Someone should tell Dr. Sears that he's full of shit, too.

Atticus, my boy, I think that everyone will agree that I am mostly correct* when I say that the grief you got was because it
seemed like maybe you were being just a wee bit condescending and judgmental in your posts about pain control during labor. And, based solely on my experience with Mrs. Not Bob, I think that some women tend to get annoyed with men who say
anything about childbirth (other than, "wow, I don't know how chicks do it").
I still love you, though. :love:
