that sometimes, talking out of my ass is not always a great idea. some misfires, this being one of them.

However, while Her Highness had an army of orderlies and candystripers (does England have those, or is that just a Canadian thing? I adore the phrase, anyway), my newly pregnant friend was going through much the same suffering, but without insurance nobody really gave much a flying fuck. Well, I did, but I don't have "M.D." following my name, so the royal treatment seemed a bit obscene by contrast and that was the impression left.

New impressions have replaced that, so this was not altogether without purpose.
