I have also recently added a website to one of my other hobbies photography.

  4. Ron, I took care of a woman who was pregnant with an anacephalic baby. One way we knew she was at risk for having a deformed baby was the amount of fluid in her uterus, another factor was her age. Fortunately she had four living children, but was so looking forward to having the little girl she was carrying. She was induced on Thanksgiving Day--the day my father died when I was a child (which was why I always worked that day, I never celebrated it). The little girl did not wait for the doctor to arrive and I delivered her. She was born dead and we dressed her in a knitted pink dress and a little pink hat that disguised the fact that she was born without a brain (anacephalic). The mother held her in her arms as she her husband and another RN and I cried. With some high risk pregnancies there is a reason why a woman miscarries, and this was one of them. To carry a baby full term and then have it born too deformed to live is a very horrible thing--if the baby lives for a few days and dies because of a severe deformity it is a terrible tragedy as well. That woman could have lost her baby at any time. She happened to lose it two weeks after the incident with Rampage, but apparently he did nothing which contributed to the fetus's death--16 weeks is too early to survive.

  5. Dan,

    The Meaford express is a southern Ontario news paper.

  6. You got it. I agree with you. If not for my Google Alerts, I can't say I would ever end up reading The Meaford Express?!?!? Where in the hell is Meaford?

  7. Dan,
    Thanks for the info. I not know if I would be as confident as that writer but he had some rather good picks. Thanks for the heads up.

  8. Hey Ron. I thought this article was rather timely given our Max debate. I don't know that I would pick him for my "all league" team, but it is an interesting perspective. It looks like I'm not the only one that thinks Afinogenov is due for a rebound. http://www.meafordexpress.com/meafordexpress/article/114370

  9. Anytime Dorthy. I would hate to disappoint someone who has taken the time to steer me to something they need me to read.

  10. Wel then, thank you for making my article an exception. Appreciate it buddy.

  11. Dorthy thanks for the offer. But I am not really a wrestling fan.

  12. I hope you will find the article "WWE: Oh No! What Happened to Vince McMahon?" in my archives and read it. Thanks for commenting on my article.
