I probably wouldn't mention it then, but what do I know? I married I guy I met was seventeen. If he croaks, I'm toast.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why is wanting a husband and kids at 38 any worse than wanting them at 25?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I wouldn't feel safe giving birth to a kid at 38, but I'd probably make a reasonably unEvil Stepmother.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, my twin sister had a divorce and another bad ending to a five year relationship before meeting her awesome husband four years ago and finally getting pregnant. Crazier things have happened!

I am totally down with that.
I have a childhood friend in SF who is promising me cuties if I come up and visit him. SF--so many reasons to go, and yet I never seem to.

Or adoptive mother? I mean, you've still got plenty of good options!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't really have a "bucket list", though there are some things I'd like to do.

Crap. Olivia just came in and asked me if I could "tell her the story of Jewish people--the WHOLE thing" tonight at bedtime.
I knew being an atheist was going to bite me in the ass someday.

Always Anti-fascist!
Allyson, I've been there. Actually, I still am. I think making a list would just make me sad, though. Because, hey, I (almost) died twice.
