MsA .. I have a query, is it true that its good for you baby to have a small glass of Guiness once a month whilst pregnant!? Someone told me that it was and I got confused. All I was thinking was, isn't that alcohol? But apparently, the iron in it outways all else ..

Well several European countries have said that 1 glass of wine a week isn't bad , but honestly no one knows what the real " safe" limit is since you'd have to experiment on pregnant women and cause severe birth defects to find out. I personally think no alcohol is the safe course since you can't know for sure given genetics, predisposition, and variations if you're going to cause an effect or not and since the effect is permanent brain damage, emotional problems, birth defects, psychological malformation, and fetal alcohol syndrome.. I'd rather be careful than wrong since it's not like you can take it back or undo the damage if you screw up

As for the iron content... pregnant women take prenatal vitamins with high levels of iron so whatever's in guiness would be pointless and not nutritious at all... someone saying that sounds like they are trying to justify their behavior. There are loads of foods like spinach, red meat, etc that have iron in them ( far more than beer)

I think thats the position I would take too. If there's any chance it could harm the baby I wouldn't do it.

I recently found out that a girl I went to primary school with and haven't seen since we were 11 is pregnant. She's not even 17 yet (I don't think her birthday's that far off tho) and all her status' on facebook read are things like "My life is crap, can't believe I can't drink for another 3 months. I have no life." And all I can think is you don't deserve to be allowed to keep this baby! I mean, she's going to start drinking again as soon as its born, if she breast feeds then that baby's pretty much screwed. I feel bad because I'm laughing at her situation tho. Not the pregnant thing, coz I just feel sorry for that baby, but the fact that she spent 4 months going "I want a boy. Can wait to meet him. He's gonna be just like his dad." and then she found out it was a girl ..

Eurgh, people like that just wind me up tho. She's responsible for this child, and she shouldn't moan about it. If she is that bothered about it, she shouldn't be keeping it. I mean, there are so many people out there who can't have kids who would be such better parents. BAH!

Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there ...

Well it takes an hour for a drink to get out of your system so it's ok for her to drink after the baby is born even if she's breastfeeding so long as she times it so she has a drink at least 2 hours before she nurses... no big. But yes her attitude SUCKS!! But it's one of the reasons having kids before you're ready is a bad idea

All babies should be wanted and loved

HA. a few days ><;; we went from 40 to 82 over night. which just rocked :P lol

WuS: you think that's bad (and yeah, thats an absolutely wonderful attitude to have towards such a beautiful little creation), there's a woman in my town who can't have children, and she just adopted this baby from a drug addicted mother who didn't want her (and wasn't fit to support her anyway). so the baby already had a few problems to deal with, but in this woman's care she's been doing absolutely phenomenal. cut to three months later (i.e. the present), this mentally unstable relative of the mother comes forward and says she wants the baby back. SOMEHOW, by a ruling of absolutely HELLISH quality, the judge ruled in favor of said unfit relative, and theyre taking the baby away.

all i can say is: what the FUCK, batman?

Don't get me started on that one.

I *was* enjoying my time off from work, now I'm emotionally right back at the clinic. AAAAAAAA!!!!!

The chickens are laying eggs. We're going to a friend's house for a birthday party tomorrow. I have people coming over for a while on Monday.

Since Thursday I have gotten the plants in, roughed out an enclosure for the chickens, hung laundry on the line for the first time since October, arranged for summer childcare, gotten a quote on gravel and cement for the driveway, weeded large portions of the gardens, dragged out/sorted/attached the hoses and watered so that plants will live, started work on a shift (sewing), figured out how a dress is put together from video clips, done medieval dancing then gone out to dinner with friends, swabbed out a large cabin on my son's school camping trip and had a lovely drive there and back, baked a fruity thing for the potluck, done the grocery shopping, taken out all my summer clothes, packed away the winter stuff, took a nap, and some other things I'm forgetting.

AND I STILL HAVE THREE MORE DAYS OFF!

I had a tiny little surprise this morning.

I was letting the chickens out of the coop for the day, when I realized that the brats who usually camp out overnight hadn't come up to shake me down for food this morning, as is their usual habit.
I went into the machine shed where they tend to roost, to see if they were sleeping in or strewn in a feathery mess across the floor.

(The machine shed is more a rough sketch below waist height at this point, the siding having been negelcted shamefully for forty or so years. I can't keep them in and I can't keep them out, hence the need for building a chicken coop last fall because they were turning into weasel treats.)

I heard a strange noise coming from under some tarps. I recognized it but could not quite place it. Terrified mouse? Demented sparrow? No...

Fluffy butt little chick came out and peeped at me!

SURPRISE!

A hen I'd given up for dead a little while ago had gone broody in amongst the c**p my father's sister is storing in there, gotten a clutch of eggs laid, and is now sitting on at least two chicks with possibly more to follow. Now I am very worried about the hens I'd presumed dead, and the newly not there ones.

I may be up to my arse in chicks within the next week or so unless I manage to hunt them all down.

"Why not just let them hatch?"
Have you ever heard fifteen roosters learning to crow? Not pretty. Plus then I'd just have to kill them all or manage to sell them to someone, which is not as easy as it sounds.

Barkeep! I need a stiff one.

MSA

Friday, May 29, 2009 3:16 PM

HUGS Rosie so they're definitely roosters.. damn Plus now you have to check all possible hidey holes in or near the coop, round up the chickens, all little peeping fluff balls, and figure a way to sell or get rid of them... nice start to the morning. You definitely need that coop...and a stiff drink.

LOL nice try Zero...remember I have ADD and can focus on multiple targets....but your " throw him under the bus" spirit is noted and enjoyed

Ok I am pouting and sulking now... They won't do the ultra sound until June 18th so we won't get to find out if Peanut's a boy or girl until then..SIGH Some irrational nonsense about needing to check Peanut's development and kidneys and all..

Is there a specific reason not to see that new Star Trek? I don't really wanna see it myself (since I love the original chars WITH THE ORIGINAL ACTORS, and I don't wanna see anyone else trying to take their place), but I'm curious anyways...

IMO, You're missing out on a great movie. The actors they choose do great jobs in the roles.

And if it bothers you that much, read below:

Select to view spoiler:

It's actually an alternate universe. Spock from the original series did some stuff and ended up sending himself and a baddie through a black hole. Which then changes the entire timeline and characters backstories, such as Kirks reason for joining star fleet and such

it takes everything from the original star trek, throws it out the fucking window, and writes a different story using the lame-ass excuse of "alternate reality" because of some bogus time travel thing (yeah, i know, they did time travel in ST 4: a journey home, but still, really? recycling old ideas?), and i dont give a fuck what reality theyre in,

spock and uhura NEVER had a romantic relationship @_@

Select to view spoiler:

you can't magically blast yourself out of a black hole. they'd have been torn apart before they even reached the event horizon. teh physics.

Karl Urban's character was overdone because he's tough guy bad ass trying to be nerdy quirky doctor, and although i admire his impression of deforest kelley, he's just not the same Bones.

Select to view spoiler:

That, and the Romulans in their little temper tantrum, wiped out the Vulcans, which are a huge part of the Federation, killed Kirk's dad, killed off Spock's mother--WHO MAKES A FUCKING APPEARANCE IN THE ORIGINAL FILMS EXCUSE ME--i could see killing her if she never made an appearance, but she did; then they wiped out the Klingons, who are one of the most frequent villains to the Federation, then Kirk in his infinite "bad-assness" wipes out the Romulans, yet ANOTHER frequent villain of the series--Kirk gets surgery to look like one so he can infiltrate them in one ep, i forget what the central conflict was. So now, you basically have the Borg, who don't even show up in the Kirk universe, but still, really?

The highlight of the film was Scottie, but he unfortunately wasn't in the film for that long as he made a very late entrance *sigh*

my brother agreed, it really just destroyed what was a great series & collection of films. I mean, if you're not familiar with the original star trek, and you saw this star trek, you'd think that's what the original star trek was all about, and it totally isn't. A trekkie, or even just someone who's seen the films and original series, would watch this and go, "um.....no. wrong." they were basically trying to appeal to a new audience with this one, and it made me sad. I didn't really want to see it in the first place, but the bro did, knowing it definitely wouldn't measure up to the originals, and though we're not trekkies (maaaybe closet trekkies, considering we were upset with what Abrams did with this, but then again i get upset when *any* franchise is ruined by an attempt to resurrect a genre/classic) we were pretty bummed. was it good? as a stand-alone, non-affiliated with star trek (i wish) it was a good action flick, even though the individual scenes were better than the whole IMO. ><;;

I actually thought he was one of the best parts, did a fantastic job IMO.

*sigh*

Select to view spoiler:

Kirk only wiped out the Romulans that came through the black hole, not the entire species. I also believe that the Kligons were not wiped out, I think there was something mentioned about a Klingon prison. And again, in this universe none of the stuff that happened in the original movies happened....kinda. So it doesn't matter weather Spocks mom was in one of the movies or fucking Kirk for the entire series. New timeline means new canon.

Tihs I agree with, I thought Simon Pegg was brilliant as Scottie.

I am by no means a trekkie, but I am a fan of the series and more than a bit familiar and I loved the new film. There's a thin line with remakes, and I think this one got it right. I am quite looking forward to more movies.

Cssshhhccccccssshhhhhh...

Sorry for the bad reception, but I AM posting from NZ, the earthly equivalent of a mudders village. I'm completely jealous of y'all up there on the opposite hemisphere, what with your warm weather and your iced teas and such. All I can get lately is mudders milk. Err, scuse me.

Helluva long thread this one. Beer for me please, barwench/barfulla. Babys belong where they are loved, that decision (see waaay above) to take it away when it was doing so well is plain stupid. Star Trek was great, and even though it was much different it still honoured the originals just fine. Can't be too picky, it IS supposed to be entertainment. Terminator? Err...well...it hasn't arrived down these parts yet. Transmission has been slow since the demise of Mr U-- err, you know who. Shame about the cancellatoin of TSCC though...(And before anyone tries to soften the blow by mentioning Doll House...it hasn't hit NZ TV yet. Sadly, the only way I could see it is the naughty way.torrent)

Nice place you got here...any jobs going? (Polishes a glass with a rag...)

Sorry about you not having good tv without torrent (though if that's the way you have to get stuff, use it! If the legalized version isn't getting provided to ya, then it's the producer/whoever's own damn fault for not providing it to ya anyways!

You're not going to D*C makes me very very sad. :( But if you promise to take a pic of you at the local Con, with the Jayne hat AND the goatee I may be able to smile a bit.

And yay for you having some normalcy and being here! *GLOMP*

Hello everyone! Hope all is well and shiny in your areas.

I haven't slept for 2 days, people. This is not good! I've been downing Bawls (*dirty laugh*) and Red Bull Cola just to function. But I have been catching up on some reading and shows that I've been wanting to see so all is not lost! And I gotta say, True Blood is all kinds of awesome. ^^

Oh and before I post this, to Tex (and I will not bother quoting what was said because it just makes me angry), as a Trekkie and a child of Trekkies I in fact loved the movie and so did my parents. We left there with smiles on our faces, it's been a long time since I've left a movie feeling like that. I could punch a million lil holes into all of what you thought was wrong with the movie, but I won't dignify it with a response. All I have to say is please don't tell someone to not see something just because you have bad opinions. I, for one, go see a movie and judge it on my own merits, and that has opened myself to many awesome movies other people told me were utter crap. So try to keep it to "I didn't like in, myself" period, and save your unfounded ranting for an actual Star Trek discussion thread or forum, thank you muchly.

Ok, I've said my piece. Who wants cake?

apparently lil sleep makes me quite mouthy. totally living up to my "Mean Lil Asian Girl" nickname right now, hehe...
