Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. ~ George Washington -
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves." --French philosopher Bertrand de Jouvenel--
"Or in our case hyenas." --Warren / Longrange1--
When my daughter was delivered, c-section, they were tying my tubes and I was trying to get my lates attention. Hunh, might as well have been shouting at the moon! He's hovering over this small, unhappy morsel of sorta bald, blonde humanity! I, the wife and Mother was chopped liver, he never heard me! It was a humbling moment for sure. 7lbs. 6 ozs., 19 1/2 inches won over the grumpy, 5'8" man and she never let him off her little finger till he died, she's threatening to pants him when we meet again!
there were twelve or so people besides myself in the delivery room with our premie AND my lieutenant who was there as proxy to nancpop who was lost trying to get there - the music was loud and classical - we were all jovial and LOAO and when they put evan up over the drape to show her to us i said, "she's so ugly." my lieutenant with tears in his eyes said, "she's not ugly, she's beautiful."
oh, she was ugly - there's nothing pretty about babies fresh out of the womb. i don't care what anybody says. she was okay AFTER they cleaned her up!
Nanc- Men never seem to see them as grown up either, until they have to walk them down the aisle! That's why Daddy's cry at their daughter's weddings. Until that moment, they think it's just an expensive dress up game!
