I have just read all your posts.  Thanks for the advice. I just gave
her cuddles, then diaper change, then worked on another bottle.  Keep
things quiet, lied her down.  Eventually she did quiet down.  
So, let me introduce myself.

families around here who could really use them.

sister (the girl is also 14) just lost her father to a sudden heart attack.

BOY!!
Yeah!!  The Shettles Method DOES work!
He's a big one - weighs 3/4lb already (at 19 weeks) and moving so much.  I
can't believe we'll be half way done on Thursday.  How cool is that???

I got a quick question about insaniquarium.....what's the formula for
getting the fish to take the star potion?  Do they all have to be big fish?
