And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's official - everywhere Dylan slept as a baby has now been either banned or recalled. It's a wonder he made it this far alive:

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dang. Matilda's crib is superfancy, high-end and has performed like a champ through two children's successful infancies and toddlerhoods. Do we now have to just trash it instead of passing it along to some other family?
As per usual, DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS.

Hey, got it right!
We have 3 guys working on the bathroom sink right now. Oy. Home ownership is a PITA.

I don't really get how we measure the value of someone's life in this country, because it really seems to be a sliding scale to me. If a drug was associated with 32 deaths I don't think we'd ban it or take it off the market.
On the other hand, I can see how the gruesome death of an infant would be shocking enough to seem to merit some response.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The difference is, the drop sides are NOT a necessity to the structure of a crib. I don't know what the rule is on drug safety, but it would probably depend on how badly the drug is needed and how many people are going to be taking it.
So the risk would be calculated by how many cribs would be sold and used--and then passed on.
Drop sides are convenient, yeah, but are not vital enough to risk a child's life.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Oh, I don't know. This one was kind of fun:
GREAT. First BIG GOVERNMENT is FORCING us to buy health insurance, and now BIG GOVERNMENT is telling us what kind of CRIBS we can put our own children in?
Welcome to the United COMMUNIST States of America, comrade! All Hail our MARXIST COMMUNIST KENYAN King Obama!!!!!!
Also the guy who is apparently seriously suggesting that instead of standards and regulations and shit, the government should just label eggs as more or less likely to carry salmonella, and then consumers could MAKE THEIR CHOICE.

I'm not very good at conceptualizing math, but is the calculation based on the number of units sold? So 32 deaths out of X number of drop side cribs sold/used?
Feh. I can't wrap my brain around how one calculates risk with any accuracy. Which is why your DH and billytea are the actuaries, not me.
