Happy Birthday brotha. Great house. I really envy country living (that's what I call living around trees)
Curious, is the 4 year old your only kid? Just asking because my daughters are 16 & 14 and I'm only 36. But I may one day have another, with a new lady if it ever gets there. What's that like being an older dad? I'm scared I'll be too much of a curmudgeon to like anything by then. But, I'm sure I'll be more patient and better off financially than when I was 19. - Oni Edited by onifre, : No reason given. Edited by onifre, : No reason given.

I have a 30 year old son too. They are actually both adopted. One with my first wife other with my current wife.
Being an older dad is a challenge but not much more so than when I was younger. Just more exhausting I think. I am a curmudgeon so if I can do it you can. I did almost turn him into fertilizer yesterday, but today it is a funny story we will have forever. The financially better off is a huge thing. Removes a lot of additional stresses I used to have.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Happy birthday, Percy--thanks for your magisterial voice and the best damned multi-threaded forum software on the planet.
I enjoy both every day, and my life would be poorer without them."If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads." |

Happy Birthday, Percy! Live Life Large.
As the others said thanks for the best forum anywhere.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy |

I said the other day after a long day's work. " I don't know what happened, I was never this old before."

Just remember, if you don't go to their funeral, they won't go to yours.
