When I first got married, me and the new wife moved to the San Francisco area. (she refused to live in LA, and I had a job transfer if I wanted it)
I don't remember the gaii, having any effect on us. Now when I got sick a couple years ago, we had problems. But that was her anger at me being ill, which she did not like.
(things are much better between us now)

Phil Gramm, the senator-banker who until recently advised John McCain's campaign, did get it right about a "nation of whiners," but he misidentified the faint-hearted. It's not the people or even the politicians. It is Wall Street--the financial titans and big-money bankers, the most important investors and worldwide creditors who are scared witless by events. These folks are in full-flight panic and screaming for mercy from Washington. Their cries were answered by the massive federal bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, the endangered mortgage companies.
When the monied interests whined, they made themselves heard by dumping the stocks of these two quasi-public private corporations, threatening to collapse the two financial firms like the investor "run" that wiped out Bear Stearns in March. The real distress of the banks and brokerages and major investors is that they cannot unload the rotten mortgage securities packaged by Fannie Mae and banks sold worldwide. Wall Street's preferred solution: dump the bad paper on the rest of us, the unwitting American taxpayers.

In selecting Afghanistan as the opening stop of his first overseas trip as the presumptive Democratic nominee, he was seeking to highlight what he says is its importance as the key front in the fight against terrorism.

Adam, true story: last year, my granddaughter had a terrible case of diaper rash. She normally wears Pampers, but her rash was blistering, and I thought, maybe some cloth diapers would help her.
I couldn't even get the damn thing on. I called my mother, and she couldn't remember how to do it. It was bizarre.

Zap, tell her to calm down, get in bed, and call her doc. Spotting in early pregnancy is really not that unusual, but do make the call. She should get off her feet.

Yes, Spraying the leaves with insecticidal soap and water dries the bugs out and washes off with water.
It's best to do it early in the day or in the evening -- but not just before the plant is exposed to hot, direct sun.

I've heard that (most) diaper rash comes from not letting the child to properly dry before putting the new diaper on.

cloth diaper service provides a fine bucket with a bag inside and a little deodorizer in the cover of the bucket, and there is no added odor seeping around the house.

Diaper rash can also be caused by not changing bebe often enough. We changed my girl every two hours during the day and had no problems.
Bebe's are people tho--I imagine some are more susceptible to rashes than others.

speaking of babies/toddlers... i just saw the cutest scene in my neighborhood.. indulgent hipster dad following steps behind his cruising toddler who's on a path for the 6ft pig that stands outside the local butcher shop. 'pig, 'pig' the kid excitedly starts repeating; dad says, what does the pig say, jake; what does the pig say. jake replies: 'mooooooooo'..

I agree with peterboy. We did the diaper service. Much better ecologically. Not a problem in terms of odor.
Admittedly, it was 21 years ago.

A leading cyber-security expert and former adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) says he has fresh evidence regarding election fraud on Diebold electronic voting machines during the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senatorial elections.
Stephen Spoonamore is the founder and until recently the CEO of Cybrinth LLC, an information technology policy and security firm that serves Fortune 100 companies. At a little noticed press conference in Columbus, Ohio Thursday, he discussed his investigation of a computer patch that was applied to Diebold Election Systems voting machines in Georgia right before that state's November 2002 election.

Maryland troopers spied on activist groups
Protesters added to database of terrorist suspects
Undercover Maryland state troopers infiltrated three groups advocating peace and protesting the death penalty — attending meetings and sending reports on their activities to U.S. intelligence and military agencies, according to documents released Thursday.
The Maryland ACLU sued last month, claiming the state police refused to release public documents about the surveillance of peace activists.
Barndog, that's probably true. It's always recommended that one let the kid go around without a diaper for a while, but to me, that's living dangerously.

It's the perfume in the Pampers. Switch brands, maybe to Luvs or a more eco-friendly non-scented version.
Third daughter 3 suffered mightily until we figured that one out.
Barndog is right, too. of course, but Pampers themselves are probably the real culprit.
