Blissfully Child-Free

[1977Brewer]

I don't see a debate. People make choices in pursuit of happiness. Some have kids, some don't, nobody is wrong there.

This is just another one of those threads to test your restraint and tolerance. How'd you do?

I did awesome. Cheez-Its for everyone.

Well, then of course it belongs in the debate forum.

Well, in fairness to the OP, that's not how it started out. I read it more of a "Everyone else loves to babble endlessly about their kids, can I talk about how I love not having kids with others who choose to not have kids?" Yes, it went quickly downhill from there, but in no small part to parents who too it as (if I read them correctly), were somehow put out by the OP's desire for posting his thing.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, as I don't feel the same need to talk about my decision to not have kids, but there was a sharp turn in the direction this thread went that was not entirely the fault of OP.



Edit: actually, I do have a dog in this fight. Cheese is not food. I have not eaten cheese, nor any dairy, for nearly 20 years. I don't even like fake, non-dairy cheeses. Cheese and faux cheese products make me ill just to think about. Yuck.

Double edit: Do we still have a Miley Cyrus / sandwich thread? This belongs wherever that one lives.

Not to point fingers but..

..it was definitely probably Hunters fault.

 

[Roadliner]

well I didn't do well with it.. I don't know whether to have kids with cheese, or cure them.

I don't think we can be friends...

No. This one refuses to go into full derailment. We've been trying.

YOUR DESIRES TO BREED

Cheese eater. I bet you have children, too.

Do you see that? That's me, looking cooler than you, because I don't eat cheese or breed.















:fro:

 

[GuldTuborg]

Miley Citrus, the Sandwich Thread. Here is is.




You're welcome. Lots of good sandwich recipes in there. Too bad so many are ruined by additions of cheese.

 

[SnakeRidge]

I did awesome. Cheez-Its for everyone.

Sorry... I ate them all.

 

[bob1852]

I miss cheezy.

 

[1977Brewer]

Sorry... I ate them all.

Luckily I keep a box in the back of the pantry.

If you don't eat cheese I don't want you passing on your genetics anyway. I don't trust anyone that doesn't eat cheese.

I understand, but you can't expect to have a private conversation with a select group on a forum. Try starting the "I love my Glass Carboy" thread and see where that goes.

This was a provocative topic. It was circling the bowl for a bit there, but I think the nonsense-shooters have effectively saved/derailed it.

 

[SnakeRidge]

Lactose is the last of my intolerances that I just can't shake.

 

[1977Brewer]

I know a couple of lactose intolerant people that will just eat cheese and suffer the consequences.

These reasons are debateable.... and I'm still kid free for a few weeks, so there

That's something you dont hear everyday.

Ooh, that does sound fun.

Whatever. I'm more evolved than you cheese eaters anyway.

I drank my last glass of milk at age 6. Gave it up as I decided it was nasty. I ate my cereal dry from that point on. This isn't a joke. Screw dairy.

My wife is allergic to wheat and anytime a fresh pretzel comes into view she just deals with the ****s for a day or two. Can't say I blame her...

Oh god.. oh god.. what is going on? Somebody hold me.

 

[finsfan]

I actually do love my glass carboys haha. Would I rather have stainless? Hell yeah! But I'm committed to glass for the sake of our beer's stability.

I hear you, and you do have a point. But the fact that it is so provocative, while parents gushing over their children largely isn't, kind of reinforces part of OP's original beef.
