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.

Not quite right?
 

Does she offer them to the Dads?

Nature/Nurture
 

• 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]

Nature/Nurture
 

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.

And to no one's surprise, her favorite sex position is . . .

Badump bump.

It's all in the genes . . .
 

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?

It's all in the genes . . .
 

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.

It's all in the genes . . .
 

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

It's all in the genes . . .
 

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.

It's all in the genes . . .
 

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.

It's all in the genes . . .
 

Yeah, tootsie rolls.

It's all in the nuggets . . .
 

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.

It's all in the nuggets . . .
 

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.

It's all in the nuggets . . .
 

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