All in all, I have to say DH and I have no regrets about our current lifestyle after this weekend, even if others don't agree.
That's all that matters kiddo!

During that conversation, the wife goes on to tell us about how they had a weekend to themselves the other day and ended up really missing their kids and discussing how empty people's lives are when they don't have childrenI was a little taken aback and hurt by that comment - I really didn't expect her to say something like that. If it hadn't been late by the time we got home, I probably would have logged in to get sympathy from all of you
DH didn't think she meant it quite the way I took it.
B) this couple has been very open about their lack of religious belief. I know a lot of people who would find *their* lives empty because of that lack of religion, so I think it's just more of an example to me about why you shouldn't judge someone else's life from the outside.
Oh, and then Sunday we went with our friends to the Magic Kingdom

Oh, and Hixski - LOVE the Mondavi Fume! One of my coworkers got back from a tour at Mondavi a few weeks ago - she loved it.
I'm not much of a wine type but I do like that gerwurtztraminer and another kind DH bought a couple weeks ago. I don't remember the name. Claret maybe? I'm more of a rum girl lol..to the points my friends call me a pirate.
How very very strange! I posted a reply to this about 20 min ago & it poofed! Let's try this again, shall we?
CAUTION: You are about to be lectured by a professional wine geek!
"Claret" was a term originally used by the English for red wines that came from English holdings in France (I think it was Gascony, but can't remember). Today, it is a generic term for any blended red wine.
If you like gewurz, try to find an Argentinian torrontes (a grape type). They can be tough to find, but DIRT cheap & very similar flavour profile to a gewurz. OK, wine lecture over.
Random thought - What kind of job do some people on the DIS have that allows them to post from work?? I NEED a job like that!!
Where can I find that torrontes online?
I would never use my work computer for non-business purposes like posting on the DIS, of courseRandom thought - What kind of job do some people on the DIS have that allows them to post from work?? I NEED a job like that!!
DH isn't too bad about that. Actually, it's probably more like I'm usually not the type that reads between the lines, so he and I are about evenWHY do guys never think it is as bad as it seemed- DH does the same thing- hello- did you just hear the same thing I did??
Yep, there are definitely advantages to living in Orlando!Now just that right there is fantastic- I just popped on over to the MKlike it is nothing- How great is THAT!

I suppose we shouldn't be judgemental. I've spent a fair amount of time wondering how empty people's lives are when they've lost the ability to discuss anything but their children.![]()
I've come to the conclusion that you "Marrieds choosing not to...",as well as the gay/lesbian crowd, are the only reason I continue to read the boards!I suppose we shouldn't be judgemental.

I'm assured that some normalcy still exists in this world!
Walking on eggshells while bending over with lips puckered...no thanks!
Yes. heaven forbid we say or do something that offends. Why we might actually learn to discuss and tolerate our differences if we weren't so PC.
Imagine that. A society where people actually openly discussed differences and learned true tolerance.
