Just wanted to add something to the discussion about not having kids.

I respect that decision, and am NOT criticizing anyone for it, but....

You don't know real love until you have a child. Having a kid completely blows your mind in the sense that you THOUGHT you knew what love was, because you loved your parents, and you loved your siblings (mostly) and you loved your spouse..... but...

You don't really know the depth of the emotion until you have a child. And it's a wonderful thing, and there aren't enough words in all the languages in the universe to express what it feels like when your child smiles at you and calls you "Dada" (or "Mama") that first time.

Just sayin'

I can respect that. At the same time, if that's what's required? I'll stick with the level of love I have now.
(That, and knowing myself, I'd spend the entire time wanting to name it Shop-Vac or Grievous Error or something.)

Serious moment - no silliness, no smartassedness, nothing of the sort, total honesty? The thought alone is making my skin crawl.
Some people can have that. It's apparent that you've found something better through it, and more power to you.
But for me? Holy frigging crap, NO. NO, NO, NO, A MILLION SHRIEKING TIMES, I'LL TAKE MY VASECTOMY WITH A SONG IN MY BLACKENED HEART NOW PLEASE NO.

Teach me your ways sensei.

We're cynical bastards. If someone asks me what love is? I reply with this.

Love is someone who won't get all "Why the hell did you make me get involved, what's wrong with you, where did that person come from" when you're just trying to enjoy your coffee and pancakes at Denny's after they've helped you bury a body....

Actually, THIS.

End of conversation. CarrionCrow wins. Lets move on. :D
This quote is fine too:

"Seriously, I don't think you quite grasp how much I loathe children. Given three wishes, I'll ask for a puppy, a decent chip sandwich and for every child-bearing womb on the planet to pop out and fly away like a cheery parade of greasy red balloons."

Oh Yahtzee your sharp and offensive cynicism makes me chuckle so.

Hello there, pick up your cane and vicodin prescription and join in the fun.
I'll don my red and green glasses and get my brown noise gun.
