Child.   It Is A Terrible Thing Not To Become A Woman When One Ceases To Be A Girl — Scheiss Weekly. Mamacita says: This was formerly posted back in February of 2009, but since so many people are blogging about their pregnancies and deliveries these days, I thought I’d rerun this one of mine. I have others, but I kind of like this one best. First of all, I enjoyed being pregnant. Heck, I LOVED it! When else can a woman just sit and read, and know she’s accomplishing something wonderful at the same time?

Bear in mind, also, that it’s been a long time since I’ve been pregnant, and while the many means of GETTING pregnant have not changed (smirk), the options for delivery have become many, and I can’t help but think that some of them are downright silly. <–That’s my son. I’d had Zappa in only twenty minutes; I woke up in labor, my water broke as I walked the few feet to the bathroom, and we were in the car and bookin’ to town. This was before the days when new mothers had got to spend every waking moment with their new baby. I hated that Big Sissy then and I hate her now, 27 years later.

The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Richard Stallman. In which I consider the latest example of Richard Stallman’s utter lack of human empathy. Dramatis Personæ Richard M. Stallman (RMS) founder of the GNU project and the Free Software Foundation, head developer of GNU Emacs, etc., etc., etc. Stefan Monnier Professeur adjoint, Université de Montréal, and Emacs developer Luc Teirlinck Professor, Auburn University, and Emacs developer Nick Roberts Emacs developer Act I Luc proposes a small change to Emacs: I propose to change paragraph-start in Shell mode and Ielm[…] I can install if desired. After some discussion, the change is made, but problems with the change are soon discovered.

This is very disturbing news. Stefan is very understandably busy with his new daughter, and thus can’t help just now: I just got a baby girl and am kind of swamped. RMS fails to offer the customary congratulations, or in fact any amount of human understanding: I am sorry to hear it. Nick very reasonably offers Stefan the opposite sentiment: Congratulations, Stefan! Finis. SA Child - South Africa Kids Directory. Should I vaccinate my baby? « The Skeptic Detective. Of the many advances of modern medicine, none seems to evoke as much emotion as childhood vaccines. I’m a mom (that’s my son on the left) and like so many parents I had to decide whether or not I would vaccinate my child. Luckily for me there was far less public debate, especially in South Africa, when I was considering the question and the decision was an easy one for me to make.

I decided to vaccinate my son, I had been vaccinated and so had my parents and I had not even heard of the alleged risk of autism. In the past few years there has been a disturbing increase in activity by people urging us to stop vaccinating our children. I am not going to re-hash the arguments from either the pro-vaccination or anti-vaccination spokesmen. Firstly the anti-vaxxers have a website which promotes their position and wants you to look at 14 studies which supposedly show a link between vaccines and autism.
