Peg Rampling wrote... >A caul is a thin film of tissue that is over the face of an infant when born, quickly removed so said infant can breathe.< Right. The only thing that I would add to this, and on a more clinical note, is that this is the amniotic sac that contains the fluid that the baby lives in for 9 mos. before said birth. Generally, this is delivered along with the placenta (afterbirth) and doesn't usually come out as a living veil. Best, SueB

Not really, is barely there long enough..Dr or Midwife, remove it so you can breath as soon as you appear....you wouln't know about it, so not so funny...<bg> Peg R NSW Australia [email protected] Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. Checked by Norton's AV

Bettye, look up Google and you could probably find Premarin. Other browswers could tell you too.

just exactly what is a caul.? >>>>>> is a thin film of tissue that is over the infant's face when born.. Peg R NSW Australia [email protected] Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty. But everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out. Checked by Norton's AV

Mike-go for it. They should not be able to automatically do anything without your authorization. If they try to make it appear that it was in the contract, print it out. Some wordings are fraudulant and not allowed. Fraud is so prevelant in almost all businesses that it is indescribeable. I'm doing battle with Verizon right now about an unauthorized withdrawal on a debit card. If the credit card company pretends they can't do anything in this case, find the latest ad, preferably a national ad which does not say not available in some areas about consumer protection. Also contact some comsumer protection groups. Are the Gray Panthers still in existance? Try AARP. Good luck. I'm fortunate. Bof A is going after these rascals for me. All I had to do was fill out a form and file a report with the police. The sad part is that the police already have a procedure for following up on these. The Banks can fight better with the police behind them. The important thing is to report and go after it. That's the only way it will be stopped.

Marge, my son had a bird that didn't like me, and he left it to me to baby-sit it for weeks. Everytime I went near that cage, he would flutter around, and before my son returned from his trip, the bird had a heart attack and died. My son was the only person, he would have anything to do with. The bird could talk and minic an ambulance he heard also. He sounded like an ambulance all day, and he finally took his last ride. Did I ever feel bad. Bettye

I wonder how we can find out about it? Wonder if you can contact the medical companies that produce Premarin.? Bettye

This from our friend, Jeannie T. Enjoy! Thought you might get a smile out of this ! Have a good un !

Flash! ! ! To say I was not ready is an understatement... Have you heard the joke about the fellow the game warden caught hunting squirrels in a no hunting area ? He was told no guns were allowed in that area because it was too close to houses...The guy says, Oh I don't have a gun !"

The officer didn't believe him so they looked around till they saw a squirrel sitting in a tree...The man just took his hat off and stood there , looking at the squirrel....Suddenly the squirrel just keeled over and fell to the ground...not a mark on him !

I thought about getting the picture enlarged, but then I also thought about paying for rebuilding that copy machine and remembered the part about tearing them up too bad....Anybody got any good squirrel recipes ? I figure to get my limit early enough to fry some of them up for breakfast ! Jeannie T __________________ Jeannie T., I knew that guy, he is a cousin of mine lives in Cootie Holler, Pike Co., KY. He was really good at squirrel hunting and did so well they had to start canning the squirrel so they wouldn't spoil. Made their sister wear a veil all the time because she had just about cleaned out the squirrel population in that part of the state and was well into the rabbit population. Well, to make a long story short. They decided to make this wonderful family ability really pay off for them. He opened a KFC Franchise near Pikeville and advertised one piece of free KY Fried squirrel with every six pieces of chicken. It became such a favorite of that county and surrounding counties in eastern Kentucky; after only 10 years, he and his family were able to retire in Florida on beach front property. Now they just lay around on their private beach, but they still have to keep their sister veiled. They found out the last time on the gulf coast they had what they thought was a "red tide," Sis had taken her veil off to get a tan, killed 18 miles of fish and caused 15 whales to beach. The fish and wildlife people in Florida still haven't figured out what happened.

Hi Bettye, I have a Parrot that I would almost give up - not quite, she is OK as long as I am very careful with her. Can reach in and feed her and change water - but does she want to be friends - Not On Your Life, and don't touch her. Appropriately she is a Conure - and boy was I conned when I bought her - have some bite scars that I will take to my grave!!!

Many, many of our medications made today are from plants or roots. Now female hormones are made from plants, of course they still make the old one premarin made from pregnant horse urine. It's suppose to be the closest thing to the real natural female hormones, and a fortune is paid to the suppliers. Hey Sue, that is a real productive business and I understand they pay up to $85.00 a gal for the stuff. Half of my friends nearly died one day, when a Dr. from M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston told us what premarin was made from, but I still prefer to take that hormone, instead of the other. It is interesting how intelligent or smart the primitive people were, I have also loved the story of Easter Island. The airway paths they found on the island are fasinating. Bettye

What about the first child of a first child is that bad luck? Bettye

Marge, I have seen people leave Parrots with a long lfe in wills also. A freind of mine had one she trained to roller skate and roll over and play dead. He was beautiful. The little skates were custom made, but he surely made a mess all the time. A lot of extra cleaning to always do, Bettye

Marge just exactly what is a caul.? Isn't it a film of some sort? I do know that you are suppose to be physic. Do you have physic experiences? Bettye
