We keep the fish down to a minimum because I worry about heavy metals. I have no moral problems with meat, but with all the new research into prions and fat etc etc, I figure why not try to start the kids off right. I don't make them stand out at their friends houses- I let them do what their friends do, but at home we try to eat reasonably well. Kids eat here all the time and they don't even realize they are eating tofu.

Well, August, I knew X before she was X, when she had an SI name that was obviously female. So don't feel bad. It would be hard to tell if I were new here, until she started talking about being pregnant, or breast feeding or something. X thinks like a man when she is being logical and analytical. Oh dear, that sounded sexist, but it was a compliment. Anyway, now you can understand better how disorienting it is when you have wrongly guessed about a poster.

Could I pass for a man if I changed my name to something less feminine? I guess I would have to stop using so many exclamation marks!!!!!
