ROFLOL and PIMP - Ooooh how true!!! But then she never experienced the joy of children, the fabulous warming qualities of her husband's body in the cold queen size bed in the middle of winter, the absolute fanatical excitement of tripping over 34 barbies and one ken, the wonder when she finds a multitude of dolly accessories in her kids pockets as she pulls their clothes from the dryer, and the simple heartwarming words "I love you"

But then she never experienced the joy of children,

(or the joy of 15 hour labor, the joy of a teenager, the joy of a pregnant college dropout)

the fabulous warming qualities of her husband's body

(wait, she can have a man in the bed without legal papers...)

That's what nieces and nephew are for, and I have 17 of them. I'm so good at being an Auntie, that I have a great nephew and 3 great nieces... at last count. No one in my family has any trouble getting pregnant.

They break your heart and then they kill you. And you die poor.

Two words: Electric Blanket!

Yeah, I'd have missed that trip to the emergency room!

Can we say "Appliance Repairman"?

Seriously, I'm glad it's worked out for you? But there are other options, you know.

Gee, this was a funny. Sounds like you have a problem with family and the joys that go with marriage and children. Hope that changes for you. Life is too short to remain bitter.

I'm not bitter at all, I just made different choices than Sharon did. She is happy with hers, and I am happy with mine. I don't have to be a mommy to be happy; quite the opposite. The other Cindy may agree with me. Cyndi

Me Bitter??? I'm the opposite of bitter. I have a wonderful husband and child and a great life. I also recognize that it isn't everyone's dream nor everyone's reality.

Cindy> how could I be bitter? I'm off to buy a new Husqvarna Designer SE tomorrow. Whoo hoo.

I saw a sign over the door of my friend's teenaged daughter: "Raising a teenager is like trying to nail Jello to the wall."

LOL!! There's more truth in that than humor - but still very very funny.

... but one can have children without "prince charming". Nowadays many do.

My Taco QI says "I love youuuuuu" in a nice yodeling howl. He also says "my momma" as clear as can be = well to my ears anyway. Does anyone else have taking QI's? And those adoring eyes just can't be duplicated. LOL!

You go girl! More power to you. Thank God women have the right to choose these days.

how could I be bitter? I'm off to buy a new Husqvarna Designer SE tomorrow. Whoo hoo.

It's so nice to give yourself a really great gift! Congratulations! Cyndi

Oh, that's a Good One! Cyndi

Yes, my Tazzy calls my name with a two syllable "meh-MEH!" and yes, I do answer to my name when she calls me from the other side of the house. We actually have a small vocabulary between us and my other kittycat; they are quite patient with me as I learn their language, and they do respond with encouragement to my attempts to make meaningful cat noises. Is there a support group or medication for people who meow at their cats? Some dog people give me hesitant looks when I meow. Cyndi

Does anyone else have talking QI's?
