Marrieds choosing not to have kids

[maddhatir]

Me too, I have nieces aged range from 2yrs upto 14yrs old, when the 14yr old was only 1 month, I thought I would give the baby sitting thing ago for the tiny amount of maternal feeling I had in me those many years ago, however, after an 1hr of the one to one babysitting and the crying of the baby, that was it I phoned my sister to come and collect, I have never been asked again When we have family events and my nieces ask me to play shops with them, I tactfully advise that our shop is closed for stock taking, or if they want to play teacher/pupil then my school is always shut for holidays or teacher training, hense my disney name they call me auntie shazy crueller deville, however I do love animals

I sure did not do it for any maternal reasons!

I just wanted my niece to know me- she was my first. We are still close. I see her and her brother a lot- but not sleep overs.

DH and I were the first ones to take her to Disney, she was 3 and without mommy and daddy! THAT was an experience for child-free couple As soon as she was born I had a Disney fund started b/c I knew I wanted to take her when she was 3.

I HAVE been to Disney with her 3 times, this August will be 4, and she is only 6.

Do you guys ever have kids over?

Hey Everyone, I know it's been along time since I've posted but I have been lurking around.

Just wanted to say that I have two nieces who I spent a lot of time with when they were younger. We had sleepovers for many holidays and we would bake cookies Christmas, decorate the Easter tree, visit a haunted house and then shop for and carve pumpkins, and then I always took them shopping individually for their birthday's. One of my nieces is now 21 and moved out of state with her partner. At Christmastime she emailed me and told me what great memories she had as a child baking cookies and wanted some of the recipes we used to make together. What was truly a warm fuzzy that was from her that made me feel good about those times. My other niece (the sister of the 21 year old) is now 17 and has a boyfriend she spends lots of time with. I will take her shopping for her birthday gift & lunch one last time in November when she turns 18 (that's the cut-off for gifts), but as long as she's nearby I will always take her out for lunch or dinner for her future b-days. I never did it for maternal reasons, it started out as a way to give my brother and sister-in-law a break from them from time to time and grew to really enjoy the time with them. And it was so nice to drop them off at home when the weekend was over!

On a side note to Maddhatir: Johnny Depp has been very pleasant while filming here in Wisconsin. He makes the paper or t.v. regularly because he takes the time to wave & sign autographs for the fans watching the filming. I'm going to hopefully see him when watching some filming while he's in Milwaukee. It's soooo exciting to see the man in person!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Cannot be taught
In turn
You're making us

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

We saw them a couple years ago @ Mohegan Sun in CT.
GREAT SHOW!

Yes, I'll admit it...I'm a child of the 80's. Don't tempt me to dig out my old leg warmers!!!

Madd - I thought of you when I read this.

"In response to a Washington Post column about the Flyers fans that read “women and children could be security for Megedeth,” lead singer Dave Mustaine sent a videotaped message of support. He wore Jason Smith’s sweater. … "

(http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2008042815&prov=ap)

I'm cheering on your Flyers!
DH is still sulking around since the Canadians beat out his Bruins!
Hopefully the Red Sox will get into a nice winning streak & take his mind off the hockey season.

OMG! I love my boys Dave AND Jason!!!! See my Jason in my siggy- the all bloodied up one! I call him my "other" Capt (Capt Jack is my first!)

Dave Mustaine is so cocky I LOVE it!

I am in heaven!!! I have been searching around for the darn Dave clip- but nothing on YouTube!!!!


So wait- what do they mean- the women and children are just all tough and nasty like men?? How DARE they actually some of those women do scare me too!

I read about the "O'Canada" thing- Flyers fans are so obnoxious! THAT does not surprise me in the least! The boo everything and anything- they do not descriminate You can have a disability, roll out in a wheelchair and those people will boo you!

Years ago I was at a Flyers vs Devils game in Philly- it was towards the end of the game and I saw these Flyers fans beating on a poor guy that had a Devils jersey on! It was right in the seats!

Come on! I think it shows some B@lls to even walk into another venue with your team jersey on- leave the guy alone!

I am going to have to go post this on our hockey thread on the CB- have you been over???

I never understood that...
Ultimately we are all hockey fans; even if we are cheering on different teams. I can appriciate another team if they are doing well & I can certainly talk in a civil way to other fans.

Over the years the only time I ever had a problem was @ MSG. I was wearing my Thrashers gear & this guy got in my face... I have to confess he was big & I was scared!!
Nothing happened thank goodness....but I'll never go back there again!!!
We've never had problems at the Garden in Boston... Fans there seem a little more mellow. There is usually some good natured ribbing... but never a problem.

I am going to have to go post this on our hockey thread on the CB- have you been over???

No - I've not ventured over there.... From all the things I've heard about the CB I'm a bit afraid...

If anyone cares ........

I just ordered the new Testament CD "The Formation Of Damnation" I have been listening to some tracks on Sirius b/c they are "celebrating" the release!

And by the sounds of some of the tracks- it sounds like something to celebrate!!!!

So- give dear Corey Taylor a rest and get out there and buy it!

Rock On peeps!
