I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Great, now pregnant women will be carrying these things around in their purses, forcing you to look at their baby *before* it is born.

Why would you want to be anywhere near a pregnant woman?  :huh:

Because you can't just lock up women who get pregnant for 9 months so you don't have to deal with them?   :huh:

Our office has 75%+ women, so there's usually some pregnancies going on.
We are born dying, but we are compelled to fancy our chances.

When my wife had to get an ultrasound recently there was a little sign saying that for a small fee they'd print out ultrasound pictures of your unborn baby to annoy your coworkers with.

There's a place here that will do a full-blown video & burn it to a DVD for $150.  While the "4D" thing is cool & all, who the hell would want to watch it after the baby is born?

Naturally, one of my wife's braindead coworkers did it.

Oh, and congrats :cheers:

Sorry, that is my fault. I got excited by the resevoir.  :Embarrass:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
