My wife and I being advocates of natural childbirth, I should add my $0.02 that drug-free childbirth can be relatively pain-free and easier than laboring on your back. But however it works for the mom is best.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Here's wishing Jessica a labor like my friend C's: 3 hours start to finish, no complications, and miraculously little pain given the fact that her baby was a giant!
We had a bit of excitement at the office this morning—neighbor's burglar alarm went off, so my cousin, I, and a friend of the owner's checked the interior out to make sure there were no intruders. My cousin met the deputy at the door, and his Barney Fifeness was not reassuring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, that Craigslist wedding story was just what I needed to fix my rage-filled day!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Very sweet story, Tom. I recommend readers scroll down to the entry about the wedding itself.
I don't know about Canadian practices, but American courts are (at least, used to be) very lenient on who may serve as a legal witness for a wedding. At least with the judge I worked for one summer, it was a fairly routine part of employee duties to witness weddings of complete strangers. I did it a couple times.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The intensity of the signals that go to the brain. What you do with them afterwards is, I guess, up to you. I think it's like having the volume on certain sounds cranked to 11.
I thought technically, it was all about density of tastebuds? As in, supertasters have more of them, so one can in theory test for it by tinting the things.
I'm a normal taster with a good sense of smell. The smell aspect throws me off foods a lot.
