I'm hard-nosed in general, I'll be the first to admit. But I believe, if you go back and look at that post, I wasn't disparaging older mothers. My problem lies with people who pump their bodies full of chemicals and hormones with the hopes of incubating a baby (especially given the number of babies needing loving homes). And I've never denied the wealth of wisdom an older family member offers, grandparent or parent. I wouldn't trade my relationship with my Mommom for anything. Much like my complaint with farmers soaking crops in growth hormones, or dairymen shooting their cattle with antibiotics to force milk production, my issue isn't with nature taking its course. I object to these things that unnaturally force production. Babies included. As for wisdom, isn't that what we all strive for? As an aside, it's amazing how much comment that post generates. As many articles as there are praising women who fight the odds with drugs and give birth into their forties, what's wrong with presenting an argument against that behavior? Remorse? No way.

You're bound to look back at your haughty diatribe about desperate, selfish older mothers with a little remorse. At least I hope so. For you, that is. By the way, a 16-year-old should consider him- or herself lucky to have a loving 56-year-old mom to confide in. Kids are more sophisticated -- and parents are more youthful -- every day. Not to mention that having older parents will be so common for the next generation. You're clearly smart and full of opinion. I suggest you pray for wisdom. Hey, Kim, you may want to soften up a bit.

I was looking up information on the copy cat building and found your site. I am also looking at the copycat as a place to live, opposed to my row home apt in mt vernon, and am frightened of it for the exact same reasons you were. I was hoping you'd be willing to email me and trade stories, maybe chat. I think we have a lot in common and it would be nice to know there's someone so similar to me out there! Hi!

The artist commune you live in sounds great. Some friends and I are planning to move to b-more and begin a new kind of church which totally embraces those communal values, that's why it interests me. i'd like to know how you work it. If you're interested in spirituality, we've started a discussion group in mount vernon every other tuesday if you'd like to join us. we usually meet a the brewer's art. have a good one. peace, Joel Kurz Hey Kim, found your blog through reading some Baltimore stuff.
