If you'd like, we can all petition Buck to grant you that position. But I'm sure the duties would be onerous and time-consuming. Are you certain you will have the acuity and balance for the task?
[qutoe]I think parasite works fine, even though on bad days I think CE would go to "Abschaum" or worse. I'm at loss why anyone would subject themselves to the agony of childbearing more than once. The first time I can understand, considering the massive amounts of positive disinformation we get shoved down our throats, but that usually wears off from personal experience. Could also be that CE isn't producing enough of the heavy drugs your system is supposed to keep you high on.[/quote]
A fine British comic (whose name I can't remember at the moment) memorably referred to childbirth as trying to squeeze a melon through a keyhole. I suspect there's a lot to be said for that image. And if we accept this, then we might conclude that the preceding 9 months of nausea, endless urination, balance problems, backache, and sudden hormone shifts might be seen as Mother Nature's way of making the pregnant woman just glad the whole thing is about to be over.
How is CE holding up? She does not impress me as the broad-hipped Chinese peasant of legend who pops a kid in the morning and is out working in the fields by noon.
Oh, right, a name, so as to keep from spamming. What about Demeter? Or Tove?
