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 wonder where she got that phrasing from.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm pretty sure "the story of Jewish people--the WHOLE thing" would be a daunting bedtime story prospect for even the most ardent theist, Cash. As topics go, that one's not small, no matter which side you approach it from.

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

You want I should call? I know the story of mah people. I'll leave out the perverted Woody Allen stuff.

Because books.
That's when I would say, "Let's go to the library/bookstore and find a book we can read together."

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
My best friend just had a baby last year at 38-almost-39, and is thinking about having another at 40. And my parents had me when they were 43. Which is not to say that you should feel one way or the other about it, it's a very personal decision, but there's some useless anecdata for you.
Of course, my mom had to go and get cancer and die at 61, which was no fun, but that could happen to anybody. My brother went and got a brain tumor and didn't make it to 60, so you know, my family, what's their problem?
So I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this $9.00 beer I'm drinking! It really is FG.

Well ... one way or another, it's a way to deal with insomnia.

I knew being an atheist was going to bite me in the ass someday.
Em became an atheist (for now anyways) after she read the Bible. I've tried to avoid swaying her beliefs one way or another, but I'm sure some of it has rubbed off.

As a person about to be 39, I have 5 college friends with babies 1 year old or younger, and 2 who are currently pregnant. I mean, personally, I feel WAY too old to have a baby right now, but I suspect that is largely the fault of the two existing children (who are 8 and 5, and like youth-sucking vampires, although cute and clever).

I think the thing that makes the biggest difference as you get older is whether or not you already have kids. I'm completely done, but I noticed with Sara how different it was (as in harder), because I had the two boys to run around after.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.
You need to change that. Bring Allyson with you too.
