Noticed you posting. Love the name! I see you haven't done an intro thread, so I just wanted to say welcome to Hatrack, and I'm glad you're here. And if you'd care to tell a little about yourself, I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. :waitspatiently:

she's been hanging out in chat lately and has complained a lot about hatrack's forum software. i'll let her introduce herself though. i've been around long enough that she knows about the diversity here so i wouldn't worry about kwea scaring her off.

Thanks for the welcome. I am a she and I am gnixing's wife. We have a 2 year old daughter and we are going to have another one. The due date is New Year's Eve. As for my name it's kind of a play on what my real name is. And it works because I can use it without worrying about someone else having it. Like gnixing said I complain about the software, but that's more because I want things to work the way I think they should, than how things really work. What else would you like to know? Ask away.

You're going to give birth to a 2 year old daughter? What happened to the good old days when people only gave birth to newborns?

the problem with a new year's baby is that it has to happen naturally. you can't induce the baby.
we have thought about it though. it's a tough decision.. go for the tax relief of an extra child, or hope for the benefits of the new year's baby, and risk missing out on both benefits...

Nice to meet you, and thanks for indulging me. New Year's Eve is quite the due date... at least they'd always have a cool party!

Very true on the party. Just to clear things up we are expecting our second daughter who will be a newborn, not giving birth to a 2 year old. Posts: 747 | Registered: Aug 2004

When I get married, my wife is going to give birth to a twenty-three-year-old. Easier to raise.
And let me just say, "whiskysunrise" is the coolest name ever. That would be a great name for a heart-wrenching dramatic movie. Or a country music album.
Edit: *remembers the Eagles song "Tequila Sunrise" and suddenly thinks there might be copyright issues in trying to make a movie or album called "Whisky Sunrise". Never mind. I'm not all here tonight.

First I have to find the lady in question. But you have a point; I should make that one of the questions during the screening process for potential mates.
"Do you smoke? No? Excellent. What about children? Do you like children? Do you like twenty-three-year-olds? I might as well tell you now, at some point, probably one to two and a half years into our marriage, I intend to impregnate you with a twenty-three-year-old. How would you feel about this?"

What's wrong with screening potential mates? You don't want me to just marry the first person that comes along, do you?

Not at all. But most people call it "dating," and allow themselves to discover important things about a potential mate through conversation, rather than sitting down with a checklist.
Not sayin' your way wouldn't be more effective. Just a tad unusual.

It was also rather tongue-in-cheek. But hey, I'm not getting any younger here. Dating takes a lot of time. . . .

Interesting. I wouldn't consider dating and going down a (mental) checklist mutually exclusive . . . *shrug*

*cough* Well, by mental I mean that I wouldn't ask someone to fill out a written questionnaire . . . not that I wouldn't ask a series of pre-decided (in a general sense) questions.

Um, hmmm, I read this as "along with." Didn't know Verily was so avant garde in the social way. Posts: 2919 | Registered: Aug 2004

Hey whiskysunrise! You sort of know me, so I won't bother to introduce myself. Welcome to Hatrack. Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

No, no, no. I don't mean I'll use the help of a 23-year-old. I mean I'm going to actually inject a 23-year-old into her womb. Which, when you really think about it, would be a lot more painful for me than for her. But I think being freed from two decades of raising a liquid-leaking bundle of selfishness into a responsible, civilized adult would make it all worthwhile. It's just so much easier if they're a responsible, civilized adult to begin with.

I'm having a hard time believing you would be able to find a women who would let you inpregnate her with a 23 year old.

On the other hand, if you had already been in there for 23 years, it might be kind of difficult to convince you to leave the womb.

Well, if you've been in there that long, you would have to be pretty darn small not to still fit.

I think when they are born at 23, they still act like a newborn.
Look, the diaper changes are going to be seriously more difficult, and, ah, not to put too fine a point on it, a lot more to handle.

While I would put in a vote for somehow skipping the teenage years I wouldn't for a minute advocate bypassing the toddler stage. My most memorable times with our daughter were generated in that time frame.

I wouldn't want to miss anything that my 2 year old does. She is so fun to watch as she learns new things. Hearing her laugh is wonderful!

the funny thing here is... you are newer than she is and she never welcomed you anywhere... >_>

Yeah, but I have nephews for that, and a niece currently in the "elementary school" stage. (She's nine.) So I can be around them once every week or two and enjoy their cuteness, then I don't have to put up with their bratiness the rest of the time. So I don't need my own offspring to experience that stage. Posts: 1814 | Registered: Jul 2004
