you know her baby is ready? by speaking to her on an anonymous forum? you know that her baby, an individual who has never existed before now, is ready to be born? no, the fact is you don't know that, at all. Babies are ready anytime between 37 and 42 weeks--you have no clue whether this baby is ready. [ Reply | More

having one exam in the last few weeks, and one EVERY week, are very different. I would feel extremely uncomfortable with a weekly vaginal exam. There is simply no reason for it, so I think you're very smart to say nay. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I saw this fabulous dance program in East River Park (East River below Houston street). They had three dance performances in different sites. One of them involved a duet between a man and a small excavator (it was actually balletic!). They're performing in the East River Park and some other sites in the next few nights. You can check out the Joyce Theater website or City Parks Foundation. This is really good for kids, as well. 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Seriously curious: I always thought spam was trying to sell something to benefit yourself. I don't work for either organization - just saw a great free cultural event and thought I'd share. If I found a great new playground and told people about it here, would that be spam? Or, if I recommended a great movie or book, would that be spam? [ Reply | More
