"Would you let your friend breastfeed your child?"

My son is 21 years old. My friends are in their 40s.

So if any of my friends are still able to lactate, and my son was into it ... sure I'd be OK with it.

When two freaks find each other like that you got to support it.

The reason fanboys (like me and "Michael Lawrence") are pissed about the Fantastic Four movie is that we liked the comic. They showed a family that had superpowers and they weren't boring or stupid, although they had adventures that were a little cartoony. Dr. Doom was Evil Iron Man with some magic powers too.

Pixar made a movie about a family of superheroes: They called it The Incredibles. They rearranged who had what powers, and changed fire to superspeed, but it was basically the Fantastic Four and they had a Dr. Doom like antagonist in Syndrome!

So why can't Hollywood make a live-action movie of the Fantastic Four as good as The Incredibles? Is that too much to ask?

I don't know what to be upset with more. The fact this asshole shot a cat; or the fact this asshole is a dentist.

Here's my question. Why hasn't Pixar made an Incredibles 2? They've had a decade. Found time to make that piece of shit Cars 2.

Samuel L. is still around. Hell. I'd even take a Frozone spin-off.

Written and directed by brad bird no less. Most cool

If its a Pixar sequel, it'll probably disappoint - like Toy Story 2.

But The Incredibles 3 will be well worth the wait.

I hear the sequel to Idiocracy stars Chet Haze

Also we are only hearing one side of the story. How do we know if it was worth killing Cecil if we haven't even seen the rug?

My daughter has been breastfed by other people, and I have breastfed other friend's babies.

When my daughter was a little less than 3 months old I had to have an emergency appendectomy. I pumped some milk before the surgery, but she had never had a bottle or even a pacifier before. So when her father tried to give her a bottle she didn't understand what it was. The hungrier she got the more and more frantic she got and the less she would even try the bottle. That is really normal for breastfed babies. So at 2am I had a starving infant, I was full of post-surgery drugs and wouldn't be able to feed her for almost 12 more hours. So I called my aunt who had a baby 3 months older than my daughter. She agreed to feed my baby and so my (now ex)-husband took my daughter to my aunts house and my aunt fed her. Babies eat often, so my aunt fed her several times over the next 12 hours.

It was actually really cool. When my daughter breastfed with me she would want to be latched on the breast for long stretches, napping and eating slowly. With my aunt she would eat quickly and then sleep alone. When I got out of the hospital and fed her myself again for the first time in almost a day she was eating for just a minute when she stopped and looked right at me and smiled one of her first unprovoked, intentional smiles.
