I've always been fond of the word lobster.  8-)

Is that one of those annoying paper-clip-like help thingies....?

"You appear to be trying to defeat the Word-knows-more-about-formatting-than-you'll-ever-know-so-leave-the-picture-where-it-is feature...would you like some help (blink-blink)"

One of these is what I means, my friend!

Once the whole nappy / pram / can't-quite-communicate-rationally phase is over, perhaps when they're around 5-6, things become very worthwhile. Of course, ours have not yet exceeded ten yet, so we haven't faced the stroppy-hormonal-teenager bit yet either

On a happy note re childbirth......I'm NEVER doing that again! :lol:

I said that 20 years ago and I've kept to it!



I had a camera up the back passage when I had an ulcerated sphincter and then surgery soon after. I can say that the camera was worse than the baby thing...the camera went in and I was laying on my side I jumped and the ceiling got closer ( I swear):shock:  :shock:  :shock: the surgery was bliss!
I would rather have a baby then have to go through  an ulcerated sphincter again
THATS SAYING SOMETHING

Reaching out to grab something on a high shelf can be shockingly, eye-wateringly painful when you've got something like carpal tunnel or tendonitis-type problems.

As is waking up to discover that the disc in your back (that is by now the approximate thickness of a communion wafer) didn't enjoy the heavy lifting/dragging you did the previous day.

Being in your mid-to-late 40s sucks.

bleeds a lot, too.

[Geetar]

Any direct experience of that, or just conjecture on your part? :shock:

I've got a mental image now that is making me giggle.
