We Are Not Exhibitionists. Come Look.

It seems that I was not the only one to take offense to the Globe and Mail’s article and particularly it’s title, “Baby-desperate moms share every detail online.” And that was before readers started to add their two cents and sage advice to “just adopt.”

Watch Where You Perch That Powerbook!

The Economic Times reports today that Laptops May Affect Male Fertility. More specifically, resting your heat-generating laptop on your lap (exactly like I am doing right now) raises the risk of infertility in men.

Poke, Poke, Poke - Watch the IVF Shoot ‘Em Up

Ever wonder what goes on when one of your friends tells you she is on infertility “treatment” or “medication?” Are you and your partner considering getting some help conceiving? Has someone suggested “IVF” as an option to you? What do those code words mean?
Usually, they mean a lot of shots. Some big, some small. Some […]

In Search Of: Natural Remedy for a Bad, Bad Cold

Yes, you have the right blog. No, you haven’t accidentally stumbled upon Veggie Chic or the Daily Tomorrow (although I recommend you do if you aren’t familiar with them).
