Not really sure I follow based on my impression of your family life as it stands right now--seems to me that they generally "leave you alone" in your office there.

And no kids here, man. In fact, I think I am getting snipped soon.

Heh I have a funny mental image of Dave nodding off on the dope.

Skipping kids is a mistake, IMHO. I have 4, after all.



And yeah, after getting my arm cut off, and bones replaced with metal, I'm feel pretty peachy. I was given this card to keep in my wallet for going through airports, that says I have metal in my shoulder and stuff......that was NOT something I expected. Doc says I may not be able to fly anywhere without it. Heck, I cannot fly anywhere WITH it, without a plane ticket!

And yeah, my judgement might be a bit impaired right now.

And yeah, I'm repeating myself a bit.

ANd yeah, it ain't gonna stop.

You will be in for an awakening. Those broads change after you marry them, it doesn't have anything to do with anything rational, it's an estrogen driven thing. Hell, I staeted dating mine in '92, moved in in '96, married her in '00. I thought the exact same thing you do. Boy, how the worm turns. I don't know any male who hasn't fallen for this line of thought.

Grandkid's are an even a bigger deal !
Not as much work and don't cost as much.
But I agree, kids are fun. I have a son though
who is like Wrig and doesn't want any. I think if
that is how you feel, then you are probably right to
not have them. Why go thru life feeling like you did something
to make every one else happy, especially when the burden falls on you
not them. Anyone who has kids has to admit at times they are a burden
whether or not we like to admit it. But at the same time they make up for
it because you have new hunting/fishing/gaming watching football partners.
I wouldn't trade my kids or grandkids for anything, but man it isn't always fun,
and it still can get quite spendy. Just an oldman's opinion

Not at times..ALL THE TIME. Kinda like Crazy's raging at BF3 and heit detection...it never stops.

I remember being a new parent with my first, and not wanting to hold the teeny tiny fragile baby.

Now that baby is 11, and kicking my ass in video games.

That is because I am typing far slower than before, and my keyboard doesn't toss it's cookies from the blazing fast speed of my fingers! I so very much need a really good mechanical keyboard.

I'm guessing it's more lemon chiffon, or robin's egg blue. Pink may carry too much of a labia inference, and we know he doesn't like those. Oh my!

You'll be able to OC the crap out of it. I didn't bump mine by much and get 214 gb/s. I got
the woman's Computer going today and to my surprise it play's BFBC2 with out hiccup on
medium. May play BF3 , not gonna bother trying. Athlon 64X2 2.8, 3 gigs of DDR2 and a
GTS 8800. Surprised it played BFBC2 so well. That was online too.
