Video: Woman gives birth in the front seat of her car! (Not too graphic!)

Before I met Andy, I tried out the whole dating online adventure. You know, back when the most popular pickup line was a/s/l? (age/sex/location for those of you who don't know). I actually met a couple of people in chat rooms, and carried on conversations via chat and email for a while. It was a pretty neat experience with no real expectations, and I was amazed to find out that it was easier to form a friendship online, because you basically have to communicate rather than go by the visual first impressions! One guy attended the college right down the road…
