Beards on faces

I really hate facial hair that has been trimmed in a 'fancy' way. If you're gonna grow some fuzz that's fine, just let it grow natural. Shaving some spots and not others is really unattractive. It must be a real pain to maintain too!

Your fancy words don't impress me

You had to say marionettes you couldn't just say puppets

Kids these days

Just heard a kid describe something as being 'fully sick'. Really? Really?

Wish I may

I wish I could be an archaeologist. Indiana Jones style though, no boring stuff.

Chinese take away from China

Just watched the first episode of Lois and Clark. Is it true that if you stare down an aggressive cobra they will back off? 😳Good to know! All love tidbits like 'Lois, I just want you to meet a super guy.' and 'You like it on top'. Finally, how can you not love that spandex suit? 😍

Woolworths has some amazing stuff

Curly hair is difficult to dry

Dear Anthony,
You were fabulous! You didn't talk to me when I just wanted to zone out and read trash mags. You suggested a different approach and it paid off. The highlight was that you actually knew how to finish it off! Loving loving loving my new hair xo

Apparently I'm ahead of the game in ICT education

Just figured out how to 'undo' on my iPhone. Woohoo!

Don't wet my nurse

Is it just me or is letting some other chick stick her boob in your baby's mouth 'ew'?

Many cultures feature stories, historical or mythological, involving superhuman, supernatural, human and in some instances animal wet-nurses.

The Bible refers to Deborah, a nurse to Rebekah wife of Isaac and mother of Israel, who appears to have lived as a member of the household all her days. (Genesis 35:8) The Torah holds that the Egyptian princessBatya (whose place is occupied byEgyptian queen Asiya in Islamic legends) attempted to wet-nurse Moses, but he would only take his biological mother's milk. (Exodus 2:6-9)

In ancient Rome, well-to-do householdswould have had wet-nurses (Latin nutrices, singular nutrix) among their slaves and freedwomen,^[7] but some women were wet-nurses by profession, and the Digest ofRoman law even refers to a wage dispute for wet-nursing services (nutricia).^[8] The landmark known as the Columna Lactaria("Milk Column") may have been a place where wet-nurses could be hired.^[9] It was considered admirable for upperclasswomen to breastfeed their own children, but unusual and old-fashioned in theImperial era.^[10] Even women of the working classes or slaves might have their babies nursed,^[11] and the Roman-era Greek gynecologist Soranus offers detailed advice on how to choose a wet-nurse.^[12]Inscriptions such as religious dedicationsand epitaphs indicate that a nutrix would be proud of her profession.^[13] One even records a nutritor lactaneus, a male "milk nurse" who presumably used a bottle.^[14]Greek nurses were preferred,^[15]and the Romans believed that a baby who had a Greek nutrix could imbibe the language and grow up speaking Greek as fluently as Latin.^[16] The importance of the wet nurse to ancient Roman culture is indicated by the founding myth of Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned as infants but nursed by the she-wolf, as portrayed in the famous Capitoline Wolfbronze sculpture. The goddess Ruminawas invoked among other birth and child development deities to promote the flow of breast milk.

The Islamic prophet Muhammad was wet-nursed by Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb. Islamic law or sharia specifies a permanent family-like relationship (known as rada) between children nursed by the same woman, i.e., who grew up together as youngsters. They and various specific relatives may not marry, that is, they are deemed mahram.

For years it was a really good job for a woman. In 17th- and 18th-century Britain a woman would earn more money as a wet nurse than her husband could as a laborer. And if you were a royal wet nurse you would be honored for life.^[6]

Women took in babies for money inVictorian Britain, and nursed them themselves or fed them with whatever was cheapest. This was known as baby-farming; poor care sometimes resulted in high infant death rates. Dr Naomi Baumslag^[17] noted legendary wet-nurseJudith Waterford: "In 1831, on her 81st birthday, she could still produce breast milk. In her prime she unfailingly produced two quarts (four pints or 2.3 litres) of breast milk a day."^[6]

The English wet-nurse in Victorian England was most likely a single woman who previously gave birth to an illegitimate child, and was looking for work in a profession that glorified the single mother.^[18] English women tended to work within the home of her employer to take care of her charge, as well as working at hospitals that took in abandoned children. The wet-nurse’s own child would likely be sent out to nurse, normally brought up by the bottle, rather than being breastfed. Fildes argues that “In effect, wealthy parents frequently ‘bought’ the life of their infant for the life of another.”^[19]

Wet-nursing in England decreased in popularity during the mid-19th century due to the writings of medical journalists concerning the undocumented dangers of wet-nursing. Valerie A. Fildes argued that “Britain has been lumped together with the rest of Europe in any discussion of the qualities, terms of employment and conditions of the wet nurse, and particularly the abuses of which she was supposedly guilty.”^[20] According to C.H.F. Routh, a medical journalist writing in the late 1850s in England, argued many evils of wet-nursing, such as wet-nurses were more likely to abandon their own children, there was increased mortality for children under the charge of a wet-nurse, and an increased physical and moral risk to a nursed child.^[21]While this argument was not founded in any sort of proof, the emotional arguments of medical researchers, coupled with the protests of critics of the practice slowly increased public knowledge and brought wet-nursing into obscurity, replaced by maternal breastfeeding and bottle-feeding.^[22]

Wet nurses were common for children of all social ranks in the southern United Statesduring the 19th and early 20th centuries. Wet nursing has sometimes been used with old or sick people who have trouble taking other nutrition. Following the widespread marketing and availability of artificial baby milk, or infant formula, wet nursing went into decline after World War II and fell out of style in the affluence of the mid-1950s. Wet nurses are no longer considered necessary in developed nations and, therefore, are no longer common.
