the inventor should get a medal
 

who agrees?

Does he want the medal, or a chest to pin it on?

I agree. The appointment calendar is one of the greatest achievements of modern civilization.

The appointment calendar is the work of Satan.

I'd question how effective it is.
And anyway, why doesn't she stand up, prop the phone under her ear (like a normal person) and rest the diary on the counter. Then she's have both hands free to use a breast pump titty by titty. Which is a more natural way after all (excepting twins).

The two are not mutually exclusive.

After a second thought, I'm wondering where the actual pump is. Those two tubes should be hooked to something IIRC correctly. (It's been some years since I've seen one in action.)

"Express Yourself" by Madonna!!!


Oops! Sorry, i thought we were playing chirades.

I have no idea what you were thinking when you posted it, if you think it's just an amusing pic or what, but if it's a better-designed, workable breast pump, then yes. existing breast pumps are awkward, uncomfortable, and slow.

There's no milk in them thar boobs.....

if you need to save time expressing milk for the nanny to fed to your baby..... I have to wonder why you bothered having it......

Maybe she's paying her way through college as a breast-milk provider.

and where is her baby?

Some moms have to go to work. :eyebrow:

When SWMBO had the inchling we read up on all things dowa (tm) and it turns out that a woman who has never been pregnant can induce lactation by having her nipples sucked. A lot. For a long time. But then it happens.

I guess it is special for some women who aren't able to get pregnant but who want to nurse their adopted baby and have their boobs permanently permanently permanently umm different.

This machine would help. I'd get all distracted and would be more likely to get her pregnant.

It's possible, but by no means a guarantee. It's possible for some men to lactate too, under the right circumstances.

The drugs Reglan and especially Domperidone can increase or even cause lactation - even in males.

the babies hate hairy nipples though.....too hard to maintain suction.

My friend who went transgender male-to-female started lactating when she stopped taking female hormones pre-surgery.

/and i win the thread

So can nettles.

No, you win the thread drift.

I give Reglan every day. Domperidone, not so much.:D I am pretty sure it has not been used for quite a few years some se like cardiac arrest or something.

Domperidone? I thought that was one of those fancy champagnes.

Well if anyone offers you a glass... let's just say, refuse.

It's not approved in the US as far as I know, but is in Cananda. Apparently works better than Reglan.

I'm well aware of that. But if they work so hard they can't find time to express milk.....

*snicker*

Now you have me picturing that woman at her desk in some high-level corporate environment, being pumped while she oversees board meetings and barks orders to her subordinates.

exactly. although that might be an improvement on women being made to go do it in the toilets in their lunch hour....... sorta

We aren't far off from that Clod. Why? Because women should be doing everything for everyone else, all at once, all the time. That photo is but a symptom of the complete insanity. Cultural anthropolgy exhibit A.

We can't just lactate. We have to make the damned dinner, clean the house, pay bills, file things at work, go to appointments, cart the kids, and make lots of money. Creepy.

I think that's a great photo! We are forced to be that motivated. That sucks.
:(
(If you aren't one of the inherently rich that I work with that have 100 dollar lunches every other day and take a little nap afterwards)

My husband turned his nose up the other day because I was trying to take a day off from cleaning the entirety of the house,while I watched my leg swell twice it's size. I lost.

and what happened to your leg?

Well, duh. It got pregnant!
:D
No seriously, apparently I have a severe reaction to a NM
mosquito(s). I've mentioned this before I think, when I thought I was getting eaten by poisonous spiders. One mosquito bite on the foot can have me limping around for a couple of days, and unable to fit into any shoe I own. (the swelling, then the grotesque sore that develops) This time it was 2 bites, one on the foot and one on the leg. Massive swelling, itching like mad, and burning. I lose the use of my foot so well because the swelling makes it less bendy for walking. I am getting used to that, but this time the other bite inflamed my leg and shoots of electric pain would run up and down my leg while walking or standing. So I kind of gimp around until it is over. No known cure for the mosquito saliva allergy......I'm waiting to become immune. It's been a year and a half but I have hope. I like to gross people out at work with it, but if one gets a hold of my face or something, I won't be able to show up for work or go anywhere.

Off topic, drift thread, I apologize! Carry on!

Forced by whom? The SS? The IRS? The IRA? The WLWL?

Forced by WWJD.:D

Maybe you're not eatin' enough chiles, Cicero--those NM mosquitos are confused!

My first wife had two young nieces that were allergic to mosquito bites. They had lived in ND and MA, with the same result. Don't know if they ever outgrew it, but it sure played hell with their childhood.

Hey Cic, what happens if they bite your boob?

I wasn't going there...

Thanks Merc. That about sums it up! lol! Maybe not in the way you are thinking but it works!
:p

You might be surprised, we may have been thinking the same thing.:D

Okay, time to get this thread moving along...

The inventor should get a medal for THIS:

Ooh I really should get one - that's what I bought my Mum!

{:vomit:} Maybe she would share? {/:vomit:}

Oh, the wrascally wrabbit. My wife loves it. Worth the $$.
