Humor: 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk.' (Page 4): Hmmm, 60 years ago and clean shaven...were you a pre-teen? When Mrs. Brown, my baby-sitter, would breast feed her 3 yr. old...

No not lately, but I did try it almost 60 years ago, clean shaven.

When Mrs. Brown, my baby-sitter, would breast feed her 3 yr. old, I remember thinking he was kind of old to be doing that - and I wasn't much older than he was.

I was about 19 at that time after our first child was born. I also had Mothers milk until I was about 9 months old. My Mom told me she stopped breast feeding me when I started to get my first tooth. "OUCH"

yes 3 year old does seem like a bit too old to breast feed.

Do you remember what it tasted like?

When I was about 6 wks. old, and my mother wasn't available, the people taking care of me tried to give me cow's milk. It wouldn't stay down, so they turned to goat's milk. That worked.

I think teething is probably the most painful part of infancy.

I don't remember what it tasted like. When I was about 4 years old they said I was allergic to cows milk so my parents gave me goats milk for awhile. I guess I must have grown out of it because I grew up on a farm and all I remember drinking was fresh cows milk. I still drink a lot of cows milk.

I lived with my grandparents for a while, and they had a cow. I could drink the cow's milk if it was cold - but not if it was still warm. And I h**ed buttermilk, except in pancakes.

I've had Mexican-style chocolate gravy called 'menudo'. I didn't like it very well. Too bitter.

In Mexico City, I enjoyed many outstanding meals made with chocolate mole sauce.

Unsweetened chocolate is bitter. Dark chocolate is better.

I've had an occasion to eat lobster in Ensenada, but I usually stick to tacos in Mexico.

You don't like lobster?

I love Maine lobster!! Now that I think about it, I've had lobster twice in Ensenada. The last time was because someone lost a bet to me and John. (I'm sure glad I persuaded John to get insurance before we went into Baja, because he ran a stop sign and got stopped by the federales. He didn't know "Alto" means "Stop" in that country. In Spanish, it in means "High" and that's another story.)

I've been to Tijuana numerous times and never been stopped - except at the new highway, like a border patrol, and that guy only wanted a kiss. But I scared the heck out of one Mexican border agent. I'd been to a dog show in Ensenada and I remembered I forgot my dog's rabies tag - which you must have to enter San Diego. I was nervous and the agent suspected something. He asked me to open up the camper and when I did, there was my St. Bernard standing on the wheel well, looking out the window. The agent was scared out of his wits and told me to quickly shut the door. Then he told me I could go.
