DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

Octoplet Mom - Rant

I'm so tired of hearing about this woman who had another 8 children after already having 6. But here... I'm gonna add my 2-cents worth.
  1. What on earth was going through the mind of the embryiologist when she said - "just implant all of them! I love babies!"
  2. Where did she get the money for the latest procedure? Already on food stamps and SSI for three of her 6 children, that's not something that Kaiser should have okayed. I mean.. they won't even pay for my fertility treatments, and I am married with a child!
  3. She plans to still live with her parents, who completely disagree with what she did!?! Why is she subjecting these grandparents to raising 14 young children? They already did their time! Grow up!
  4. I've heard that the diaper and baby food companies that usually donate lots of stuff to families of multiples aren't stepping up this time. I've also heard it's because they aren't sure she will use the supplies or money wisely. But she does need them. But why didn't she start saving when she found out that the 6 embryos took, and that two of them split into twins? But she does need them. But...
  5. I've also heard that she's negotiating movie and book rights. These poor kids - did she have them just to make money and become famous?
  6. And what's this about how she might have had plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie?! Isn't that yet another indication that she's mentally unstable? Especially if she wants to emulate such a person!
  7. I've also heard that the people of nearly-bankrupt California are asking Gov Schwartz to require Social Services to look into this. No one woman can take care of 14 children of those ages by herself. Instead of subsidying this baby-manufacturing-woman, it's highly possible the children will be split into many foster or adoptive homes. QUESTION: if that happens, how can we stop her from having more children?

Someone needs to tie her tubes!
