Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #190: Springing Forward
Originally posted by wolverineTrumpet View PostI think I'd prefer that situation over my current one.
If I take a sick day, I immediately have co-workers asking/spreading rumors that I'm pregnant.
I show up at Easter with the in-laws where a cousin noting the the 2 month old and parents arriving states, "just one more cousin to go" and then stares down Mr. wT and I.
I thought I was done with this crap when my bro had kids. My mom stopped asking the "when are you gonna settle down and have kids?" 8 years ago when my nieces were born.
As someone who has reached the 95% confidence threshold that the answer to that question for me is "not a bloody chance," I can't wait for that dramabomb to drop.
My sister settled down, married, and popped out two girls, which has starved the grandbaby fever for now. Still, she took her husband's name, and I'm the last male standing in the bloodline, so I suspect it's going to rustle some jimmies. Eh, its not like we're the Clintons or something. Plenty more of us in the phone book (actually not joking - my dad ran an income tax gig for a few years and had a shocking number of customers who shared our not-quite-common last name.)
That said, I'd be open to adoption or Big Brothers/Big Sisters later in life if conditions are right. I want to do SOMETHING to help stave off the first five minutes of Idiocracy.Michigan Tech Huskies Pep Band: There's No Use Trying To Talk. No Human Sound Can Stand Up To This.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #190: Springing Forward
My family stopped asking for a while, then my last ex came along. I also am the last to carry the bloodline (as in name; bro has 2 girls, and no more children for him). Then my son was conceived, but before he came to this world, that train derailed. No one is bringing up the subject with me anymore, for obvious reasons.
Went to church tonight, as I got a promo code for some free credits that had to be used. Sat next to a guy fresh from TX who didn't know anything about hockey, and since it was on one of the tvs, had a lot of questions. That was honestly fun, answering and explaining the sport. "Wait, you can fight, but there are unwritten rules about it (referring to The Code)?" "Ok, what's this about not touching a goalie, I heard something about that."Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #190: Springing Forward
I have succeeded in keeping my parents from asking about grandkids by making them question whether or not I'm actually fit to raise another human.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

Howdy Lodge. It's Tuesday. First day of the week for me. Office was closed yesterday. Nice to have the day off. I was up at my mom and dad's for Easter. Came home, did laundry and caught up on some dvr'd shows. I am so behind.
