wards were closing, it was crazy. And the worst part was, I was working in Media Relations at the local health unit,...

it's only a matter of time until David does this kind of thing, too. He is EVERYWHERE. it's craziness. he's 2, and he still gets a bottle in the morning and at night. i guess i'm a bad mother too.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is this your first time dealing with this with her? How are you doing? How is she coping? You'll find that very young children are remarkably resilient and...

One time a couple of years ago, my husband told me he enjoyed the lunchi made him, the turkey sandwich. only trouble was, i'd made him a roast beef sandwich, and when we figured out when the turkey...

40 is soooooooooooooo last year - for me, anyway!!!! I'm 41, and I have to tell you, 40 is WAY prettier than 41.


I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!!

NOooooo....you're a normal mom. we call it "waiting for the call" and everyone I know does it.

I beat your record. I'm 41, and it's been 28 years for me...(hope I didn't just jinx myself. http://www.emetophobia.org/forum/smileys/smilies_02.gif)

An A? Not for me. There are some specialty bra stores near me that sell 'em that big but you're quite right, at normal stores, it just isn't good for people like me.

that's a tough one. i feel terrible for you. where are you located?

I LOVE my boobs....I went from a 38 H (yup, you heard correctly) to about a large C/small D. They're still pretty swollen and kind of sore, but I'm ecstatic.


And I'm willing to answer any...

Sorry, should have given the update....thanks so much for asking. My husband & I debated for a while about whether or not to tell our daughter about David being sick and we decided to hold off until...

well, as i just put in a post to curly wurly:


as i was reading the update on your poor little boy, i got the dreaded call from the babysitter - yup, David has thrown up three times today. My...

as i was reading the update on your poor little boy, i got the dreaded call from the babysitter - yup, David has thrown up three times today. My husband is on his way to get him. He's 2, by the way. ...

I totally remember that, Donna. It started right after Halloween and went on through the winter. Your kids were really young then, too, right, like 3 and 1? Wasn't it rotavirus?

I was in a combination bakery/restaurant yesterday and I went to the bathroom. When I got in, there was a bakery worker standing at the sink touching up her lipstick. I could still hear the toilet...

First of all, this is still just a short-term reaction to an illness, and lots of kids go through that and then come out just fine, with no long term fears. But the most important thing your...

How are you now, Liz? And where in Canada are you? Where do you work? When do you next work?

I live in Vaughan, Ontario - not too far. My daughter sounds really similar to your son, Valkyriegirl.....pm me when you get a chance.

my 19 month-old son had 7 ear infections by the time he got tubes in at 15 months. i can totally relate. how are you? how are the kids now?

i love hash, which is something you guys don't get much of in the U.S. but is thankfully available here in Canada.

you guys all sound like me, and valkyriegirl, your son sounds exactly like my daughter, who's 7. and of course we all feel guilt, but we need to take that guilt and turn it into concrete positive...

I'm in Toronto. How can you hate gefilte fish? You just haven't had it the way my mother makes it. LOL

Donna - I'm sorry you're going through this, and I'm not saying I'd react any differently than you are, but I find it really interesting that when we have so much negative stuff to focus on, all of...
