AAARGH WHY IS WRITING LIKE TRYING TO SPIT UP NAILS AND THEN SWALLOW THEM AGAIN?????!!!!

Sometime in the last year or so, writing has gotten hard.

Also, does anyone know if they had baby carriers (the type you strap on your back, like a cross between a tiny parachute harness and a backpack - I think they're called Snugglies) in the early 80s? And if not, how would you go about carrying a baby for a long distance without tiring out your arms? I don't know why anyone would know this, really, but I've already exhausted my usual sources of historical knowledge (i.e. my parents), as they weren't carrying a baby (i.e. me) around until the 90s.

My kid was born in '82, and we had a blue corduroy kid pack, fit on front or back. It had been around for a lot longer, too. I recall seeing them in the '70s. Of course, all based on I think the Native American papoose.

Condolences on writing is heard... I hear you!

Ooh, thank you! It's a relatively small detail, but it has been bugging the ever-loving hell out of me. And thanks for the condolences - though to be honest, hearing me probably isn't that hard. By now I'm practically screaming it from the rooftops.
