I’m a little late to this welcome thread because I had to find a place to hang my pants so they wouldn’t get wrinkly. ---

[QUOTE=Heffalump and Roo] Would you mind telling us what finally pushed you over the edge? What thread was so irresistible that you felt you had to post to it? Welcome to the Dope! [/QUOTE] Thanks all! The thread I coudn’t resist was on [chosing a healthcare provider](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=422055) during pregnancy. I’ve turned into a sort of birth options advocate in the past four years. I say birth options instead of natural birth because I recognize that there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer, but it frustrates me that people think they have no say in the matter. Regarding goats - are sacrifices possible? You see I’m trying to sell my house, and we’re not getting any offers. I buried St. Joseph in the front yard, but I’m thinking there are other gods that may be helpful if appeased. . . Squids are right out! ---

[/QUOTE] Did you bury him upside down? That is what my superstitious sister did successfully. We just kept the house clean and boiled vanilla and cinnamon in the kitchen before each visit. 🙂 Jim {my bolding above} [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-did-it-i-joined-up/405388.md?page=1)
