I slept with my wife and babies until they were weaned. We never had to get up in the middle of the night, and they never cried themselves to sleep. When they got hungry in the night, they latched on to the teat and were content. It amazes me that anyone ever believed there was any other way to raise infants.
It is a strange effect of our cultural plasticity that so many parents do not have a family bed. I was fascinated by how babies - my babies - learned to take control of their bodies and interact with people. We had arranged for a home birth, and took birthing classes. Our fellow parents-to-be in the class included a couple from Burundi, who were Hutu and Tutsi, the tribes you may recall were the protagonists in the Rwandan genocide in the early 90s. Jean and Letitia had fled the incipient violence prior to the horrific slaughter and reminded me of Jack Sprat and his wife, as Jean was a slight man, while Letitia was a copious woman with enormous breasts. As we all breast fed our little babies, and they spoke French, which I still had a smattering of from living in France in my youth, we were socializing a year after our babies had been born, and my eldest was tottering about when Letitia unleashed her magnificent breast to feed her little boy.
My son was clearly tempted. He considered the breast intently, much larger than him, and of much darker shade with broad dark nipples. My wife was a 38 HH cup, so her own breasts were quite copious, but were like pimples compared to Letitia's magnanimous mountains of nutrition. Jean's firstborn noticed my son's interest and latched onto his mother's breast furiously, clearly intent on monopolizing it, and we all fell about the place in uproarious laughter at the interplay between our babies, our skin tones, and their mothers' generous teats.
Regarding the ink scam, inkjet printers are, of late, potential to create electronic circuits, including printing solar panels at home. To do this the home maker must have bespoke ink, so printers that use only proprietary inks aren't the right choice for such use - or the software must be radically changed to enable the uses not envisioned by the printer manufacturer. Making our own inks seems to be the way forward, and will only be possible with printers that are able to use whatever ink you dump into them. In addition to electronic circuits inkjet printers can be used to print living cells, so the potential uses of inkjet technology is of mind blowing breadth, and literally is only beginning to be explored.
I remember in Win98 when I discovered the 'NSAKey' in the registry, and then began to scrub my registry of suspect entries, and serially crash my computer. I continued to tolerate Windblows until Windows 8, and migrated to Linux quite happy to be free of the intrusive surveillance and constant attempts to pierce my extremities and install bright yellow plastic tags with identifying numbers on them Windoze constantly undertook.
From all available evidence, Trump has been compromised by the blackmail Israel uses to exert control of politicians around the world, and has betrayed America to protect himself from being exposed for committing crimes. His lies about Epstein reveal this, and I am astounded people have any interest in what he says, having proved his words cannot be believed. According to Trump, the Epstein hoax was one of his primary campaign issues, which would also mean he was one of the primary attackers of himself in support of the Democrats. One only has to compare what he said in the campaign with what he says now to know without a doubt he is a liar, is compromised, and a likely child abuser. Anyone supporting Trump today is supporting child sex trafficking and Israel's blackmail of American government by pimping and murdering children to US politicians. They are just as much our enemies as the pimps and extortionists destroying the West and genociding children in Gaza.
Thanks!
