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.

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.

Well, then ... happy day, Percy, with many thanks! Did you ever think it would last this long and be this much fun? And to think we get to do this again next year. Life is good.

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 always tell people, "I'd rather have you come to my funeral than have to go to yours," so I hope you achieve your goal. When I die, I want it to be a surprise.
