It never used to be that way

I was at the imaging lab the other day for some routine tests. There was a big sign in the room that said it's now illegal to ask the technician for the sex of the fetus, please discuss the results with your doctor. It never used to be that way, a lot of people must have been abusing the procedure.

On Friday, I decided to water the grass for the first time this season, it's been hot and dry. The robins were happy, they came out onto the grass the way they do when it rains.

Life is hectic as usual, everyone seems to have a separate schedule, especially L. I find it stressful. The kids have exams in June. We were able to get L her own credit card, it has a low limit, but she can start building her credit rating. She'll need one in university.

Hi Christine,

Pete, I think it is to avoid sex selection, some people may want only sons, for example

Hi Barbara, glad you enjoyed!

It really is stressful this time of year. It feels like the school year should be over, but the kids have almost two full weeks of school/review and the exams. :-(
