dog food was invented in the 1930s
out of leftover junk. Dog have been domesticated for at least 13,000 years.

I don't think there is that much science to dog food, except for the fact that dogs should not eat corn and beets so they have to add some vitamins to it so the dogs don't die of malnutrition.

Epidural or not?
Hey all. I am pregnant with my first child and am not sure if I want an epidural or not. I have heard that they can cause back pain in the future from having them and I am not overly thrilled about the needle in my back anyway. I was wondering is there anyone who has had a child with an epidural and maybe another child without an epidural and how do you compare the two. For those who only had natural childbirth, was it too hard to handle. I'm not too big of a baby, but I am not really fond of pain. TIA

No Epidural
Had epidural with my first child but had to due to consistently high blood pressure and complications with delivery. Unfortunately due to complications, I was hospitalized for 5 days. I did not have an epidural with my second child. Had my son at 8:49 a.m., only needed 2 Tylenol afterwards for pain and was up on my feet by 5 p.m. that evening. Doc said she would D/C me but I played it cautious and stayed overnight. Went Christmas shopping the next day!

great post ks and who invented the Bible?

My opinion is that men interpreted the bible(s) of the world....women had little say, and GOD HAD NO stuff to write with.......men certainly did succeed and put their *slant* on things to control.....yeah, to control........is my belief and my opinion and I'm sure at least dozens others here too...and even more in the grander scale of things, not just those on online bulletin/message boards.

No epidural if you can do without, and you can. JMHO. nm
