(Wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to be a hot hapa chick except that there's usually more hapa girls than guys, i.e. an extra factor to decrease my chances of getting "hapa booty")

Jay,
What's up with that? I always seem to meet hapa girls. The hapa guys I have met have been hot but they're few and far between!

All of the hapas I've seen have always been with white people. I've never seen two hapas together or a hapa with an Asian. Maybe b/c they idenitify more with being white??? Or it may be b/c I live in New England and there are about 10 hapas here...

David Usher was born in Oxford, England to a Jewish father and a Thai mother. I found it in a website

AC Dropout:

Thanks to guys like you, there are plenty of mechanics who don't starve!

I've found that for Helena, you have to take care of three things--check/change her diaper, feed her a bottle and hold her in the rocking chair for about 30 minutes to an hour before putting her back in the crib. I've used the orthodontic pacifier on her too. It takes A LOT of patience though--getting 6 hours of sleep with about an hour interruption in the middle is not the same as getting a solid block of 6 hours of sleep without interruption. I'll be thankful once we hit 3 months, which is typically when they sleep through the night.

Jay:

Jasmine the hapa without one? HAHAHHAHAAA!!!

I am going to do some reading up on methods which can be done WITHOUT paying for that chart the site advertised and WITHOUT the use of an... apparatus as suggested by AC Dropout. However, it'll be about 4 years before we try for Jason in any case...

Hank Lewis,

Stick your pinky in her mouth to shut her up. Natural suckling reflexes, take advantage of it. It going to be like that for the first couple of months. Joys of parenthood.

Most books say wait 2 years to let the mother recover from the first child. I say wait 4 years to let you bank account recover from the first child college tuition cost.

Either do it yourself or go to a fertility clinic. Same principle involved. It's all in the pH of semen. But then again I'm not even the type of guy that is willing to change the oil in my own car.

[Some of those items are ones I've read before, but I wonder how scientifically reliable they are!]

Hank,

It's a pretty good method. Trust, me talk to a physician about it.
My uncle had two girls and really wanted to finally have a boy. It worked for him, many of my mom's friends, and I'd probably be Jasmin... the hapa w/o it.

AC Dropout:

The method you described is one that I haven't heard of before, but it sounds a little too messy for my tastes!

Jay:

In any case, we're going to wait a couple of years before child #2. Right now, I'd be happy if wode xiao gong-zhu would just SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!

[Maybe the reason he looks like me so much is because we are both eurasian, and both our fathers are asian and mothers white.]

Wouldn't David Usher's father be White rather than Asian since his surname is "Usher"??? It sounds like a Caucasian surname to me.

I wondered about David Usher
I wondered whether he was partly asian, as he does kind of look asian, but Usher doesn't sound asian.
