I have a program that tells me where people are reading the blog. It will also tell me how they found me-the keyword they used. After a few months, I noticed that a lot of people (mostly in Indonesia, or Brazil)google the word "penis" and "lonely woman," or some variation of that, and then they get directed to me! <br /><br />So, half-way through the day, I realized a bunch of curious twelve year-olds were going to google "conception" and end up on the blog. So I changed the title, in the interest of public health and safety.Megan Coakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422558504606256516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-30115437712637212462011-09-14T19:34:00.237-04:002011-09-14T19:34:00.237-04:00You are going to tell us why you changed the title...You are going to tell us why you changed the title right?<br />Julie<br />(crappy Virgo, but nosy as hell)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-9213739740097070432011-09-14T13:28:45.081-04:002011-09-14T13:28:45.081-04:00I think that would make a great book (in the inter...I think that would make a great book (in the internet-to-book genre that's so popular right now).London Mabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344685160375710889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-25260673567514530702011-09-14T10:13:14.539-04:002011-09-14T10:13:14.539-04:00@London Mabel: That does seem to be his special pu...@London Mabel: That does seem to be his special purpose.

The Pack would be greatly diminished in creativity, zaniness and personality if you had not been inexplicably conceived. <br /><br />And blood type or not, The Captain would have a hard time disowning that child.

Like they arrived on a bus! <br /><br />@Chrysanthe: I'm happy you laughed, because I think that's why Five is here--to keep us in stitches. That was a bad choice of words. I've probably jinxed us now. ER, anyone?<br /><br />@Delia: The Captain was properly chagrined when he went to see the doctor, who said, "Good God, man! I told you so." We just can't keep our good men down. (wink)<br /><br />@Nicole: We are truly grateful Five joined us. Four is almost four years younger than Three, and he would have been odd man out. Now, he and Five are best buddies. Until their teen years, anyway.<br /><br />@Lora: A fellow fertile Myrtle! Perhaps Five will have a fellow Virgo join him soon?<br /><br />I wish I could blame failed birth control, but most of the kids are just the result of operator error.

I talked to the doc at the end of November, went off the pill the end of December and got pregnant in January. Turns out I *am* good a math after all! So, first try and bingo. PS the dh will not be permitted to forget the surgery b/c my doc has said NO MORE, backing up my refrain for the last five or so months of NO MORE lol. <br /><br />Personally I was an "oh shit" baby conceived on birth control during the disintegration of a particularly bad marriage. I have, thus, little faith in the pill because i"m, you know, alive.lora96https://www.blogger.com/profile/08171062741089674769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-79946391926888518422011-09-13T10:27:05.244-04:002011-09-13T10:27:05.244-04:00Loved this story.
