But I remember a time when I didn't think it was weird because "that's just the way it is"

2019-07-04 06:38:42 UTC  

Which is why I really try not to get mad about it.

2019-07-04 06:38:49 UTC  

Sometimes I fail. But I try.

2019-07-04 06:39:45 UTC  

I just think back to the births of my son and daughter and I can't even imagine thinking "you know what this perfect scene of peaceful postpartum mother-infant bonding needs? A LITTLE GENITAL CUTTING AMIRITE?"

2019-07-04 06:41:24 UTC  

I believe this is the one I meant

2019-07-04 06:42:24 UTC  

Yeah that is just reminding me that I was also not breastfed...

2019-07-04 06:42:28 UTC  

Sigh

2019-07-04 06:43:03 UTC  

My mom thought her milk supply wasn't adequate or something. So I got put on formula and rice cereal at 10 days.

2019-07-04 06:43:37 UTC  

I wonder if I would have been taller

2019-07-04 06:43:47 UTC  

Probably would have better teeth too

2019-07-04 06:43:54 UTC  

Oh well.

2019-07-04 06:44:13 UTC  

"Yeah, well I'm taller" - Neo

2019-07-04 06:44:26 UTC  

wait, that was from Speed?

2019-07-04 06:44:37 UTC  

If I was breastfed maybe I'd get the movie right

2019-07-04 06:44:40 UTC  

I don't remember it from the Matrix lol

2019-07-04 06:44:48 UTC  

It was Speed, I was kidding

2019-07-04 06:45:14 UTC  

Haha ok. I haven't seen Speed since the 90s

2019-07-04 06:45:38 UTC  

The Matrix though... I was all about that movie in like 2002-2004

2019-07-04 06:45:41 UTC  

But jokes aside, there are a lot of factors I fear we ignore

2019-07-04 06:45:54 UTC  

All we can do is better for our children the best we can

2019-07-04 06:46:33 UTC  

My kids are happy and healthy as little horses so far (fingers crossed) so hopefully I'm doing OK

2019-07-04 06:47:39 UTC  

My mother was pretty anti-vaccine when I was growing up.

2019-07-04 06:48:01 UTC  

In fact, she was Miss Anti-Vaccine 1992

2019-07-04 06:48:31 UTC  

She couldn't attend the awards ceremony cause my brother and I both got the measles

2019-07-04 06:48:33 UTC  

I joke

2019-07-04 06:48:37 UTC  

Haha

2019-07-04 06:48:56 UTC  

That would be funny as hell as long as you both came through it OK though

2019-07-04 06:49:10 UTC  

Mine are getting their shots

2019-07-04 06:49:24 UTC  

Skip the snip, keep the vax

2019-07-04 06:49:53 UTC  

If I had triplets I would name them Measle, Mump and Rubella

2019-07-04 06:50:23 UTC  

But jokes aside, what do you think about the whole vaccine thing?

2019-07-04 06:50:51 UTC  

I think the only reason people think they're bad is because they haven't had to live with the alternative

2019-07-04 06:51:04 UTC  

I'd have to agree

2019-07-04 06:51:18 UTC  

I mean, I do, not have to

2019-07-04 06:51:33 UTC  

I'm sure there are improvements possible, maybe some of the additives are harmful, etc.

2019-07-04 06:51:54 UTC  

But overall it seems like they save *far* more lives than they do harm

2019-07-04 06:52:03 UTC  

One additive, the one commonly stated is no longer in them, no?

2019-07-04 06:52:09 UTC  

Yeah thimerosal

2019-07-04 06:52:10 UTC  

Thymerisol?

2019-07-04 06:52:13 UTC
