I got a few a couple of years ago now when I started participating. I had used it for about a decade as the news aggregation place it is prior to that. My better half has little interest in politics, at least to the point where she'd find herself in a place like this.

We've yet to have any of the "bottle babies" you speak of, but have for the first time with the last group of half a dozen, been weaning them off of their mom who's with us as well. In terms of the pics and stories, I have more than a few of the latter, but none of the pics to accompany them. We decided early on not to have the reminders, which would be to the tune of a few hundred by now. As you may know or could possibly understand, letting them go is hard enough the way it is...
