  • Yogi - just a thought for you, I knew a little boy who was interested in dolls as well as action figures too, and his Dad was a bit freaked, out, and even tried to discourage it for fear of the boy being teased...  

• ‘Cougars,’ ‘cubs’ unwelcome on Carnival cruises

  Tue Jan 12, 2010
  • Ah but speaking scientifically women also tend to live longer...to the point that a decent percentage live the lat years of their lives if their husbands are older or the same age as widows, why NOT date someone who may have a better chance of sharing your life for longer?

• Patients face bitter choice: Pay up or lose care

  Mon Nov 23, 2009
  • To be fair I have seen doctors who DO care the way you describe and DO do a lot of pro-bono or near probono work - only to end up having to declare bankruptcy because they never get the payments they do need to buy the supplies and such needed to maintain their practice.

  Mon Oct 26, 2009
  • Ah yes but not every woman who induces early may be doing it for convenience. Some times it's a calculated risk made for the good of both mother and child.
