Haven't books targeted more to little girls already have some feminism in them? I would have to read the books to see if I think it's a good idea or not
- Shevonne
True feminism is just egalitarianism. Our society is chock full of sexism. Girls/women have no problem identifying with male protagonists but for some reason men are supposed to be emasculated by identifying with female protagonists. Thus most movies with male leads are considered mass appeal and those with female leads are considered "chick flicks". I don't think there's any problem with making sure there are books out there with female characters that do something more than waiting around to be rescued.
- Spidra Webster
I don't know how in principle they could be a bad idea - kids who can read, or who are old enough to enjoy being read to, have already been exposed to overwhelming amounts of sexist ideology, so how could an alternative perspective be harmful? Look at the covers of the books, even - why are Pippi and Adventure Annie wearing a dress and a skirt? What kind of adventures can you get into in a skirt, really? :-)
- Amy℠
Ideally, we should get to a point in society where there is a balance of stories that's representative of the diversity of the human race. But we've had years and years of imbalance. There will be years and years of specialist studies and a type of "affirmative action" to make up for lost time. One day, maybe, we'll get to the balance we should have.
- Spidra Webster
feminism is bad for adults. gender engineering is wrong. what is worse is how our Stimulus money is being spent on jobs for women in hurt male industries that women don't do well in when industries that women do well in are growing. Pink color jobs are growing because our country has become docile service oriented industry cows. higher education is now almost 60% women. it isn't just...

I think Pippi had a very positive impact on me as a kid. She's strong-willed and outspoken in a positive way, and she's physically strong and brave. I don't think the Pippi books were crafted to be intentionally feminist, and maybe that's part of the reason they are so positive in their impact.

On Reality Show to Lose Weight, Health Can Be Lost in Frenzy - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Eric @ CSTechcast.com, Anne Bouey, Amy℠ and 2 other people liked this
"The series also highlights the difference between the pursuit of engaging television and the sometimes frenzied efforts of contestants to win, perhaps at the risk of their own health. Doctors, nutritionists and physiologists not affiliated with “The Biggest Loser” express doubt about the program’s regimen of severe caloric restriction and up to six hours a day of strenuous exercise, which cause contestants to sometimes lose more than 15 pounds a week. At least one other contestant has confessed to using dangerous weight-loss techniques, including self-induced dehydration. On the first episode of the current season, two contestants were sent to the hospital, one by airlift after collapsing from heat stroke during a one-mile race. New contestants are entering the show more out of shape. Each of the last two seasons has broken the record for the heaviest contestant ever, at 454 and 476 pounds."

I've always wondered about this - how it could possibly be healthy to lose this much weight so quickly.

Laura, do they use biofeedback at all in treating interstitial cystitis? I'm curious because I was having urinary frequency, which turns out to be an abnormally small bladder, but I thought the biofeedback training I went through was very helpful in managing the urges and pain. Please forgive me if this is totally off base.

It's not off base at all - as I recall, yes, they do use biofeedback in my specialist's office.

Welcome to the group, Laura. I'm glad you're here for support... and I'm sorry that you need to be. In my own journey over the last couple years, I'm noticing that I seem to go through the stages of grief (including anger) in cycles. What makes you the angriest?
- Ladybug Heather
I don't know that I've accepted it? I'm angry about food. The best way to treat interstitial cystitis is to follow an incredibly restricted diet - and even though I've had the diagnosis for this long, I haven't been able to do it. It's like my inner five year old is stomping her foot and saying, I don't CARE if it's bad for me, I'm going to eat it anyway. Food has always been a comfort for me, and I feel like the IC is taking that away from me and leaving me without one of my oldest coping mechanisms.
- Laura H.
Thanks for asking that, Heather.
- Laura H.
I can understand that one. I wonder... is it possible to plan some "naughtiness" into your diet? If you're still able to have some of those things you love, if in smaller portions, you may find that a help. I dunno.
- Ladybug Heather
I know that what's angered me the most with my dx (a connective tissue disorder that results in chronic pain) is watching the boundaries of my life close in on me. Well, that and just being in continual, never-ending pain! Many times I've said I'd give just about anything for one day with no pain.

I tend to agree, Josh. I like Beck personally but he's kind of extreme. Plus Newt has more experience than Sarah.

I don't think any of them are responsible enough to hold public office, so I'd abstain.

- Jared B. Luther
I could never ever vote for Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin. Beck doesn't even seem rational; Palin is a complete dumbbell who got politically lucky. I hate to say that Newt is looking like the moderate of the three - and I was a founding member of a street theater group called No Newts in 1995, so that's saying something. Eek.

Ashes to Diamonds: Would You Wear Your Dead Pet As Jewelry? | Ecouterre - http://www.ecouterre.com/6418...
Ken & Kiyomi, rowlikeagirl, Mo Kargas and 3 other people liked this
"You can memorialize a dearly departed pet in several different ways, but few allow you to keep Mr. Fluffypants as close to your heart as these wearable gems, which are created using the carbon captured from his remains. Not one but several companies are offering grieving pet owners the opportunity to immortalize their animal companions as jewelry. Despite the morbid undertones, it’s a trend that’s rapidly gaining popularity in Japan. But here’s the rub: The portable memorials might be better for the planet, too. DNA2Diamonds is just one of the outlets touting its conflict-free, environmentally responsible personal diamonds. The carbon extracted from a lock of hair or cremated ashes is subjected to the same process of extreme heat and pressure that squeezes carbon into naturally occurring diamonds. And because the rocks are made in a lab, instead of mined, they don’t carry the same baggage as “blood diamonds” do. Eternal rest set in stone does not come cheap, however—expect to pay upwards of $3,000 for the gem alone."

Of course, human ashes can also be made into diamonds.
- Kurt Starnes
Kurt, if you go to the websites they talk about the human part too. This article was just about the animals. They will also make a lock of hair into a colored diamond that you can give for an anniversary or whatever occasion. It will cost you a minimum of about $1500 depending on the size stone you want.

"Ashley Price felt terrible. She was tired, dizzy spells came and went, dark splotches popped up on her chest for no reason, and she'd gained 50 pounds in two years. Some days she was starving; other days she could barely eat. Her doc suggested that her problems would go away if Price just ate less and exercised more, even though she was dieting and working out regularly. Price demanded thyroid tests, only to have them come back normal. Women may feel like their symptoms aren't taken seriously and that they're told to stop worrying. Her doctor told her: "I have no idea what it is. Wait for it to go away." It didn't go away. "I could no longer think straight, no matter how hard I tried or what I did," Price says. Worse, she suffered three straight miscarriages. Finally, four years after this nightmare began -- after the third miscarriage -- an ultrasound revealed that her ovaries were riddled with cysts. She had polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder; symptoms include irregular...

i also saw this. i think if the doctors aren't taking their patients' concerns seriously, that's an issue that should be addressed in medical school or CMEs. patients being informed about potential diseases is good, but they shouldn't have to make their own diagnoses because the doctors don't believe them.
- Jessie
I suggested a friend ask abut this disorder because I had read about the symptoms in a women's magazine. It might have taken the doctor a very long time to come up with this diagnosis, if ever. Yet if we tell the doctor "I read about this" we're dismissed as hypochondriacs.

I know several people with PCOS - do doctors somehow not know?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If I had a bottle of champagne for every time a doctor has told me to lose weight and exercise more we'd be having a big party. And do they ever act even the slightest bit contrite when something "real" turns up? I think not.
- Amy℠
I think PCOS is usually diagnosed by gyn because women come in complaining about the lack of period, and they don't even consider the other symptoms related. I know a few people who just consider not getting a period or getting a few a year to be "normal" - or if the woman has been on birth control a long time and is coming off, maybe? (I don't know if b/c helps control PCOS) - I think a lot of doctors don't want to mess with the pelvic region at all especially if it sounds like your symptoms are unrelated.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Along the same lines, I feel guilty whenever I complain about a health issue or go to a doctor for a complaint. I feel like people (especially the doctor) think that I'm faking, even though I know darn well that I'm not. I guess I've had a crummy history with doctors plus I hate feeling like a pest.

same, rochelle, when I made an appt with the doctor yesterday I was like, oh so sorry to bother might I please have a moment of the good doctors time kind sirs!!! I feel like a pest, then I feel like an idiot for not being more proactive.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
We all need to stop feeling like we are "whining." Let's make a pact. I just got an object lesson in this on Friday (see comment to Joey on my thread) - docs had been saying pain is FMS; new doc actually X-rayed & found bone spur. This is a feminist issue - whether or not docs are male/female - it is us cowing down to patriarchy. ARISE!

PCOS is very common. Shop around with doctors until they get it right. Sad.
- Louis Gray
I love my (GP) doctor. I call him "Dr Doogie" because he's the same age as my kid. He takes me seriously. I can email him. He does my GYN but he'd be cool with it if I asked to see a female instead. He's one of the New Breed who believe in collaborating with patients in making health care decisions. And it's great that he's at a Johns Hopkins campus; I can get my lab work done right there. When I found a lump in my breast I was examined that day and had surgery 8 weeks later.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I also have PCOS. I probably had it since high school, but it was only diagnosed about 5 years ago. I'm actually glad for the experience, because it made it that much easier for me to be diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. (In that I knew something was wrong and pursued it.) Oh, and like many others - I only started investigating it when a friend from grad school suggested it sounded like PCOS (she had a friend with it).
- Laura H.
To finally get my diagnosis, I really had to push. I now bring a one-page doc to each appointment, with my current meds/dosages, med allergies, recent diagnostics/procedures, symptoms, and questions/concerns. The doctor doesn't always read the whole thing, but they do put them in my chart. My pain mgmt doc often reads it completely when she reviews my chart before my next visit. And my PCP *loves* them.

Hi Sarah, welcome to FFundercats, the podcast by Friendfeeders, for Friendfeeders and with Friendfeeders

Awesome! Who's talking right now?

Louis Gray, Sarah June.

Thanks Laura.

Hi Louis! You sound like I imagined. Very nice guy.

Great point - here are all these services trying to imitate the very features that they used to complain about - and that they said were the reasons FF couldn't survive alone - the reasons FB had to come along and buy us.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Sarah Lane used to do that, but now she's on FB and she seems to connect more with people.
- Mol, Santa Claws
Exactly, Johnny.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
I like FB and will defend it
- Mol, Santa Claws
I think where you will connect will depend on where most of the people you want to connect with are. That's why I spend time on FB. Because a great deal of my friends and personal acquaintances are there. But I also really like FF. But FF is a different type of service.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
Nothing wrong with FB. It's a great place to connect with our real friends/family.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Who brought the aussies?
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
Exactly Mary! And I think that the people I connect with there wouldn't enjoy FF because it would be overwhelming.
- Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
But what a surprise last week when I was using FF to say things my family couldn't hear, when my mother was dying, and then the boyz started piping my FF onto FB! I had to do some fast resetting before thw wrong things got in front of the wrong eyes!

Is it a question of hosting space - just storage?

So bandwidth usage.. 15gb per month?
- CW™
but they say it's unlimited. It's in the contract.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Bluehost is unlimited
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I use slicehost - bandwidth is pretty acceptable there
- Jesse Stay
That's how Comcast nailed Dave Winer.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Cause if its 15gb at .17 cents per GB Amazon S3 is the way to go
- CW™
tons of companies use it. Easy to do if you want help
- CW™
slicehost is not free - you could move it all over there though
- Jesse Stay
So here is the pricing for Amazon S3.. http://aws.amazon.com/s3...
- CW™
If we put it on Kathy's site it's as good as free. She's paying $3 a month.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
If you want.. here is the calculator for Amazon services. http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5...

Slicehost is just $20/mo for 100GB transfer, 10GB storage

Here's hoping that's all it is. Also, Whole Foods makes gummy vitamins that are D and calcium. They taste like candy.
- joey
Could it be seasonal? Stress from the wedding?
- CW™
The doctor can prescribe much higher doses of D than you can get at the store...plus I have a family history of kidney issues and that's where D is metabolized. And yeah, it could be seasonal too. We'll see how the test ends up. I'm also seeing a naturopath next week.
- Alex Scoble

Vit D is pretty cheap stuff so I just take it according to the guidelines at the heart scan blog recommendations at http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/2009.... Might want to just give it a go.

Talk to your dermatologist about Narrow Band UV Light treatments, due to Crohns relaed mal absorption I'm always vit mineral electrolyte deficent but the lights have helped with metabolism of the available nutrients
- WarLord
I'd also suggest backing off white flour and sugar. I have horrible problems with fatigue (and allergies) and cutting the flour and sugar from my diet seems to alleviate that quite a bit.
- vicster
Did I miss where you heard back?
- Alix Whitmire
No, I never did, which means his test showed my Vitamin D as being within normal range. Waiting for my 2nd visit to the naturopathic doctor to see how the labs she gave me turned out.
- Alex Scoble
Gah. I was hoping for you that it was "just" that, since that has such an easy remedy. :/
- Alix Whitmire
Yeah, I started taking 1000 IU Vitamin D pills from Trader Joe's anyhow.
- Alex Scoble
I have heard of a number of people having this lately. One person I know felt tremendously better after taking supplements. Interesting.
- Amy℠
Latest update: Went to my doctor's office to get copies of my latest test results...Come to find out that my Vitamin D levels are indeed low and that he's prescribing Vitamin D (one 50,000 IU pill per week for 6 weeks! 50,000 IU!)...Kind of annoyed that he sat on the results for two weeks, but oh well.
- Alex Scoble
thats why you have to keep calling them...........and spend some time in the sun that will help
- VAL D. Zone
Something like 75% of people in the PNW have low Vitamin D so I'm totally not surprised! Glad you got a prescription to fix it up.
- Rochelle
Yeah, Val, but my doctor's office is usually pretty good about getting results back to me. I figured that if they hadn't gotten back to me in a timely manner that my tests were normal...Now I know not to be so trusting next time. :) Yeah, Rochelle, my levels are seriously low. Minimum normal level is 30 whatevers on the test and I'm at like 18.
- Alex Scoble
Everything else OK, though? Kidneys, thyroid, blood counts, etc.? Hope you feel better soon!
- Victor Ganata
Victor, kidney issues run in the family, which is probably a factor in my low Vitamin D numbers, but my kidneys are still functioning at what most health care professionals would consider "normal" levels

Wish I could afford a treatment to zap this Tinea versicolor once and for all. I can't reach my back to rub cream in and I have no S. O. to do it for me. It's not a major health problem, but I look at my back after a bath and see all these "freckles" that aren't freckles and it bugs me.

I had to look that up. I've known people with it but never knew it was anything other "a skin condition" :| I can relate in that I've had chronic athlete's foot for about 12 yrs without seeming to be able to get rid of it. Irksome, but not that big a deal in the grand scheme. Yet, the pleasure of being rid of it is a wonderful dream.
- Michael W. May
I know that's no fun. Have you tried one of those things meant for putting lotion on your back - it's like a body scrubber brush, but it seems to have a reservoir where you can put lotion. The cream is probably too thick to put in, but maybe you could rub it on the outside. (I'm not describing well but ask if not clear.)

so, imagine you're about to take a 12 hour flight to Tokyo followed by another 8 hour flight to a further destination with barely a 2 hour layover. you will not be able to nap on the flights. what would you do to cope?

i considered stepping in front of a lorry a few times in Malaysia back in 2006, but that was unrelated to the flights. the 12 hour trip to Tokyo is on a 777, which is a bit like a huge Greyhound bus back in economy class. like last time, i plan on getting up for a stroll to the tail every 2 hours to hopefully prevent deep vein thrombosis. and, yes, they NEVER give you enough water on the long-hauls. paper cup in the washroom, glugglugglug! :P
- Joe Silence is not dead
i suppose i'd hoped someone on here with long-haul flight experience might have something i'd missed for coping.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Will you be the sole caretaker of the children? If not, could you power nap on the layover? When I get sleepy and I'm reading, I'll tend to be lulled to sleep. I'd instead do something with movies or a computer game or something because that keeps my mind engaged in a different way and makes it harder to nod off.
- joey
i'd cry the whole way there. ;-) naps are the way I cope with most long distance flights.
- pea
my wife and i will be doing the tag-team parenting thing we always do, tho more and more we're working in concert all the time. little kids are very high-maintenance. the layover at Narita will be just enough time to get the bus from one terminal to the other, maybe snag a quick bite and use the head and then board the connecting flight after the security ppl inspect our colons.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Yow. The kids complicate it for sure. I have never taken that long a trip, so this is based on less Xtreme travel. Bring plenty of things to read to and with them. Bring a sketchbook/notebook to draw and play paper games with them. Bring music for everyone and multiple MP3 players with batteries. Is there some project that takes a lot of imagination, but not much else that you can work on? Something you want to write, for example?

i do all my crying afterward, it's the only way i can stay vigilant during a (for me) crisis.
- Joe Silence is not dead
it wouldn't be nearly so bad if i wasn't utterly terrified of flying. in addition to everything else, this will be hours of barely-suppressed panic attacks for me.
- Joe Silence is not dead
crap, i'm sounding pretty whiny now. :P
- Joe Silence is not dead
Joe, can you get some medication from your doctor pre-flight to help with the panic attacks?
- joey
Joe, that is going to be punishing on all of you. I've only travelled from Canada to England on an 8 hr then 1 hr flight with 4 kids (and a hubby) and that was okay. First time the youngest was only 1.5 yrs old and she slept most of the time and then just played on our knees. Packing things to play with and occupy them will be very good. If you have a phone with flight mode and the...

i would bring my iPod, but i'm not taking a computer with me so i won't have a way to charge it for 3 weeks. back in the 90s when i was flying back and forth to NZ i used to bring a walkman and loads of cassettes with me, tho. maybe a portable CD player with earbuds? still, i need to be able to hear my kids. books are looking really practical to me. this is working out pretty much like last time. hopefully the details will be more pleasant.
- Joe Silence is not dead
@joey: i could, but i don't want to be incapacitated...one of my fears on a flight, especially with the kids. i'll phone about it, tho.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Take stuff like baby wipes, diapers, sweets, treats and help to break up the flight with treat-breaks and reading breaks. So you tell your older kid that every hour (or whatever) you will read a story together. It gives you both a focus and helps you to manage the time. In between the reading breaks slot in a walk to the end of the plane and back. In between the walking breaks you could play a little game of I spy or something similar...dividing your time up into managable chunks.
- WorldofHiglet
And good luck. The kids will sleep if you are calm, and if they are asleep then you can relax a bit. Hopefully things will work out ok and you will make it to the other side in one piece.
- WorldofHiglet
@Higlet: very good advice on the childcare side there. that's more or less how we did it last time, tho it's even more important now that we have two. we're also bringing a car seat for the youngest (which will attach to one of the rolling carry-ons between planes) and an umbrella stroller for hauling our 4 year old for the 2.5km of walking through Changi at 5am when the trains are shut down! we need to organise our bags for the kids better this time, that's for certain, cos right now we're over-packing.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Oh, I like Higlet's plan for breaking up the time so it's not One Long Flight From Hell.
- s t e v e
funny thing, the 8 hour flight between Tokyo and Singapore is nowhere near as stressful as the 12 hour leg coming from the US. partly cos JAL's planes and service are SO much better than American Airlines. startlingly so. AA is surly staff that ignore everyone and the planes are stuffy and dark and smell rank. JAL staff are pleasant and attentive and the planes are clean and well-lit and well-maintained.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Being ruthless with your packing is essential - and hard! First time we gave them a backpack each and let them pack stuff but they hardly used any of it and it was a pain handling them all time. WE found it easier to have 2 bags for flight stuff - I handled one and hubby had the other one so we could take things in and out easily from underseat luggage rather than having to stand up and...

I used to be very, very afraid of flying so I really identify with you. I got tied into this job that required flying 2x a week, and during that time I did some mental exercises that helped, I think, along with the sheer boredom of it. I've done a few long hauls too- to Asia, to Europe, all around Europe, back, etc.
- anna sauce
So if I were you I'd buy a book of meditation exercises. Breathing exercises are by far my best method of getting out of panic attacks, adn preventing them from happening. Breathing exercises you can also do while taking care of kids. I do a 3-exhale, 3-hold, 6-inhale (those are beats) exercise, slowly ramping up to 4-3-8, 5-3-10, etc. patterns. There are some other relaxation techniques that help with fear of flying
- anna sauce
As for the duration, I end up hanging out in the flight attendant area. I get coffee, chat with them, make a new friend back there, have a long conversation. Standing, for me, helps the anxiety because I get a lot of muscle tension from being tense, and stretching, etc. helps with that. I know with kids it's harder. We were stuck in a storm on the way to Russia last year, and had...

my CPAP will be hand-carried (medical equipment doesn't count toward carry-on) and we'll have at least two carry on bags, maybe three. one will be a diaper bag. one will be this really neat backpack designed for exactly this type of travelling that includes special straps for attaching to the back of an umbrella stroller (which will be stowed by cabin crew) and one will probly be a duffle.
- Joe Silence is not dead
I also bring busywork, like translating foriegn languages or learning new words- bilingual books, etc. that kind of homework really helps me. movies help, but it's hard to get enough on a device to make it worth while. I end up watching airplane movies.
- anna sauce
OK one last thing- when turbulence starts, which is a panic trigger for me, I do this acting exercise called "sack of potatoes." You literally envision your body, skin, etc. as a sack and your bones, as potatoes. It helps loosen you up, and if you really let go all control and just envision yourself as this bag, it helps ally my fears. It's weird, but it works for me ;)
- anna sauce
Booze does help- but you have to be careful b/c of the dehydration aspect. I also hate getting congested in flight, and alcohol, esp. beer, gets me that way.
- anna sauce
oooh, yah, turbulence...no fun. walking is great for many reasons, including stress relief. i probly won't touch booze til we depart Japan, but if the kids are okay i may just give myself permission to get mildly loaded. i don't normally drink anymore (and won't if i do end up taking Clonazepam cos they do NOT mix) but it would help a bit. more likely i will read and/or listen to music in between trips up and down the aisle.
- Joe Silence is not dead
it's also likely that my oldest, who i'll be sitting next to, will keep me plenty busy!
- Joe Silence is not dead
Oh, I gave this tip to my sis who never flies and is equally afraid- don't do anythign during takeoff. I tend to think a lot of my anxiety is from motion sickness, so if youf ocus on the direction of the plane, until it's in the air, then distract yourself with activities. Stay upright, during turbulence, take your back off the seat, that helps, oddly, too. I think your abdominal muscles compensate for the movement and it's not as strong. You can see I used to spend *a lot* of time thinking about this, ha.
- anna sauce
been there done that, all the time 2 weeks ago. Books are best. Geroge R.R. Martin Fire and Ice Series. For the kids, dont worry set them up with movie system and they will be good to go. You will get to sit on the bulk head so you will get the baby bed that fits in the wall. Plus you have extra room. In terms of Booze I prefer the Bloody Mary, the tomato seems to help and yeah drinks...
