Just about every time that I can remember seeing a study saying that doing something during pregnancy will lower the baby's birth rate, the point of all the press around the study was that low birth weight is associated with all sorts of complications, and therefore pregnant women shouldn't do whatever the study was looking at.

Until this one. [link] In a really small study, the babies of mothers who exercised during pregnancy had an average birth weight a few ounces lower than the babies of mothers who didn't. And the conclusion is that women should exercise during pregnancy in order to lower their babies' birth weight, because babies who are heavier at birth are more likely to become obese. Seriously? The "fight childhood obesity" thing is now extending to fetuses?

P-C, show up with a chicken burrito and the As game on the radio and Hec WILL burst into tears! Doooo eeeet!

JZ, no humiliation; everyone needs help sometimes.

P-C, *take pictures* of the bursting into tears!

Hil, yes, the childhood obesity in the womb thing has been around a few years, now.

P-C, Hec would probably burst into tears if you showed up with a chicken burrito.

Awesome. Will do. I will probably hit Cactus. What's his preference? I really like the mole verde they got going there, but if he's not into sauces, I can just get a regular one.

I have no idea how to do the second part! What station?

Ha ha ha ha. I don't want to embarrass his manliness.

Everybody needs help sometimes is a true fact. I'm glad P-C is there to help you all out tonight.

Oh my God that place looks fantastic. Probably the mole rojo or plain unfancy chicken?

ION, when I called Credo to cancel my cell phone and move the number to a pay-as-you-go service, they checked how long I'd been a member (I signed up in '92, right after the pro-choice march on Washington, and was one of the first 50,000 members) and waived the entire May bill.

Now off to do battle with Comcast and cancel the car insurance.

I'll go with the mole rojo for the tastiness. My favorite is the chile verde, actually, but I'm pretty sure I've tried all three and liked them.

Aw, that's nice of them! And, damn, that is a long time to stay with a cell phone provider. I thought being with T-Mobile for almost seven years was long.

Ergh. Good luck with that. Oh, get javachik to do it for you. She has wiles.

The A's who are playing the Mariners! My first Mariners game on teevee!

P-C, truly, you are being a dude of the dudest kind tonight.

They didn't even do cell phones when I signed up! Just long distance. There were a couple of places that sold big clunky phones for your car that you kept in a big suitcase, but those were mostly for doctors or lawyers or people who wanted other people to think they were doctors or lawyers.

I'm just glad I can do something. I was going to offer to pick him up from Bakersfield but then I looked it up on Google Maps and discovered it was not, like, an hour away. I know what it's like to just have random shit coming at you from all directions. That was my February!

Oooh, what's his bean preference? Black?
