FFO And Smiles

 
With this face I join Nicole´s FFO.
What really made me smile: Saw Peanut, all good and healthy! With that I join Annie´s, of course, see:

 
This is NOT Peanut, found this on FB. But, awwwww...
Some funnies....
 
 
... kidding!
 






 The new series:

"Typical habits of the 60s that would be unimaginable today

 

@Sue: This is step by step and yes, you were right!!!
 
Pregnancy

Many pregnant women smoked and consumed alcohol in the 1960s."

Ingo came out just fine! 
My parents both smoked. In the car, too, even. Bro and I are OK....

 Wishing you a happy one!

I as a diabetic during pregnancy and I had high blood pressure, so they gave me a no-salt, no-carbs, no-sugar diet. A dietician helped me with my diet and I was allowed one glass of red wine a day and as the rest of my food was tasteless, I pretty much survived on the wine I think. When it was time to give birth I was grossly under weight and they recommended I don't breast feed. In spite of all that, my son is quite healthy.
Happy Easter weekend,
Lisca

I don't drink much (excepr for tea and water) so alcohol was not a problem when I was pregnant, but I wasn't careful about what I ate, and was too busy running around my very active toddler to take much rest, but I had five healthy sons, and I believe worrying for the whole nine months does more damage.
cute rabbit in your pic today. And many a true word in your memes.
Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend. Kate x

Annie said...

They seem to have a long list now of what you can’t eat/do when pregnant…I’m not sure it’s really necessary. I was still swinging a hover mower round our grassy bank and wall papering at full term .
Hugs,

Oh, grossly underweight is awful! And a tasteless pregnancy... not fun.
My Mom was 5th months with me on her wedding day and you saw NOTHING. I´m small but OK! :-)

Iris Flavia said...

I have no children, I cannot say anything to this. But my Mom was also working "till the last day"... These days... I only know from my SIL.... it´s a circus. To the olden days, hugs x

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, my Mom worked full-time, there was no fuss about the natural thing of growing a baby. Now it´s a money-machine even before you get to the point - here at least, meds for better chances to receive and endless ads on diapers. Drives me nuts. Oh, well, maybe it was really back then, to that! x

...Iris, always be happy and Happy Easter.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom - the same to you.

Obviously, the human species would be extinct if EVERY pregnancy was as risky as those restrictions make it sound. The statistics are what is being taken into account: can you make it less likely that you or the baby will have problems? What the advice is intended for is to change the ODDS of having a bad outcome. Of course most of the cases we know of had a good outcome, but the risks were there. This is not intuitive.

Today's funnies are VERY good. Love the litterbox and the astronaut/bathroom photo comparison!

RedPat said...

Love the funnies and am thrilled to hear that Peanut is back, Iris. ;-)

No matter how i feel when I arrive here there's always something to smile about. Some changes have been for the good but some just seem a bit crazy. Hope your Easter is full of smiles. Hugs Angela xxx

Iris Flavia said...

Happy to hear Peanut is doing well. One of Peanut's cousins was foraging seed I threw on the ground for the ground feeders.

Thanks for the laughs. LOL at the dinosaur one. Have a happy Easter!

Bill said...

Have a Happy Easter to you.

My name is Erika. said...

Hurrah for Peanut being back. And I believe fossil fuels are made from algae and plankton not dinosaur bones. More calcium than carbon in a bone I think. Sorry to wreck the meme. Have a super start toy our weekend Iris. hugs-Eris

Love the rabbit and the funny but true memes. I didn't smoke when I was pregnant, it made me sick. But I did before and after. I was never a drinker so I didn't drink either. My mom had 6 kids and smoked we all came out just fine. LOL Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a great weekend.

All the funnies are hilarious!

River said...

When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s it was odd to see adults who DIDN'T smoke or drink even when pregnant and all the kids turned out fine, no one adjusted their normal diets and when it was my turn in the seventies I never adjusted my diet either. I don't smoke or drink anyway, so didn't have to cut that out. All my kids are healthy.
I'll tell you what bothers me most, is those parents who give up smoking while they are pregnant, so clearly they are able to do without, but start smoking again after the baby is born! if you are able to quit, then stay quit!

Iris Flavia said...

yes to that!!!! Ingo. I put his pipe away in Freo as symbol.
He "quit". Now it´s those vapor-thingies. If lung-cancer hits I am out.
I admit, I smoked (to get my parents attention, which failed). I stopped, I quit, I am done. What nonsense!!! When cleaning out our parent´s house Bro and I found sparkling wine... went onto the balcony, he gave me a ciggie.
Gosh, went I sick! "LOL".
Was 2012. Think (!) he smokes still.

Iris Flavia said...

You are the biologist! But the joke is fun? Hugs!

Granny Sue said...

Those are good funnies today!
Pregnancy...I went through 5 of them and really didn't change much of anything in my diet. I didn't smoke or drink anyway, couldn't afford to! I have always eaten a fairly healthy, simple diet, just by choice and not for any big reason except I don't like processed food . All of my sons have been strong healthy men, so far.
