Man… some really misinformed youths out there. click on them to read some common teenage myths about contraception.
It found 85% of GPs thought young people were not using effective contraception because they were too embarrassed to ask for advice. But 70% believed ignorance was the problem, and 70% believed teenagers were worried their confidentiality would not be respected.
(And yes, overlap occurs. it’s not bad math.)
Despite the noise and annoying passengers, being a train conductor must have its moments:
Gil Murtagh’s train from Hoboken, N.J., stops at Paterson. One day recently, a pretty girl got off and ran into the arms of a young man holding flowers. From his seat, Mr. Murtagh smiled nostalgically at the lingering embrace, mood uplifted. As the train pulled out, the conductor smiled, too. “She was smooching with some guy in Hoboken also,” he said.
My first attempt to use the ‘quote class’… let’s see how it looks… not sticking out. bah! it must be restricted, or I’m doing it wrong.
In other news, another hippie couple of my aquaintance is fertile. Leisa is 2 months along now! Here’s a picture of she and me at my first phish show, way back in the day.
Times have changed since that photo… I’m down to a goatee,(and hopefully my face looks a bit thinner) she’s got a red rinse now, instead of being a blonde… and the VW van behind us is long sold. I think she’ll be a grand mommy! She’s quite the maternal type, and will be a wonderful nurturer.Her hubby, Brian will benefit from a munchkin, too… he seems the type to shoulder responsibility well. I hope they make like Dave and Cathi, and cut out the pot for the duration.
Well, thats 2 sets of Hippies… Dave and Cathi are about 4 months along now, too. They had an ultrasound recently, and as soon as the image comes back, I’ll post a link… I’m so amazed by the human life cycle, and how it works. Women have some remarkable plumbing that men don’t… (and vice versa… women’s are just more active in the cycle.) That’s part of the reason I started the … to get more perspective on such stuff. It’s been one of the more fulfilling aspects of LJ for me. Meeting wonderful people, and seeing how they think, what they know. I’m only a little jealous that there are 229 people there, and not nearly so many on my personal reader’s list. 🙂 It’s pleasing to me to know it has grown, and flourished.
