[blparent] advice for flying on planes with kids

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I guess it depends on the kid.  My cousin's little girl had hers out, and it 
was the best thing her parents ever did for her.  She's breathing better, 
eating better, and finally catching up to her peers on the growth charts.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
