Well Bruno, you made a statement and wanted no discussion.

Are you sorry your your mum and dad didn't feel the same way?

And only my child would shoot a double biceps pose at a wedding rehearsal dinner.

No Abu al Banat issues for you eh, Kevin?

If you agree to those conditions, she will never try to convince you to have kids. She realizes that it is a steep price to pay, but she wants me to remind you that she can be very convincing.

























What a face.....
When I am older I will need to sell my cape house and my primary house so that I can buy my place in Florida when I retire and I want to live on the inter coastal but then after I kick the bucket we can talk. btw she can do better than my sub.

Dude - she started with the Everose Daytona, I had to talk her down to the Sub. Don't shoot yourself in the foot!

Thank you, Jim. I'll tell her you said so. Some little girls want to grow up and be a Disney Princess and she went through that straight to Sarah Connor. Well, she does keep me young.

When you're the little boy raised by she-wolves, you get used to having a bunch of women telling you what to do.

Let nobody accuse you of not knowing which side your bread's buttered on, Kevin!

My two cents is this:

My wife and I have two boys, 7 months and 22 months. They have changed our lives. We decided to have children after being together for 7 years. I established my career, we traveled, partied, made friends, etc. That chapter was written.

When we had our first son and then our second, that new chapter had begun. Nothing could make me think that having these beautiful children wasnt the greatest thing to ever happen to us. In a way it took the focus off of the individual and refocused it to our new family. We do everything as a group now. I feel no loss that things arent " what they used to be" Because really, what is what it used to be?

Had we not had children, I personally, would be looking back with a feeling of hollowness.

The late Payne Stewart, owner of the most perfect golf swing (IMHO) told Phil Mickleson, at the time an expectant father, the roar of the crowd at the US open Payne had just won that the roar and victory was nothing compared to being a father- I agree.

But hey Bruno. It is you and your wife's choice and should be respected.

Kind of like religion. You always respect others religion you them to respect yours.
