Woman Pregnant with 14th Child Will Keep Going Until She Has Twins (Thank God for free medical care!)

Sarah Foss, 39, got pregnant at age 16 and was so traumatized by the birth, she swore off kids for another 10 years. After having her second child in 1996, Foss has gotten pregnant every year since then. Now Foss is pregnant with her 14th child and vows to keep her OB-GYN busy, until he places a set of twins in her arms.

The Derby, UK, "mum" says, "All I've ever wanted is twins or triplets. It's my biggest wish, and I'm going to keep trying until I do it. It would be fantastic. In fact, I won't stop trying until I've done it. I love having babies - it's the most wonderful thing in the world."

Foss swears that her children are not a bother at all. She and her longtime live-in partner, Stephen Smith, 40, all live in a three bedroom house. Smith works as a canal boat builder and Foss is a stay-at-home mom but insists that they make ends meet by watching every penny that comes in to the household.

Belt-tightening is not an easy feat in the Foss-Smith household. Each week the couple averages $1,000 on groceries alone--32 loaves of bread, 75 pounds of potatoes, 126 pints of milk, 36 rolls of toilet paper, three large boxes of detergent, eight boxes of cereal.

The busy mom is also very anal about keeping a spotless home. So every day Foss gets up at 4 a.m. to make sure her family is not viewed by the neighbors as "living in a pigsty and behaving as low-life scroungers who beg off the state."

The couple's children sleep in movable bunkbeds and cots, so that they can change them around at bedtime. Two of her children sleep on an airbed. Foss says, that her household is "a squash and a squeeze, but it's cozy. It's home."

Just in case you're wondering what her children's names are (from youngest to the oldest):

Patrick named after Sara's grandmother's surname of Patrick

Stephen -- named after his father

Malachai named after a character in the horror film, Children of the Corn

Peppermint named after mints she craved during pregnancy

Echo named after a group of eco-campaigners who Stephen met during a job at work

Eli named after another character in the film, Children of the Corn

Rogue named after a character in the film, X-Men

Frodo named after a hobbit in the film, The Lord of the Rings(my personal favorite!)

Morpheus named after a character in film, The Matrix

Artemis named after a book character, Artemis Fowl

Blackbird named after a gathering of blackbirds which flew onto Sara's lawn (I would kill my parents for naming me this.)

Baudelaire named after the Baudelaire orphans which featured in Lemony Snicket's film, A Series of Unfortunate Events

Voorhees named after serial killer, Jason Voorhees in the horror movie, Friday The 13th

Thank god that there is a huge supply of shitty movies so that they can continue to find names for their progeny.

I wanted to name my daughter Dorothy Doddy, then I could introduce her as Dottie Doddy. My wife still cringes at that.

When it came time to pick out a name for our son, I told my wife that whatever name(s) are in contention, they have to sound good with the suffix "private eye". This was an actual stipulation. My son's name is Jake...Jake Doddy, Private Eye. Sounds good, right?! Wilford Doddy, Private Eye....uh...not so good.

Man, I was home today and the TV was on in the other room and the Today Show was on with Matt Lauer interviewing some new wannabe, Adam Lambert, who I guess was/is an American Idol thingy. I know it sounds near cliche to blast these people, but c'mon, I mean really, c'mon! Enough is enough.

Thank God for Claude Debussy, Mike Dickson, Rick Blechta, Frank, Bernie, Andy, Tony, Martin, John (if he still peruses this list), Norm and the whole lot of ya! That's my Thanksgiving toast.

I wish I did. Having to make do with a Korg T1. I did have a Roland D50 and Juno II (and
wish I still did) but sold them some years ago. Sure miss the Juno II.

The closest I've come to a tron is through a friend playing one on Human Instinct's Peg Leg album <g>
Are there any in Auckland? I heard a record studio has one tucked in a corner somewhere.

I'm on the mainland.

I think Neil Finn has one, Neville, the guy who tunes my piano used to have one many years ago. I have heard rumours of one in Christchurch. I don't think they shipped many out here.

Don't forget the Split Enz machine - used to be 'looked after' by the guy who runs/ran that prog shop a little south of Auckland. Stayed there about ten years ago and had a bash on it - really weird... Every sound split at key 22 to make six short selections, and a fine-tuning pot instead of the standard pitch control.
