The mute button is my second favorite button.
My grandfather was a pediatric surgeon in the 1940s-50s. He was very pro-nursing for babies.
I can't wait to see what the 19 year old does to my old Chevy. I'm prepared to see anything.
He only live about a mile from me. It's right on my way to town.
Notice… it’s pure stainless. Not the aluminum like the old ones were & the ones I found in the camping supplies was a really cheap blue enamel. The bubble on top of the lid is even glass. The old ones were plastic. I don’t mind paying more for a good product.$45 for a percolator!?!
Times certainly have changed.
YES! ( Just wait till you hit 70, darlin'!)
387 days to go.
Oh gosh I had a rental like that on a project in September! I had to ask how I start the suckerDon't feel bad, that happened to me when I rented a car for the first time in ages on a trip to Portland in 2017. The key fob had no key (!) and I kept trying to start the car with the dash push-button, but didn't realize that I had to step on the brake for that to work - DUH! And the was NO MANUAL in the glovebox, nothing to show me the basics on the car.
I started to get out (embarrassed, in shame,such an old dinosaur!) to go find someone to help me start the thing, when I accidentally hit the right combination of brake+button and it started. I turned it on & off several times to be sure that's really what worked.
My daughters howled laughing when I told them about it on my return. "Mom, that's the first thing they show you in driver training now - foot on the brake before you can start!" In my day, you'd better be giving it a bit of gas if you wanted it to start...[yeah, we keep our vehicles forever, till they're not worth fixing].
And now I'm getting used to driving my daughter's all-electric Chevy Spark. Guess us old dogs have to learn SOME new tricks!
Now that’s modern science at work - the human body is a perfect machine. And mama knows bestSame here! My mom and mother-in-law were strongly discouraged against nursing when their kids were born (1950s), even told "you don't have enough milk, your baby's going hungry" and it was implied nursing moms were ignorant/lower class, etc., formula was modern & scientific.
There was no one to help them get started nursing, and Mom lived on the opposite side of the country from her mother (who nursed 5 kids!). I remember my little brother crying in the night, hungry, while Mom got up and went through the whole formula prep routine.
I went to La Leche for training & support before my firstborn arrived in 1990; they were great, so practical and experienced. Nursed both daughters, so grateful that they never had to wait when they were hungry, I knew they were getting the perfect food for little humans, and the snuggling while they nursed was precious time I'll never forget. My married daughter followed suit, and by the time she had her first, the maternity nurses were VERY supportive & helpful to new nursing moms.
