The more women here is one reason I like it so well, the other is that the majority of people here are flat-out smart and it shows. And they can put a sentence together coherently.

Sorry for the hijack, nikki, it IS an important part of your thread though, don't you think?

Reefing is HARD; it's hard to do, and it's hard to understand.. a lot of it anyway! And here you are, a new mom and doing this diy stuff. It's really a good chronicle because of that. It is showing what you're made of.
