Ah. Could we possibly have a section sometime in the near future, of a Who's Who and Here's What They Do at Neatorama, and maybe photos of the bloggers? Otherwise, I gotta make up an image for each of you while I'm writing, and I don't want to continue to burden you with false idolatry. :^P
Maybe we *don't* have approximately 600 types of bacteria partying in our belly buttons... and *that's* part of the larger problem of our being *too* clean.
Here's an article from National Geo on our possible lack of biodiversity. There have been serious consequences for our scrupulous cleanliness, inside and out.
Well if you're like me, and I know I am, you're curious as to how Miss C. commented on this post three hours ago, and it says it was posted 49 minutes ago.
So, you could not have taken the money directly.. but most libraries have a fund-raising effort of some sort going on all the time. A suggestion he donate to a 'cause'?
I was thinking of something along the line of a dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies...
The author starts out saying GP's are reluctant to treat children generally. Then further down, it says they're unwilling to diagnosis a complex case when they're not sure what is going on. From broadly sensationalist to more specific... a general practioner in the U.S. would do the same thing. What I wondered was would doctors in each country treat the same for the same reasons - money? Are doctors and hospitals in the UK paid no more than the NHS will allow, and that's all they get?
Quite apart from all the other dangers that come to mind at the idea of leaving a baby sleeping outside unattended... I live in Colorado where the air is very dry in winter and we have housewide and individual humidifers going constantly, to keep our mucous membranes from cracking and bleeding all winter long, not to mention dealing with 'The Colorado Itch'... and baby skin is thin and delicate. Not a problem in New York or Scandanavia?
I really like where you're going with this - it's mortal combat then? Maybe something along the lines of Death Race 2000. Various pope-mobiles could be retrofitted with weapons. A course could be laid out around the Vatican and all of it televised. The winner is whoever manages to accrue the most points in bumping off their competitors.
Thank you, Alex. It was nine years; I'm still here, but changed in ways I'm still discovering.
If I were to offer a parent some advice (I am not a parent) for avoiding backlash in the future from angry, grown offspring, it would be: 'Stay humble. Remember it's only partly about you.'

I thought of another article I read last week online, from Time Magazine and written by Charlie Brill. I found the article very difficult to get through in one sitting, so maybe allow a couple of hours.
