Yay Kat! Thank’s for pointing the Vogue article out about being 40 and pregenant! There is STILL hope for me, tho I realise I must now be extra careful and vigilant in finding a guy and takeing care of myself and the fetus so that he/she will be healthy! But I was thinking it was to late, and Grandma Leyeh was telling me to practically prostrate myself in front of any guy who would have me! FOOEY on that! Now I know that with the right preparations, I too can be a mom even at age 40, so that gives me some more runway to find the RIGHT guy to have s-x with and MARRY! I would never force any man to MARRY me, but I do want the right one to do so. Grandma Trudy is on my side, telling me that I have alot to offer a man and NOT to just settle for a schlub. Mom agrees. I wish the entire hive a happy weekend, as well as Kat and Kate! YAY!!!!!!!!!
