pssst, Lainie, ya know that mother in law who would NOT stay off your BACK? 
The one who just hovers at your elbow knowing a far better way to do 
everything, and even wants to suggest how you wipe your own .. um, nevermind.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO WITH THE OL' BIDDY!!! Have _HER_ make birth 
announcements, proclaiming that Martha Said It Must Be So. Put a little 
quiver on the end of the declaration, sigh helplessly about how you can't 
possibly do it AND breastfeed, etc. Before you know it, she'll be 
volunteering and falling all over herself to do it for you.

Not that I intend to have anymore than the 4 I already have.  BUT, for 
those of you who have yet to partake in that miracle of life, file this 
away as a hint.

Regards,
and chuckles,
Maggie

What appalls me is- what planet is she on? Has she ever given
