why is breeding negative? raising children is negative as opposed to rearing children. isn't breeding reproducing?
and i read that in the new york times about the 20's are 30s are 40s. i am 30 acting like 20 with enough experience in finding dead bodies as a 70 yr grandma would have. so roast me marty. i can't wait.
yeah and where are the bitches, speaking of negative!!!

Uh-oh. Martino's going up against Rosie. I can only guess where the ball will land. Watch out folks.

Look, I think that the people who choose to have children can get along with the people who don't choose the same thing, and vice versa. It's really not that big of a deal. There are much worse divisions between human beings in the world. If some insane terrorist attack were to happen, it would all look really trivial wouldn't it?

Mark ... you are right. Sometimes people should be able to just agree to disagree. Why can't people here ever say "i just don't agree" and move on. Instead, more often than not, it seems to turn personal. I'm in my mid 30s and haven't had children and don't know if I'll ever be a father. It may not be for me. But the joy a parent can experience seeing there child reach for them is sure something that can make a bad day seem just fine. My younger brother has had sole custody of his daughter (she's now 12) since she was a toddler. Odd for a guy, right? Me, my mom, and my older brother were primary babysitters for many moons. I remember going to pick my niece up from one of her first days of Kindergarden at a new school on a day my brother had to work. I stood outside on the sidewalk and when she saw me she came running up to me with her hands out crying said "michael, I've had a bad day!" and it about broke my heart. She just hugged me and we went for icecream. I'll never forget that one instance. I can't imagine how many times like that where you just seem your child's whole world as a parent ... makes all the gripes of daily life seem so trivial.

I'm finished rambling ...

Brett ... get Sloth to post that picture of you and Shay. I for one would love to see a pic of a new dad and his son.

ah mark come on, everybody knows i love rosie (which, admittedly, is easy to do since i have never met her). she annoys me, i attack her, she fights back, it's all in friendship or something, and it is amusing in writing too (more than i could say about some people around here who seem to suffer from logarrhea)

Rosie, you sound saucy..... If I wasn't already married I think we'd make a smashing pair of breeders........

The lines are open, and it's dedication time. I'm requesting the number one reason to listen Tom Waits -- dedicated to Rosie and the boys. Okay, let's sing:

When I lie in my bed at night
I don't want to grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't want to grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things?
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't want to grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't want to grow up
Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want
The only thing to live for is today
I'm going to pull out all my TV sets
I don't want to grow up
Open up with a (Starbucks express)
I don't want to grow up
I don't want to have to SHOUT IT OUT
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't want to be filled with doubt
I don't want to be a good (girl) scout
I don't want to have to learn to count
I don't want to have the biggest amount
I don't want to grow up
When I see my (paxacidus) fight
I don't want to grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't want to grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothing out there but sad and gloom
I don't want to live in a big ole tomb
on Grand Street
When I see the five o'clock news
I don't want to grow up
They comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't want to grow up
Stay around in my own hometown
I don't want to put no money down
I don't want to get me a big ole loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't want to float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How in the hell did it get here so soon?
I DON'T WANT TO GROW UUUUUUUUUUUP!

no shit sarah. that is partly how i feel about this topic . the other part is what martino calls logoreahea? how can there be so many posts with little urgency or controversy. this is why it feels as i called it " a 40 year old chat room". which i am and soon will literally be a part of.
even though i may be perceived as a bit of a twat or cunt or tatooed 20 year old, i still like to add a little nads to it all. mad , bad and dangerous! right tommy?

with this in mind should we continue about breeding or is this thread over?
p.s. i am pregnant

Quoting Mark: 'Wonder where the "queen of the book group" went?'
Went to work, got fired, got depressed, got my utilities shut off, got my shit together, got a job and forgot all about the fucking book group.
How the hell is everyone?
