How honest can you really be? Posted: 1/3/2008 5:55:05 AM
Hey, you might be a really nice human. What you're saying/wanting to advertise is sort of creepy. That isn't meant to cast aspersions on you, it's just a feeling. good luck with that.

Thirty and not married Posted: 1/3/2008 5:00:28 AM
Does this mean I ought to have put notches in my belt or something? Forty, never married? No kids? In some societies, I'd be considered some sort of monster or witch.

to the women over 30 and 'Undecided' on children... Posted: 1/3/2008 3:12:06 AM
It seems like the "undecided" bit has something to do with the donor. This shouldn't need any words...well, there is the possibility of meeting a male human, feeling like you want to be with this male forever, and him not wanting children. On the other hand, there is that chance of having some sort of meeting with someone, love and all that, that is still willing to try to have a kid. Dice.

There's a glut of females in Newfoundland. Way, way too many. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a darned single female in Newfoundland. It makes me sick. They're all young and cute. Yuck. All the good men are either married or related to me.

finishing your family before 35?? Posted: 1/3/2008 2:57:04 AM
Hello, everyone. I'm not that familiar with this particular cyber "family" but I (being thus) felt the need to contribute. My mother had me when she was 44 years old. I still hold out hope that I might get to have a kid. So,...I don't see a problem or a conflict. Children of older parents often benefit from the wisdom they provide, even if they can't run around and tackle you or throw a ball as hard as a younger parent. Older parents know things, have been through traumas, and have a solid foundation that younger parents just can't know. Granted, there is often more grief involved, in these later years, and lots of mixed feelings with the experiences involving the non-happy aging of a vital human. Before the days of decent medicine, these things were faced by young'uns at an earlier age. It's nothing out-of-bounds in the normal course of the human (and unfortunately sentient) condition. In our spoiled, self-centered, industrialized, indeed, service-oriented, youth-oriented society, it's a wonder that anyone even speaks to anyone over the age of 40...after all, weren't we all told, "Never trust anyone over 30"? Hugs to all,

So where were YOU when man first walked on the moon? Posted: 12/15/2007 9:21:00 AM
I was playing with my toys...Dad grabbed me up and sat me in front of the TV. He said, "This might be the most important thing you'll ever see and gddmnit, you're going to see it." So I watched, and I remembered.

so, why are you still single? Posted: 12/11/2007 3:28:53 AM
This question pops up all the time, when I'm in a social mood and run into strangers. Most of the time, after learning the "not married, no kids" thingy, the next question is, "are you gay/lesbian? Because if you are, I'm cool with that." Ok, so,...I've been chasing my own life for a long time, I've been in and out of fantastic relationships, none of which ended up in the big "M" or the little chillun that that tends to entail. Egads, what the heck is the weirdness here? Does anyone know a clever response to "oh, so you're a lesbian..." ?

Hey, When I was 19, my grandpa asked me, "how old are you now? "19, Grandpa." "Are you going into the convent soon?" "No, Grandpa." (he was a bit harsh and one would never use excess wordage around him) "No man will have you now! You're too old! It's too late for you, go and join the Sisters, if you're smart enough to know what's good for you!" This was 1986. I'm thinking that Grandpa was 91 at that time, if my math is correct. Now I'm 40, never married, no kids. What would he say now? Up home, they call me a "spinster." Sweet. What's next, "hag"? "Crone"?
