What I can't stomach (yet?) is what Stellou pointed out: like if the kid is ugly and rude. Okay, ugly can lah :) but rude? Like the monsters on whom disciplinary efforts seem to fail utterly? Or if the kid is insistently ignorant (as in, refuses to learn any better)? Even if it doesn't enjoy reading, I think I may have a problem already ... <BR/><BR/>Stellou --- I very humble one. No need to work for celebrities. Just nice bosses will do.<BR/><BR/>SilverBullet --- So close already! Email me pictures when baby's out. Don't worry about a crib. Swaddling clothes still work, I think ;)Tymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168089811114758802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1112971837261511072005-04-08T10:50:00.000-04:002005-04-08T10:50:00.000-04:00I know of people even younger than us in the US go...I know of people even younger than us in the US going for IVF and IUI. Quite scary really... But the older you get, the lower the success rate. <BR/><BR/>Baby's going to arrive anytime now... and we still haven't bought him a crib. That and I'm suddenly struck by panic. What do I know about babies? Absolutely nothing. <BR/><BR/>Oh and good on you for finally being able to leave the service.SilverBullethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227489311257317048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1112965443320028652005-04-08T09:04:00.000-04:002005-04-08T09:04:00.000-04:00um, when you said "exactly the kind of person i'd ...um, when you said "exactly the kind of person i'd want to work with," the first thought that <B>lunged</B> into my mind—<BR/><BR/>(i just want to report that my fingers, my hungry fingers, originally typed "that lunched into my mind")<BR/><BR/>—the first thought that lunged into my mind, and i really do mean "lunged," like, with WiLD and mANiC anticipation, was: <I>najip ali???!!! you are lucky!!!</I><BR/><BR/>and then i was like, no, wait, that's me. and then i was like, wait, really?, <I>is</I> that me? and then i thought, oh, maybe, for me, dick lee.<BR/><BR/>but, oh!, now that i am writing this, i think maybe kumar!!!! wah, that would be cool, if you worked with kumar. or tiring. something lah!<BR/><BR/>also, number (b), when you said that you don't want to have a kid because "you never know what you might get and whatever it is, that's what you're stuck with," i wasn't thinking chronically and terminally ill so much as, shts, sekali kid is ugly and rude.stellouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133636407536202635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1112902009362156002005-04-07T15:26:00.000-04:002005-04-07T15:26:00.000-04:00I'm with you on reason #531.

I can't imagine being in their shoes.cour marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115699859892050414noreply@blogger.com
