I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bradley's definitely a nutty guy (for instance, he thinks "uterus" is too technical a term for mothers-to-be, so he says "baby box")

Good lord, how patronizing. Has any one suggested to him that mothers-to-be and post-lobotomy are two different catagories?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sandra Bullock donated a million. Sharon Osbourne gave more than he did. Ah, well. It's become a media-highlighted pissing contest.

A co-worker just (cheerily) told me he has something to give me that's not appropriate at work. Then he disappeared.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Bradley uses the term "baby box" for uterus?!?

Hey, he was 90% kook. But his birthing method seems to be nothing but good ideas (again, the key is keeping the mother relaxed, keeping the parents informed, encouraging the mother to do exercises that tend to align the baby correctly in the womb, birthing at one's own rate, avoiding drugs that may be harmful to mother and child, bringing the father into the delivery room, and such). His book (the Husband-Coached Childbirth) is poorly written, and the official Bradley method workbooks could use a good copy editor. But I think he's right, despite his eccentricities.

Oh, come on. The lack of corners has to count in its favour.

OK, having just read the whole conversation about what Gay and Straight men have in common, I probably just laughed much harder than I should.

It is a more accurate term. Still gross to me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It's become a media-highlighted pissing contest.

His own Press Secretary gave out the information. It smacks of self-promotion. None of his other charitable contributions have been announced during press conferences.

A co-worker just (cheerily) told me he has something to give me that's not appropriate at work. Then he disappeared.

Better hope it's not a penis or a pimp cup.

Maybe a pimp's penis cup.
