Interesting NPR story

Did any of you happen to catch this NPR story. I just thought it was so interesting--that women actually carry the cells of the babies in their bodies for possibly decades after the birth, and those cells might possibly help to fight off diseases in the mothers body. Just a really beautiful theory: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... Id=5195551

I DID!!! I too thought it was fascinating!!!!!!!!
Very interesting... I look forward to hearing about what they come up with.
Oh, I love NPR!!!

We were on the streets of Philly, with Frank as a puppy, and met Terry Gross (who is about 4ft tall) who bent down and petted Frank. She asked if he was going to get big? I was dying to say that he would be bigger than her when he grows up. 8O
People laugh at Barkley and I all the time. I am only 4 Ft 11 and I weigh 106. At 9 months he already weighs 86 pounds. When I tell people he is only 9 months old they say "that dog is gonna be bigger than you. What are you gonna do with a dog that big?" I just laugh and tell them I'm going to ride him around like a pony! 8O
They just reviewed a book a couple weeks ago that I am DYING to read by Deborah Tannen "Youre Wearing That?". She is a linguist who exams the converstions between mothers and daughters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mean the ones they have prior to the age of 16 and after the age of 20--since between 16 and 20 they aren't talking LOL. It sounds like an interesting read.
That book sounds awesome, is it in the secular market, not that there is nything worng with that, i was just wondering. Mom and i don't connect very well, maybe this will give me a new lookon things, ya know help to open up a few closed doors :?
