1. I take it Mubarak won't promote that guy.
It's only a matter of days, I think, before Mubarak joins his rotten family in exile, taking his billions of $ with him.

15. US and foreign banks should freeze those assets.
So when he runs the money can be returned to the people.

2. So Far ...So Good. Since we fund the Egyptian Army and not Mubarik's Police
It seems the Army has been told to "hold back." I wonder how much that "Tear Gas Canister that was Marked.."Made in the USA" influenced our "hold back" on not telling Egyptian Military to decimate the protesters. :shrug:

4. It will soon be the Mubarak Going Out of Business Sale
It's just a matter of time and the degree of graceful exit involved. That said, I am in hopes the Egyptians do not replace on dictator with one of a different type.

24. I love it, I really, really do
I also have a son with autism, so it's pretty much my 24/7 so I guess I better like it. Luckily, we have 4 adults available for my kiddo, who, at 15 years old, needs lots of adult supervision.

22. This one?


It's a real heart-warmer, isn't it. One day it could be a really iconic photo surrounded by a history of how this generation changed Egypt forever.

:hi:

(BTW Do you deal with pregnancies as well as new borns?)

25. Was that an answer to my 1st or last question?
LoL

I have an agenda for asking you about it. (My wife is 9 weeks pregnant. Second attempt. 1st one failed after 8 weeks last year :-( )

26. Ah, it helps to read the parentheticals at the bottom of a post
I sent you a PM but you can ignore the part about the confusion. I'm not confused anymore. My answer is yes, I have been involved with all aspects of maternal/fetal medicine in my career. Feel free to PM me back.

27. OK thank you for your PM and for your condolences. Thanks for the offer, will do.
Have you joined the health group? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=222

I'm thinking of getting involved there as a way to occasionally have a break from the Egypt thing.

I've had about 20 hours sleep in the past week. Totally living on adrenaline now...
