Blissfully Child-Free

She could probably lift 50 lbs with the forklift.. no guarantees on how well the driving goes though....

A forklift practically drives itself these days.

She sucks at driving. Put her on my lap in the Olds for a cruise around the block and she didn't understand the concept of hand-over-hand for tight turns.

I told her that she could probably do it easier with one hand, but she kept them locked at 10 and 2. She's never seen me do that, so she must be watching her mom white-knuckle all around town while riding people's asses and slamming on her brakes and flipping off elderly folks.

Speaking of which, I was planning on starting a "Blissfully unmarried" thread, but then I remembered that will cease to be true for me in a few months.

Damned tricksy woman.

Dude... DON'T DO IT. Women are the root of all evil. Run for your life.

Sounds like there is still time to get away!

We don't have to worry about whether or not we'll roll the dice and end up with a "problem" child (autism, Down's, deformities, allergies, or just plain aggressive/violent/disobedient).

My son has autism and we prefer the word "special"

This thread needs to be put in front of the firing line and shot at this point.

Surprised it made it this long.

Damned tricksy woman.

After you get blissfully married you an get blissfully divorced if you stay blissfully child free.

 

[Roadliner]

that is a pretty fantastic picture.

Moderator reminder: no name calling.

For those who are choosing to not have children, please be thoughtful about how you refer to children generally as well as children with autism and other special children. Think about who will be reading it (the parents of those special children).

I for one am avidly awaiting the time the thread reverts to photoshopped images of censored feet.

Who could have predicted 3 months. Glad it's over.

My favorite thread of all time

I'm partial to the men who sit down to pee thread.
Its where I get all the best homebrewing tips and tricks.

Had another great child-free weekend last weekend. A couple of equally child-free friends came into town to stay with us for the weekend. The husband is also a beer aficionado and novice homebrewer, so we spent Friday night drinking beer and playing games. We slept in a little on Saturday, then brewed 2 batches of beer (5 gallons of Baltic Porter and 10 gallons of an IPA). Saturday night, I guided them through a beer-and-cheese tasting (the wife is trying to foster an interest in craft beer), then made a nice steak dinner and watched a movie. Sunday morning, more sleeping in, then I made some eggs Benedict to fill their bellies before they went back home to their kitties. I played a squash match, caught up on some shows on the PVR, then called it a weekend.

Quoted for epic lulz. Yep, laugh at my own jokes and DGAF.

Saw this and thought of this thread:

Laughed out loud at that one, then posted it to facebook.

Last weekend was a little less exciting than the previous one, as I had to take it easy after Friday's "snip" procedure. Laid around, watched a bunch of movies and Netflix, drank some beer, played Magic: The Gathering with a friend. Would have been beautiful weather to brew, but I'm not supposed to lift anything heavy for the first week.

How was your guys' weekends? Got any plans for the upcoming long weekend?

 

[iijakii]

Long weekend?

 

[kombat]

They don't have Easter in Oregon?

 

[iijakii]

Oh, it's just not a paid holiday for most companies (mine included ). We're a bunch of suckers in the US and don't get many paid holidays.

 

[kombat]

Hmm, that sucks. Up here in the Great White North, I think pretty much everybody gets the Friday off, and us government workers additionally get the Monday off, too. I'm looking at a 4-day weekend.

 

[Homercidal]

People here are generally allowed to take some unpaid time off to worship if they desire, but it depends on the employer.

Same. Having the folks over for dinner Friday, going to a sugar patch with SWMBO and her parents Saturday, no idea what's going on Sunday, and then brewing a black IPA, drinking beer, and having a cigar on Monday.

If the weather turns out nice and gets rid of the crap that's coming this week... some motorcycle time will be tossed in there also.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Yeah, my company has no official holiday time for Easter.

But it's California. We're all heathens anyway.

Or maybe that's just me.

 

[GuldTuborg]

I'm a pseudo state employee, and get no time off for Easter, either. We're weird about that birthday thing here in the US. You only get one of them, especially if you want a national holiday made from it (them). The second one gets no respect.

 

[Venari]

I'm fairly certain nobody will be moving on Friday, (or will be unwilling to pay for the stat overtime if they are), so I'll find out on thursday if i'm working the friday.

If all goes well, I'll also have the Monday off

I'll have to dodge all the dinner invites between those two days to catch up on much needed rest.
