Human milk in community fridge?

it's an irrational phobia...like elevators and spiders.  lots of people freaked out by those too.   Doesn't make it normal.   But I suppose it gives you one more thing to be unhappy about.

What's your definition of "normal"?  I haven't kept exact count, but I think about 50% of the people that have replied said that storing milk next to your lunch is not appealing, even though probably safe, including people with actual MD credentials.

Maybe it should have been a poll instead of a thread?

mitt

I'm normal.

Everyone that disagrees with me isn't.

It's amazing how your responses in this thread have solidified 6 members to personally email me with their negative opinion of you.


Works both ways, doesn't it?

I never said it didn't.   I fully expect when anyone, including myself, express opinions about topics that they have strong feelings about then some people will agree and some won't.   those who won't will dislike both the opinion and the manner in which it was stated.


I am perfectly ok with people who email you in their dislike for me.   It's likely people I would not get along with as we look at things differently anyway.   Not everyone has to be all buddy buddy.  Nothing amazing about that at all.

What'd you expect, Jud?  you posted that something many people find to be one of the most important things in life, and one they have fought to be able to continue to do while still working to earn a living, simply repulsed you.   You set the thread up to be controversial and strongly opinionated.   You're on one end and I'm on another.  

That six people on the internet email you their negative opinion of me surprises me in the low number only.   Perhaps you guys can start a listserve to bash people you are better than, complain and whine about things, and tell off-color jokes....wait...that happened already.

Thanks, Mitt.

That makes too much sense to some who love to consistently disagree with anything I post.

true.   I did comment early on that I am saddened by the sterilized drift away from what has to be one of the most normal things humans do.   breast feeding and the issues surrounding it freak people out.  That is pathetic to me.   I know I am on one end of this one.

yup...I form my opinions simply to counter yours.   you complete me.

Really Chris? That needed to be posted here?

I only consistently disagree 'cuz you're consistently wrong.

My thread was not against breast feeding..............it was against it being kept in a public refrigerator at work, next to others food.


That was the point. You took it personally.

basically everyone in life is either pre-baby or post-baby

there is a short period of time, about a year when you are "baby" while your first one grows past the boob/bottle and you are amazed every time they fart.

but once that passes, it's not news anymore.

my boy would get sick or whatever and i'd freak out.  he'd cough in his sleep and we'd call the doc.

now, the girl is not yet 4 months old and i'm surprised we haven't started giving her an allowance and sending her to the store for beer.  you just get over being barfed, shit, pissed, spit, sneezed, hacked and barfed (yes, twice) on.  titty milk is about the most benign thing on earth (except when it goes bad and then it is like toxic waste....)

jud is just pre-baby.  he doens't know.  Pity him in a way, but also envy him, since he knows none of the above, plus sleepless nights and worrying about the next time your kid barfs in his sleep for no damn reason and wakes up in his own vomit screaming.  (yes, they do that.. here, have a condom...)

This topic is going nowhere good.

Probably the only thread in recent memory to hit 5+ pages in less than day besides the MJ thread.




Done. Locked.
