I know of one person who must owe thousands in vets bills. Most vets stopped coming eventually. The one guy who attended looked for money up front.

Women in agriculture, this bugs me. It's not a new thing sure our grannies were milking cows etc. Why make a deal of it. Doesn't matter who does the job as long as it's done.

My neighbour doesn't call it babysitting, he refers to it as driving children....
Just edited to say he's the grandfather of said ''driven children''

They’re an awful dose, hopefully he gets some rest tonight.

Our eldest had a bunch of them in her mouth and they drove her clean mad.

Yeah he has then everywhere, including his mouth! He's only 10mths. His poor little backside and frontend is riiddled aswell. Heat of the nappy l guess. Putting him into cool bath with porridge seemed to give him best relief. Day 6 today. Not out of the woods yet

Do people use calamine lotion anymore. I can still remember the smell of it.

IANAD, but check out Phenergan, if suitable for that young age.

Edit: Wikipedia says "Use is not recommended in those less than two years old due to potentially negative effects on breathing."

You're better off getting them as a kid as they can be shingles if you get them when you're an adult

When I young my brother got them and my Mam made sure not to segregate him from me and my other brother. We both got them within a few days. A friend also sent her two children over to our house to play with us so they would get them.

Chicken Pox doesn't guarantee you won't get shingles, I've a nephew that got both and only about ten years apart

Horrible dose. I got them in my thirties because when I got them as a toddler the antibodies didn't kick in. Funny thing was the doctor also said that it would give me some immunity to shingles as I got chicken pox as an adult.

I always thought that shingles was something you got when you already had the chicken pox

I think you're right, it stays dormant in your system until you're run down, I got chicken pox at twenty one. I was really sick with them
I was going out with a school teacher when chicken pox was in her school

Women can have pox parties. If someone's child gets chicken pox the rest of the ladies can bring their kids around in the hope of infecting them. Get it out of the way.

Same in a lot of things, we'll soon have a female quota in politics,
I think the number of female County Chairpersons !!!!!! shows that it doesn't matter male or female as long as you want it bad enough.
Women In Agriculture is actually segregating them

That's true, wrangler.

And then they'll be dismissed as only there because they're female and having to get the job despite X being better but he's only a man.

That's also true. It'll do much more harm than good. It will also make your statement true in many cases where the best candidate may be overlooked in some areas just because of their gender.

There's a certain irony in doing this for gender equality, but enforcing the balance being tipped in the opposite direction will be damaging for male and female candidates.

We need to ensure no one is discriminated against for any reason in any profession but also realize that many professions will attract more men or women depending on their nature and quotas will only create discrimination.

Thing is though. Go to any Mart or co-op meeting and look at the demographics.

Mid 50's onwards men mostly.

Go to that "Women in Agriculture" annual conference and thousands of the yokes.
You'd wonder where'd they'd be normally hiding.
