You are indeed. I love going to Idaho because in Idaho Falls, I'm comparatively healthy and attractive, but also comparatively thin. And unlike the two 15 year olds in the Grand Teton mall dressed in garb that make the Amish look fashionable, I'm also not part of a polygamist cult!
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, I think Hec is right. Organize your own Nerd Speed Dating. Why not? Plus, if you're like me, organizing things is half the fun.
That seems like a lot of work just to attain lifelong happiness.

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
Hey, I just lost..twenty-two pounds now. I think I'm down to just the one chin.

Trust my rage
So, I'm 37 and pregnant. Honestly, it feels sort of old, but I know lots of people who had or are having kids this late in life.

Like flea, I'm now 39 and can't imagine having another kid. Though I kind of think I'd like to, except I'm an EPIC FAIL at gestating. Plus, I have no life as it is. Plus people who have kids after twins are NUTS.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm 43 and don't want to have kids, but a husband would be nice. And, I think I could be a good stepmom. But, like Scrappy's friends, I have pretty much given up on that. I'm gonna be stay the old maid teacher with a cat.

Olivia just came in and asked me if I could "tell her the story of Jewish people--the WHOLE thing"
Does she understand that story starts with the creation of the earth?
Hey, I just lost..twenty-two pounds now.
Yay!
I have despaired of either meeting someone or losing weight.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I keep hoping one of those "and then just when she though she wouldn't meet anyone..." stories will be me someday.
Me, too.
I'm 36 (next month), I'd like to have a husband or wife (but not both), and kids are negotiable. I'd like to have a kid by 40, if it's going to happen, but I sincerely doubt I'll have one without a partner.

AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT!!!!
Was over at neighbor's porch (with power) who made us electrical refugees dinner. And I noticed a glint and then there was a roar of delight that came from all the way up the street!

Because books.
Whoo for power!
You can get everything delivered, don't have to do any property maintenance, and walking up and down stairs is good for the heart!
This is why I love Jesse. And amyth and I can go out for $27 beers occasionally, since that's probably what they'll cost by then.
