My stepdad likes to tell the tale of his brother being an infant during WWII, and unable to take cow's milk. Apparently goat's milk wasn't rationed, but driving all the way to where the goats were (or their milk was sold), on the gasoline rations of an ordinary family, was rather a problem. (I think they lived in DC at the time.)

Not that goats are vegan. They eat tin cans! Who knows what else they would eat.

The confluence of topics in this thread has me wondering how breastfeeding and bottle-feeding work in space.

and although I have a picture of a blousey feminine (long sleeve?) blouse in mind, I can't find it.

ita, what color of blouse? White? Black? Take a look at the Newport News site; they have a bunch of cute blouses right now.

Like this, ita [link] maybe this? [link] or this? [link] or this [link]

ETA: Awesome! I'm sharing Jili's brain today!

I wonder if babies would be as happy in space as they are when swimming....

Ooh - and imagine all the cute little spacesuits you could make them wear!

Oh, nice, Daisy! The first two are along the lines in my imagination--can't have too fussy a bodice, since it's going to be swallowed by the underbust corset.

Jilli, I guess I was thinking white, since black would be too much with the black skirt for daytime (not for me--I'm being considerate here, and it's kinda weird) and I'm not up to colour matching the corset.

Oh! It was you that linked to that Newport News equestrian coat, wasn't it? I ended up buying it. There's no way in hell I'm ever doing up those hooks in front, and I really wish the pockets were real, but otherwise it's a kick.

Oh, their poor deprived musculoskeletal development!

I love this, but it's both pricey and not in my size. I wish the site would let me filter down to just mediums.

One couple learns why their water bill has been so high. (YouTube video link.)

I love her stuff. It has such a delicate quality to it.

I bet it will be a long long time before they allow dogs and cats in space - what with the difficulties involved in training pets to use the zero-g space toilets. Maybe they could develop space litter that would stay together in zero-g? Or maybe a miniature centrifugal artificial gravity room for the doggies and kitties to go to the bathroom in....

I thought a dog already went to space.
