jceman 1 #31 March 7, 2003 Quote My son is 19. He's more mature than I am. That's not saying much for him, is it? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phatcat 0 #32 March 7, 2003 No kids, don't want any for myself. My cousins have been spittin' 'em out fairly regularly, so if I want to play with 'em I can. But if they start to smell funny I can return them to the owner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #33 March 7, 2003 You forgot my option too."None and haven't decided if I want any or not just yet." Dont get me wrong,I like kids.I'm just not sure I'd be a good mom. Afraid that, if I had kids, I would be unable to give them everything they need.Thats a huge lifetime commitment.Oh well, I'm still young. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

sinker 0 #35 March 7, 2003 thanks dude! We are so excited. Just as excited as the first two. Perhaps even more so b/c the first two are sharing in the excitement... you should have seen them at the ultrasound. Mouths wide open in wonder as they saw their little sister moving around, opening and closing her fist, even sucking her thumb inutero!!! Just wonderful!!! -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #41 March 7, 2003 Glad you allowed the multiple votes. I had 1 daughter who has been flying with the angels for a few years but want to eventually have children. Life is short!

Dumpster 0 #42 March 7, 2003 The choices given didn't exactly refelct my circumstances, either- 1 son, Esau, 11, Living with Mom in Western New York- 1 daughter, Sarah, going on 16, living with Mom but will be coming out to Illinois to live with Sharon and I in June. (And can't wait to make her first jump!) 1 daughter, Liz, 18, a freshman at Fredonia State in NY - I hardly ever hear from her unless she needs money- And 1 stepson, Chris, 22, who is living with us- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #44 March 7, 2003 Wow, a poll I can actually vote on! 4, 0-12. One that turns 12 Sunday (no safety day for me) and one that turns 9 in May. Both are really, REALLY pissed that I'm going to make them wait for their 18th B-day to jump. One that turned 7 in Feb and one that turned 4 in January that think that a skydiving dad is cool, but who knows what a few years of common sense will do.....It's your life, live it!
