Yes, that is the hard part - the all-night crying sessions are hard work. I don't think it's any easier, you just know what to expect.Originally Posted by soundofmusic
Yep, just normal butter & icing sugar icing. Just heavy on the icing sugar. I was surpsied it stuck together, but it set hard and of course, got eaten!

I'm a newish Grandad, and its brilliant. You get all the love, all those funny poignant moments all the laughs - without the broken nights.
You know all those magazines for the older female, like Womans Realm, and Peoples Friend where Grannies send in cute pictures of Grandchilden with sickly anecdotes of the cute things they've said and done ? Well thats me now. I can't believe it!

I can't wait!
On the other hand, given my oldest son's propensity for sowing his oats, I could be in the situation of having a kid and a grandchild almost the same age in the near future.

I guess that is what really tires the new parent out, the panic. I called the doctor for every little cry.
That's amazing! You should do some you tube cake decorating...I'll watch...
You mean the kids still haven't left baby at grans so that you can share in the broken nights sleep?I'm a newish Grandad, and its brilliant. You get all the love, all those funny poignant moments all the laughs - without the broken nights.

I still hate those baby diving in the chocolate cake pictures and bathtub pics should be stopped before 3...
Considering dads fertility, your son might be a grandad when you and Mrs Atheist are still having little Atheist...are you going for a soccer team?

Haha! Yeah, that soon wears off. This one will need to be at least dark blue before the word "doctor" gets mentioned!
No worries on that score, I've blogged about my vasectomy!
(it was just a couple of years too late!)

I don't know, it may have something with being a nurse and little sounds going into the medical field; but I still take off work when she flushes or coughs...
Hay, I looked for that vasectomy blog, I was expecting a blow by blow detail...are you (as my dad used to say) horsing me?
I'm sure Steffi is going to be very upset about your surgery
Oh god, no; we're miles beyond that.
If one of ours is coughing up blood, or has a temerature over 45 C, we might ring a doctor, but other than that, TAKE THE PAIN!
Blow by blow is certainly is! It's just not so easy to find. It's also a lot more painful than I let on in there!
Pain!
^%##^$@$(#^@@!!! Keee-rist it hurts the day after! The stretching pays back about 24-36 hours after the surgery and it is no picnic. Goes away, though.
Nah, no pay for play!I'm sure Steffi is going to be very upset about your surgery

See, women have always claimed the vasectomy is a piece of cake...you should put this on youtube. Give men a talking to before they consider it

I was just looking over your other notice to see if I can take advantage of the great weather of NZ, the strong sexy men and your barbques
I would, just to disspell the myths, but in the end, I'd still rather blokes got sucked into a little pain as opposed to the alternatives. It's why the blog itself doesn't get involved in the bruising!See, women have always claimed the vasectomy is a piece of cake...you should put this on youtube. Give men a talking to before they consider itor the pain or any of the negatives - I suspect a large majority of men would use any excuse to avoid the operation.
Very few watch, apparently, as I did. Episiotomy, vasectomy, open-heart surgery - I find it all fascinating.

Weather - today, in the middle of winter, the coldest month of the year, I've just got back from fishing & shooting with Kaed. 9 am and we're standing comfortably in t-shirts. No fish, but he scared a few birds with the shooting! The northern third of the North Island has the perfect climate for humans - never too hot nor too cold.
Today is sensational - just like yesterday!
Barbecue is ready to go at any time! Blue steak a specialty.
Strong sexy men?

Ah the chop. I particularly remember the smirk on my wife's face...I would, just to disspell the myths, but in the end, I'd still rather blokes got sucked into a little pain as opposed to the alternatives. It's why the blog itself doesn't get involved in the bruising!

I found tea tree oil as an antiseptic to be very good.
Works well on bike chains as well!
Giving it some thought, soundo's quite right though about blokes not talking about it. We don't generally admit other blokes into the discussion about getting one; the only information beforehand is that one is about to get the chop.
Afterwards, while we'll freely admit to having had one, the details of the operation aren't usually discussed - beyond the obvious bits about the doctor needing a bigger scalpel, etc.
Oddly enough, our PM let it out last week that he'd had a vasectomy and it was treated with all sorts of mirth that I'm 100% confident if someone like Julia Gillard (Aussie's new PM) had admitted to having had a tubal ligation, just would not have happened.

I had my snip done by an Army doctor, despite having been in the RAF. Three days in Dock, general anaesthetic, SEVEN flaming stitches, the entire tubes taken out (and offered to me in a jar), then supposely self-dissolving stitches. No such luck. They lasted ages, and when eventually they were removed by some smirking female doctor, I could have jumped over a Tank. The worst of it was, the Army were so stupid, they expected you to LIE TO ATTENTION when an officer walked in to the room. Brilliant idea, with the Bits on fire. Got home, and my youngest daughter came to welcome me home, head-butted me in just the wrong place. All that, just for a divorce 7 years later!!

Classic!
I will note that the no-stitch method is pretty good - at least it's only the once you have any "procedures" going on.
Lying to attention - I like that!
Nobody's mentioning the after-match testing....

My brother in law had his done before mine and told me a large black homosexual male nurse came round to check the patients had shaved beforehand. If he found a single pube he'd lather you up and give you a very close going over with his razor, at the same time giving a running commentry for all the ward to hear. I was so terrified of this man that I got the wife to shave everything in the underpants zone the night before and I mean thoroughly. Completely unnecessary, said the the giggling nurse (female) the next day.
As to the actual op, all I can say is that to cough, is to know pain.
I've been trying desperately hard (if you'll excuse the pun) to forget that!! A two year old copy of Mayfair............Classic!
