Marrieds choosing not to have kids

[Liisa]

OMG! Yeti's eyes! They seem like they can look right through you!

Yup, if ever an animal had a soul... He always seemed wise beyond his years. Must be from that deeply religious Tibetan background and hanging out with all those monks!

You know LIFE is hard enough as it is and than you have to deal with crazy idiots. Maybe I should have been born in "Little House on the Prairie" time???

I don't know if anyone caught SuperNanny yesterday, I was flipping channels. And they had a mother who refused to listen to what Jo Frost the Nanny was advising. Jo was getting so frustrated with her. At one point, the mother was saying that Jo was being "too hard" on her. Umm...your asking for help and than you don't do what your suppose to

awwww! I HATE when they do that! I yell at the TV.

The mom gets an attitude and says things like- I am their mother- I know what is best, MY kids will NEVER do that, I tried already, blah, blah, blah

Frito FruitLoop wasn't bugging me until she referred to furbabies as "mangy mutt(s) and feline(s)."

Methinks someone should figure out how to use BC. We don't need any more serial killers in this world who started out being taught by their parents that an animal's life is worthless.

My oh-so-beautiful and very precious furbabies, Motor & Stitch, both rescue-kitties:

FRITO FRUITLOOP AHHH! NOW THAT'S FUNNY.

Your kitties are adorable!

Hi, all, just found this thread after being on the CHeerfully Childfree thread on the CB. DH and I are 39, married for 8 years and happily CF. I have 3 wonderful nieces I adore who are now 19, 20 and 22. I love being the "cool aunt". Whatever maternal instincts I do have are more than satisfied with being "mom" to our very spoiled 9 yr old Bulldog, Winnie, and our two fluffly felines, Tigger and Pepper, who are 11.

Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you!

Thanks!

We are leaving for Vermont on Friday in our motorhome. Staying at an "adults only" campground on Lake Champlain. Anyone else have any trips coming up?

After our addition is finished (hopefully by Fall) DH wants to do (maybe) Mexico for 2 weeks- he needs some MAJOR R&R!

We keep checking the discount travel site we use for some good deals- so it will be somewhere for 2 weeks!

DH and I have a Disney trip planned for Sept (5 weeks and counting!!!)

Long-term - we are planning a May 2008 trip to Mexico and a July 2008 trip to LAke Placid, NY. DH does triathlons and he wants to go up to support his buddies who are doing the Lake Placid Iron Man. I, on the other hand, will be in the spa at the hotel. I don't mind watching the triathlons, but he's planning on staying out there for 17 hours to watch. That is just obsessive (says the wife as she peruses the DIS boards daily to get her "fix" )

Oh - and welcome to our happy family!!!!

I'm so impressed by people who can do triathlons, marathons, etc. Lake Placid looks lovely, I haven't been there yet.

Oooh, I hope you get a great deal.

Thanks, Madd! We are completely crazy about them. I want MORE, but DH thinks that 2 is enough!

 

[momomonster]

Four kitties is my limit, no exceptions.

Seriously, though, the last rescue is a long-hair, so cleaning up after her has inspired me to stop at four. I adore them all, but they're certainly a handful.

Hey Liisa- we're heading to Disney late next month ourselves! We're staying on the cheap, but I plan to visit most of the resorts while we're there- the Poly for Wishes & fruity drinks, maybe a lunchtime drink at the WL, dinner at the CG. . . I can *pretend* we're staying in the high-cotton joints.

December is our big trip to Peru for our 10th anniversary. We'll be traveling around for almost two weeks and staying in a different place every night. This is not going to be a relaxing trip, that's for sure! But, we will see one of the seven wonders of the world- Machu Picchu!

Happy travels!

 

[Hixski]

We are heading to Disney next month too! We have 1 night at BCV and then on to the 7 night DCL Eastern Caribbean cruise. We could have flown back on the Saturday we come back but decided to add another night. Our last night we are staying at SSR. I am looking for a job before we get laid off where I work. I am SOOOO needing a vacation right now. Job hunting is so stressfull!!!

 

[Liisa]

Hixski - good luck with the job search. Changing jobs for any reason just plain stinks. I'll cross my fingers for you. At least you have the vacations to look forward to!!!

Momomonster - thank goodness for DVC or we'd be staying at cheaper accomodations, or travelling alot less! I know we bought in at a pretty penny, but we feel like we are getting a "free vacation" every year. Yup, I can rationalize anything in an irrational manner!

 

[aclov]

I see a few of us are heading to WDW next month! I'll be there with my best friend and another friend staying at SSR for the first time.

Hixski - good luck with the job hunting, I've been there. I was downsized last year two weeks before a WDW trip. I was off for almost a year mostly because I wanted to be, I could have probably gotten something sooner. But I'm in such a better and nicer place, that it was well worth it.

 

[Liisa]

Ok... so should we say who's going when and where are you staying?

I'll go first:

Sept 18 - 22 Boardwalk Villas (first time at that DVC resort!)

 

[aclov]

I should have put the dates in my post

Sept 9 - 13.

BWV is my home resort, I love that place. But I can never go home! I usually book last minute trips so I have to book in advance next time.

I booked this trip last month and Saratoga was the only thing available. But I'm not complaining, it'll be my first stay there so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[momomonster]

We're arriving late Sept 25 and plan to head home the 30th.

Dang! We're all like ships, passing in the night. Oh well, maybe next time. . .Enjoy your villas, ladies.
