I think they're also particularly high quality because it says they don't get hung up on nipple piercings.

Nox4, a necessary feature?

I simply can't discuss this on this board. But while I can't say it's a necessary feature for me personally, it certainly seems to be a wise approach.

I just learned, from newly 6 year old Ruth Bader Ramone, that her new kindergarten teacher (woman, 50-ish, great reputation) offers birthday spankings to the kids in her class. Having had her birthday the week before school started, my daughter gladly accepted hers, and thought it was very funny.

I had kind of forgotten about the whole birthday spanking tradition. And this seems, to me, an odd thing. Am I wrong to feel a bit uncomfortable with it?

Does she offer them to the Dads?

• A recent documentary produced for Australia's Channel 4 (and described in a July story in Sydney's Daily Telegraph) caught up with a Ukrainian woman, now 23, who had been "forgot(ten)" by her mother and father and raised by dogs until discovered at age 8. Oxana Malaya (one of about 100 known feral children) has the tested mental age of 6, stilted speech and an uncoordinated gait, and still buries any gifts she receives and runs into the woods when she is upset. For the camera, Malaya showed she can still bark, run on all fours, pant with her tongue out, and dry herself off by shaking. [Daily Telegraph, 7-19-06]

the story below it is pretty good, too:

• News of the Weird reported in 1993 that a nude dancer in Tampa had been spared a more serious injury (according to a police officer) when a gunshot to her chest was deflected by her breast implant. In August 2006, an Agence France-Presse report from a hospital in Nahariya, Israel, credited a young woman's silicone breast implant for saving her from a more serious injury from shrapnel from a Hezbollah rocket during the recent war.

OK, is it normal for a pre teen boy, who eats far more lollipops and drinks far more soda than his dad likes to have never had a cavity?

Little fucker (no offense). But I think so. Some kids luck out and either don't harbor, or aren't sensitive to, the bacteria that cause decay. Other kids can do everything right but still have the bad bacteria. I think it's partially genes, and partially environment, because your kids can get the bad bacteria at least from kissing you and sharing cups and whatnot.

This is too late to help my kid, I think, as I've already kissed her at least a couple of times.

Bad dental bacteria pass w/o saliva exchange? Yikes!

Worry not, matey, I just did a blasted google search and learned that, as in all other things, this is (purportedly) solely the mother's fault, arrrrr.

Awesome - I'll just add it to the list of Things to Feel Guilty About.

Did he have sealants put on his molars when he was younger?

I didn't start getting cavities until college. By then my sealants had popped off and I was particularly vulnerable. The grooves in my molars are freakishly deep, do the dentists have said there's nothing I can do about it since the bad stuff will collect there. Since then I have gotten cavities in almost all of them, and I assure you that my Sonicare aided dental hygiene has been much better than it was as a kid.

Yeah, tootsie rolls.

Avoid Chick-Fil-A party platters or you may end up biting on a crunchy bit and breaking your molar clean in half because the 15-20yr old filling just couldn't hack it. And you might scream in pain and make the other party-goers stare and wonder why you are yelling "Fuck!" at a 1yo's birthday party. I'm just saying, it could happen.

Last night I had the following conversation with the Brazenette.

She: Mommy, memeber last night when I throwed up?

Me: Yes, honey.

She: Well, mommy, actually in english it's called puking.

I always found myself partial to the term, shouting at your shoes, or my second favorite, the technicolor yawn.
