I lost my Dad @ 5 and really loved him. Wiped out my childhood memories for years it was so traumatic. Raised by a great Mom (she's 89 and a great friend and advisor). I raised my 2 daughters alone most of their life and they're great kids and thankful for me.

Thing is, you just can't tell how it will all work out: I was raised by a Mom w/o my Dad; my daughters were raised by a Dad w/o their Mom.

Some guys really want kids and most parents know that when you love and raise a kid, he or she is always yours - no matter what DNA says.

You are too funny, 'becca!

Good Post ya got here, Fed.

Hey, I see that wink!!!!

Kewl. Naw. not ridin' now. Been ridin' a long time, but had 2 wrecks in one day in Sept. 08 - the first @ 70mph on a back country road in the middle of the night and the second one trying to get myself home from the first one. My older daughter had just wiped out her new Ninja one week prior to mine. Told her I was just jealous of all the attention she was getting. We'll both be riding as soon as the attorney is through with the fight!

Have you seen the movie, "The Crying Game?" That'd be love. Ain't sure I got that in me (figuratively speaking, of course).

Is there really such a thing as band camp and . . . ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Well heck yeah, it's a personal choice - otherwise, it's a professional choice (and I don't do them) so . . . have a biscuit!

Sure. Some want kids and some don't. It's just another filter in the process.

Hell no, I ***** and whine and cry like a whuss! I'm a 21st century kinda guy.

Way2, have they seen your baby? 'cause that pic on your profile makes me think the father might be Spongebob Squarepants and that's kinda scary too!

Fed Guy, you ride or are ya posin'? Is that a Suzuki?

Yeah, what happened to 11 months and 8 months?

I just had a hankerin' and made some homemade biscuits (it's after 10:00 PM here), buttered 'em up and have undoubtedly sinned on several levels while enjoying them. Bet it's bad for me, too, but I haven't had sex since September so I'm gonna go butter up another one!!! Biscuit, I mean.

Hey back girl: yeah, that'd make you real bizzee!

Nemesis!

Well, if you say"20, 17, and 14 months." It sounds to me like you have one that's 20 months; one that's 17 months, and one that 14 months: that sort of fertility would scare any man!

Sure. Thank God.

My opinion is that guilt over any of those things listed is more damaging than the things themselves.

Yeah, I was really interested in this girl - we shared a common friend. We would talk only when around the friend and it was always awkward. Lasted for probably 2 - 3 years. Finally, I just asked her out: wow, we were both interested all that time and both intimidated by the other. Missed all that opportunity. Still love her, or at least the memory of her, to this day.
