Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Do Owen and Olivia know children around their age from that circle?

Yes! Which is actually great! My oldest cousin's grandchildren are Owen & Olivia's age so it's nice when we go to family reunions. Plus, I have a great-niece and two great-nephews who are close to Owen's age, whom we see quite often.

It's a crazy but fun multi-generational family.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm one of 15 grandchildren on my Father's side and with the exception of one sad estrangement we are pretty actively in each others' lives. One of us is getting married in October and he is adamant that all the cousins sing at his wedding. Fortunately, one of is a music teacher and will be put in charge of the grand chorus.

I also have second cousins on both sides of my family with whom I am close. I generally just refer to them as cousins.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but the picture is awesome! [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Huh, I'm in a totally different time zone now. Board time is my time.

The earth is weird.

I have a mere 7 first cousins. I'm the least interesting of the adult cousins. One is an architect in New York, one owns a coffee house in New Hampshire, one is just about to become a pediatric doctor, and the last is going to start working in China fairly soon.

Space is a lot weirder though.

I could have a family reunion in an elevator.

Swouncing

Four kids? Check.

Wow, I had no idea this story made it to the international news (even though every news report talks about it here today).

Yes! Which is actually great!

Oh, that *is* great. And it makes the possibility of their generation actually being able to really keep in touch that much more realistic (which I think is a very good thing).

The earth is weird.

When I landed in LA, one of the things that really convinced me that I was Somewhere Else (other than all the road signs being in English, and everything being so big) was being on board time.

I'm the least interesting of the adult cousins.

Without knowing them, I feel safe to say: unpossible.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I could have a family reunion in an elevator.

Me to. I think my contribution to this conversation is usually that I have 3 cousins. And we don't really talk.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

My father was the youngest of 12, so his oldest brother was a grandfather when I was born. I have second cousins my age.

Do you mean 1st cousins once removed? Those are your cousins' kids. Second cousins would be the kids of your Dad's cousins. I'm the 28th of 28 cousins on my Dad's side. And he married quite late, so a lot of my first cousins' kids are my age and many of them (my cousins) are now grandparents.
