Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Um, did you guys watching the Super Bowl elsewhere see an ad for Michael & sons featuring Mike Tyson?

Did not see that. Didn't see the Scientology ad, either. It was pretty wacky.

I love that we're talking about pumping during the super bowl (which I am watching.) What worked for me - using an electric pump at work - was to get the pump started, and close my eyes and imagine the baby was actually nursing, and I would get letdown within a couple of minutes, and be done in about 15. I always had a really strong letdown, though. It helps to practice when you really need to nurse.

sj, although actual breastfeeding was easy, pumping was very difficult and time-consuming for me. Using, in fact, the same exact pump as flea.

It didn't help that I didn't have a new mother's room available when I went back to work, but even when I was pumping at home, it took me about 45 minutes to get much of anything.

Peyton Manning had reached a saturation level that tipped me into exasperation years before I found out about him sexually harassing that trainer. So I'm in theory rooting for the Panthers.

sarameg, that Mike Tyson ad played in NC too. So weird.

Weird. One of my swimming regulars works for them. I've stood on his shoulder (he had a cramp.)

The rolls looked great, but didn't taste that much of either cheese or sriracha, which is a shame.

My Dad's so checked out that my BIL thinks his meds are messed up. Sigh.

Most boring pro sports game I've watched in a long time, and the commercials weren't awesome either. A weird theme involving talking animals. Also (to paraphrase Twitter) Helen Mirren has some community service for her latest DUI? I can't see any other reason for her to be seen with a Bud (in a bottle no less!).

And the icy cold thing was weird. Brits don't like their beer cold. That's an American thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Quit monkeying around!
