One of my ears is unhappy because it got stung by an angry-ass wasp from Traci's shed. Can you guess which one?

For Traci and johnna

Traci, Johnna, and I had a friendly discussion about adoptive mothers nursing tonight, after my new boss made a remark making me think she was going to do it. So it turns out that women can, even if they have never had a pregnancy before.
From the "encyclopedia of adoption":

A small number of adoptive mothers choose to nurse their infants, and it is possible to induce lactation in a woman who has never borne children or never been pregnant. Even if an adoptive mother produces a tiny amount of milk or no milk at all, the tactile closeness to her infant is a very positive experience for many mothers.

The baby's sucking at the breast will further stimulate the production of milk. In some cases, the adoptive mother may have breast-fed biological or adopted children previously. She will need to "relactate" for her new baby.

If the adopting mother knows weeks or months ahead of time that the baby will be arriving, she may opt to use a breast pump to begin stimulating the breasts to induce a milk supply.

Geeks Who Drink

Jay, Tori and I represented at 'Geeks Who Drink' trivia night last Wednesday. I won a free porno entitled 'Chicks Who Pound Sand' (see photo) and several 'What Would Jesus Do' buttons. It's a pretty fun night and the Trailhead has good wings and $2 beers so we should plan another trip soon with a larger contingent.
