You could always change your avatar. It's pretty easy.

You were touching people that Shape Shifter was sleeping with? The prude in me is appalled.
Was it the 3 of you then?

At eighteen fucking months, YOU are the solid food.

That wasn't a kid. That was leagle.

He lived at home and slept with his momma. There was NO way to get untouched in her bed.

Edited to say that it was just about time someone made a TM's momma joke.

If I wake up on my back (soldier), which I do occasionally but not lately, I'm nearly always in the middle of a nightmare. But not usually with a war theme or anything.

I seem to dream when I sleep on my back too. But good dreams. And I think I do a bent leg starfish kind of thing, not really a soldier.

And I agree with TM about not touching while sleeping. When I moved in with my boyfriend in the dark ages we shared a twin bed. (a twin bed - was I insane?) Now I cannot even sleep in a queen size comfortably - it must be king.

Yes but there was all that bitching about past avatars and references to gayness and anttwats etc.

HERESEY! Nursing is appropriate from cradle to grave.

I had forgotten about this. It seems impossible to me now that in college I pretty routinely slept two people to an extra long twin bed. On an upper bunk bed. I know I was thinner then, but not that much thinner. It's incredible the things your hormones will allow you to put up with.

Me too! If my husband and I, when traveling, can only get a hotel room with 2 doubles, we rearrange the furniture and push them together to make a giant super-bed.

In college, I used to always go to their place so that I could sneak out in the middle of the night once they'd fallen asleep, and retreat to the expanse of my solo bed.

[Economist article - need a subscription. In short, the Johns Hopkins team that reported that Ecstacy kills brain cells involved in dopamine uptake have retracted their study. Turns out the results were not reproduceable, and when they went to check why, they discovered that they had mistakenly been giving the "ecstacy" monkeys in their study methamphetamines instead. No word if they have therefore concluded that crystal meth may be bad for you.]

Yeah, but the great thing about college was that after a sleepless night you could go back to bed at 8am, catch up completely on your sleep, and really not have any worries that you missed anything.

FYI, I know you're not serious but the topic came up at a recent soccer game, when one mom whipped both of her hangers out to give her 5 year old twins a milk break.

Making a kid suck your tits at 5 is incest and child molestation.

She did have nice nipples, though.

Yep. The SO and I have a California King, which (were it the goal) would allow two folks to pretty much spin like a pinwheel without touching.

And, where it's not the goal, it permits a pretty large playing field.

There was a woman on Oprah once who nursed her kids past age 8.

That's gotta do some damage, if only from other kids beating you up on the playground for being a freak.
