11:06:06 Host_Housepoet what we need from people, is if you see a empty link that says coming soon
11:06:19 Host_Housepoet we NEED articles written still for those subjects
11:06:33 Host_Housepoet yes it was, but we're doing some backend stuff that caused it to go down again
11:06:34 acidflowers WOW, that looks great
11:07:14 ethanbmommy I volunteer to write up something on the Nestle boycott, if that's needed
11:07:18 LEVISJULES It's looking great
11:07:39 Host_Housepoet I think we have the boycot covered
11:07:39 talula_fairie great job!
11:07:44 acidflowers where is the articles section?
11:07:55 talula_fairie we should boycott the boppy and liz launge and baby talk magazine now too
11:07:57 talula_fairie feh
11:07:59 Host_Housepoet http://bfin.taurus.internal.org/Activism/BoycottNestle
11:08:13 Host_Housepoet good topic TF
11:08:14 MOD_ariana talula_fairie You should write up a little article about it!
11:08:19 mwalton what happened with boppy?
11:08:20 talula_fairie I'm so mad about that!
11:08:22 Host_Housepoet That's exactly what we would like to do
11:08:29 talula_fairie ok, I'll write one
11:08:30 Hisrisingstar i will write the article about the WHO code violations
11:08:38 MOD_ariana talula_fairie YAY!
11:08:45 MOD_ariana Hisrisingstar That's wonderful!

11:09:01 Hisrisingstar .that has a bunch of the WHO violations by nestle
11:09:06 acidflowers doesn’t
11:09:06 Host_Housepoet right
11:09:12 acidflowers why does doesn't look like that?
11:09:12 talula_fairie they are supporting this campeign, I can't rmember what it's called, but it's all about making moms feel good aobut bottlefeeding OR breastfeeding
11:09:21 Host_Housepoet but without a govt. offical to enforce the code it doesn't matter
11:09:25 talula_fairie no coincidence they are launching it during world breastfeeding week
11:09:26 Host_Housepoet look like what?
11:09:31 acidflowers doesn’t
11:09:36 Host_Housepoet best for mom/best for baby""
11:09:38 Host_Housepoet oh I know
11:09:40 talula_fairie yea that
11:09:45 Host_Housepoet again, just a little trouble with the server
11:09:47 acidflowers ok
11:09:55 mwalton sheesh..hadn't heard about that..that stinks..thanks for letting me know
11:10:13 Hisrisingstar it should be the opposie, whats best for baby is best for mom    my child comes first
11:10:21 cali4niachef any advice for a mom-to-be who is planning to bf?  i am due in about 4wks, or whenever baby sweetie decides to come.

11:10:48 conchispa my boppy is sitting in the trunk of the car. i haven't used it for don't know how long. thank goodness for my breastfriend
11:10:53 mwalton amen..but i think that's one of the biggest problems if not the biggest in our society right now is that people try to schedule babies into their own lives..fit them in somewhere rather than doing what's best for them...
11:10:53 talula_fairie it's public
11:10:54 Hisrisingstar dont have it in the house as temptation
11:11:02 cali4niachef i give that crap away to those i know who use formula
