The other day someone mentioned that you could tell a Lactnut by the miniature
pump parts on the tree...

Today at work I was called into the nursery (yeh, we still have one - that's a
whole 'nuther story...) where one of the nurses gave me a brightly wrapped
package with a note that said, "Sorry, I HAD to do it!"  Upon opening it, I
saw a lovely Christmas garland decorated with golden bells. The nurse said,
"Take a closer look at the bells."  They were spray-painted flanges from the
"junk" pumps we had briefly had to pull out of the "breastfeeding discharge
bags" from a "nameless" formula company until they stopped supplying them last
year!!!  I had a wonderful time showing it around the hospital all day, and it
is now on display in my foyer at home!

Happy Holidays to all of you!
