I’m sorry about her bite…Mary Jane, I love your magazine and am a devoted member of the forum, long term, but please, please, please don’t write, “pit bull”. Just say “nervous dog”–as inocuous as this post is, it just perpetrates the terrible stigma attached to this breed. In my whole life, the only dogs I’ve been bitten by was a “nervous” schnauzer and my auntie’s mean chihauhau…my Pit Bull runs from thunder claps!

Uh-Oh! How bad is it that I was standing at my desk eating while reading this? Very, pretty, really, awful bad! Thank you for the blog head slap. I will do better. Today. At lunch…

sigh…

Ain’t love grand!!

I just met my “soul” mate at an antique store in Dallas, Texas! Beautifully stitched, perfectly pre-stretched, gently worn tan boots…just sitting there, waiting for a size 9 country Cinderella to come along!

Happy boot-scoot-boogie birthday, Megan!!

My dream is to meet you! To say thank you in person. How’s that for inspiration….

Hi,yes,I remember doing that too,I used about 4 doz a day at first I think,washed them all,I also miss those hard white leather shoes babys wore and the drawstraing nightgowns,babys used to look like babies,not grown adults.My baby is 35 now,I don,t regret being a stay at home mom,or washing all those diapers.I did not breastfeed,and I regret that,I would of but,the formula companies were pushing formula then,and I felt pushed at the hospital to get a shot to dry up my breast,bad idea,my entire hip turned black as cole,and I hear now that they have stopped that all together,and that it posibly could cause cancer,I hope not,It was a shame because I had lots of milk.And if I had it to do over,I would breast feed.I was only seventeen,and I wish I hadn,t of been pushed.I was timid and let them walk all over me!They sent me home with four samples of formula,and brand new product,called newborn “Pampers”,they were so new that they were not sold yet in our town.My hospital stay cost $800.00,thats all.have a great dy,blessed be,carol

Butterbeans???!!! I thought only southern women called their baby’s bottoms butterbeans? Oh how I laughed when I saw that MaryJane! Do other folks also call girl parts “pookahs” Years ago, my 80 year old ob/gyn confided that “pookah” was his non-medical word for the female anatomy. I was so relieved to know that doctors had words like that instead of the awful technical ones, that I immediately adopted “pookah” for my own use. 30 something years later, all the females and most of the males in our family of mostly girl children use this word both seriously and affectionally for all the girl parts. And we are fine with that.
