Yeah, but back then there were also no laws saying 10 year olds couldn't work in factories. Times have changed, KC.

Like sitting on my dad's lap on Hwy 13 and steering that big old Buick mothership? The next Buick had dealer installed seatbelt at the insistence of the now a little bit older safety geek Boxster. Little Boxster by that time was an avid reader of car mags like Motor Trend.

And on the subject of boosters: I was pretty short when 14 with my learners permit and had to sit on a little booster pillow. Needed it see over the dash and hood of that '58 Buick. It was a Golden Gopher stadium cushion of all things to have in NE Iowa. :)
 
Yeah, we are thinking we will shoot for the end of the school year too. Have all summer plus six weeks off.

Combined with the baby fever is the GIRL BABY FEVER. My mother has 3 grandsons and her mom has no grandkids at all. My brother and his wife aren't planning on having any more kids so the pressure's all on me to deliver the pink chosen one.

My mom, mother-in-law, sister, and sister-in-law, are all going to freak out if we have a girl. It will be a pink explosion.

No pressure on me or anything though. Thanks a lot.


If we end up having a boy I'm guessing my gal will want to have more than one baby. YAY! Four kids (at least) in one house!
Four kids in one house works just fine. ;) It seems like 5 is the new 4 around here, although that is one trend I am not willing to follow.

Good luck with the girl thing in the future, like you said--no pressure. After 4 girls we would still get, "Are you going to try for a boy? " Nope.
 
Everything R Lee Ermy says in that movie is gold.


Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any ******* effort to get to the top of the ******* obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your *** up there by now, wouldn't he?
Does anyone remember what Private Pyle's name actually was?

My brother went to basic with a guy named Sergeant. You know their DI did not allow him to be called Private Sergeant.

Did 13 have those curbs on the side of the narrow stretch of pavement then that would kick you back toward oncoming traffic if you got too wide?
 
My parents are pretty old. My mom was born in 1950 and my dad born in 1944. I'm the youngest of three kids.

My fiance's GRANDFATHER is just a couple years older than my dad. She's the oldest sibling.
 
PEOPLE!!!!! MY AGE DOES NOT BOTHER ME AT ALL!!! I'VE EARNED EVERY WRINKLE.

MY BODY SHAPE (WHILE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT FROM 15 YEARS AGO) IS SOMETHING I HAVE COME TO TERMS WITH.

I have no problem with y'all teasing me about that - we have a "relationship" of sorts. By now you should know what really gets me riled. Age and size are two that don't! :)

You mention the attractiveness of her granddaughter though, and she's coming at you with the fire of a thousand suns. Trust me boys, don't play that card.
