I don't. I think I've had a loit myself today, which has led to me vomitting on this board since this morning. I just can't stop and I don't know why.

Why, yes, yes they do. It's one of an infinite number of cool tricks motherfucking nature has in store for women.

Yay!!

Someone is in for a surprise (maybe pleasant, maybe not -- YMMV). We use Mrs. Finch's nursing bras for hanging plants.

Good for you. Not to mention the fact that people who overstuff their carry-on and have to spend 10 minutes cramming it into the overhead clog up the line and hold up the people behind you who just want to get on the fucking plane.

Um, seriously you think that you will have breasts a couple cup sizes bigger forever if you don't breast feed? I think they deflate -- it's just that the deflation isn't as horrendously icky, because if you had breastfed they would be puffing and deflating, puffing and deflating, puffing and deflating for months.

I have gotten too used to American's extra legroom to like any other airline. I check everything I can because I hate trying to maneuver a bag around in the restaurant where I stuff my face and drink heavily before the flight, and in the bookstore. And I'm lazy. I think I had my luggage lost once in college or something but they delivered it pretty promptly to the house.

OTOH, I don't travel that much.

Do you fit all your stuff in one bag, then? Because people who carry on more than they should and fuck over everybody else suck.

Amen, sista. I grew weary of battling my fellow travelers for that extra inch of overhead storage space and now (unless what I'm packing really is minimal) simply check it.

Instead of climbing over the dead bodies of my competitors to get on the plane as early as possible in order to shove coat, bag and briefcase into 8 cubic feet of overhead space, let me hang out in the terminal avoid the line, and walk onto the plane after everyone else has boarded. Good karma, less stress.

I think the medical establishment has pretty much backed off the caffeine is generally bad for you view. The pregnancy books still make a big deal out of it, even though there is no evidence that moderate caffeine exposure during pregnancy is bad for the baby. This is because pregnancy books generally suck -- which is why I don't read them anymore. Most experts now recommend now that you don't overdo it because it can overstimulate you and make you anxious, if you're susceptible to that, which is bad for the baby.

I'm a bit more sensitive to caffeine now than usually -- my heart gets a little racy -- so I've cut it by about half. But I tried to kick it for the first month, and I knew there was no way I was going to make it, so I found research to support my need for the caffeine.

Also, if you consume a lot during pregnancy, the baby can theoretically suffer withdrawal after birth. This would make the kid fit right in with my family. There's not a one of us who can muster intelligent thought or civil discourse without that morning cup.

And yeah, I know, I'm boring. Snooooooooooooooze.

Funny timing on this. Last week I kicked coffee for about five or six days, and if you know me, you are probably shocked, SHOCKED, to hear this. I grab a cup of coffee before I even pee when I get up. I was literally walking around in this surreal, mellow haze. It was like taking xanax. Almost exactly the same feeling. It aint bad, but it isnt real productive.

I hate those people. Hate hate hate. The Sebby inside wants me to kill them. Kill kill kill. Is that wrong?

I just kissed my dick.

That makes me NUTS, even when I'm already seated. Plus, they're always the ones who then have to take off the jacket, and fold it, and put it in the overhead, and move other people's stuff to do so, and make a million fucking adjustments before sitting their pain in the ass oblivious to the existence of other people talking loudly during the entire flight because they don't know their grating voices carry asses in their fucking seats.

I do the waiting until the last minute to board thing also. My carryon is an attractive but small leather tote that fits under the seat in front of me.

I carry on only what I can't do without, what it would be a huge PIA to replace, and what I might want immediately (you know, a fresh bra, panties, and shirt, a toothbrush and my favorite face lotion, my sound soother thing from sharper image (can't travel without it), and if I'm bringing one on the trip at all, a bathing suit, because you can never find one you like when you don't have one). It all has to fit in one bag that goes in the overhead without my having to shove everyone else's shit out of the way and then struggling to shut the compartment door. If I'm flying for a wedding or something where my attire is very specific, I try to carry it on if I can -- fold the dress in tissue and plastic and hope for the best.

Otherwise, I don't like the hassle of having all that carry-on shit with me in the terminal, and I like to be a decent citizen on the plane and not take more than my share of storage space. I'm building up good karma, which I'm definitely going to need for future plane travel.

I carry on. I bring my roller-board suitcase and my purse. My purse (containing the crucial iPod and headphones) goes under my seat. My suitcase in the bin. I never need more room than is available in the carry-on size of suitcase. If I'm going somewhere for a long time, I just make sure to bring only slutty little clothes in order to make room. And I have allowed space in my luggage to dictate how many pairs or shoes to bring.

I have no patience for waiting for luggage. After sitting on a plane for hours, that is the last thing I am willing to do. Just get me the fuck where I am trying to go.


ETA: I travel quite a bit and I am very efficient with my getting stuff stored and getting into my seat time. I am a no dilly-dallying type of person. It seems that the infrequent pleasure fliers are the ones who take forever to get their overabundant shit stowed and continually have to get up and sit down to get shit out of the bins. Inefficient. I usually board with the first group on American. My only consistent frequent flier perk. (the upgrades are less consistent, unfortunately)

Since I know I'll be having a kid one of these days, and the discussion of preggo fetishes here as caused an interest in the subject, I decided to view a few sites which offered shots of nude pregnant women. I can now see why some folks would be into that sort of thing. There are some interesting changes. I have one question... If you don't breastfeed, do those huge breasts stay that way? Because those look kind of cool...

I am not ready for a Little Lord Holden Dangerfield. Please. Don't do this to me.

Have you lost all ability to detect sarcasm, or do you have reason to believe I'm delusional?

And shut the fuck up about it already, for god's sake. I'm in it now.
