Title: Life's Small Pleasures
Post by: mongers on January 20, 2012, 08:37:35 PM
At the moment, if I go and stand outside the house, 35-40 minutes after sunset a couple of hundred geese fly over at about 30 feet in a beautiful arrangement of v-shaped formations. 

Nothing special, ordinary geese have just taken off from the meadows to fly up the valley to rest a night and they're back around elevenses in the morning.  :bowler:



What are yours ?

After a generally crappy morning commute I always take a look out the window as the LRT crosses the North Saskatchewan river valley for a good 30 seconds of natural beauty.

Before going back underground. <_<

What happened to the cat you owned?

I had to ship her off to Milan in my freshman year, because my father was unwilling to keep her around the house without me to care for her. I hope she's well, but who can say? She wouldn't have been allowed in Martin's dorms. Of course, now that there is no house to return to and the dorm is the only home, I am a bit farther from being able to have a cat. It is quite unfortunate.  I miss Ennui very much.

(It should be noted Milan is a town in northwest Tennessee)

He'll crack you up with the most unexpected things.  I was driving my kid home from the babysitter when he was about 2 1/2 years old & I broke my sunglasses trying to bend them back into shape (both lenses popped out & I cursed under my breath about it).  So Tommy immediately says, "Don't worry, Daddy.  We'll get you a new glasses."

don't put it off too long.  I think you're around the same age as me, and I'm already feeling kind of old to be a new dad.  Lots of people the same age as me have kids up to 10 years older, and I'm having to balance in my planning the fact that graduation and retirement will happen at the same time.

And it's only going to get worse when the next one arrives in June. :o

Yeah I'm happy I got the first before 30.

In our circle people seemd to have gotten them either like us, late 20s, or 5-8 years later, and it is those latecomers that suffer the most, and tend to be far more worried about everything.

I think their kids will grow into pampered and bullied little creatures :D

Awh kids :hug:

Looking forward to going down that road.

If I might humbly make a suggestion...

don't put it off too long.  I think you're around the same age as me, and I'm already feeling kind of old to be a new dad.  Lots of people the same age as me have kids up to 10 years older, and I'm having to balance in my planning the fact that graduation and retirement will happen at the same time.

And it's only going to get worse when the next one arrives in June. :o

Meh, having kids at a young age is over rated.  You were poor ten years ago.  Now you can afford to provide in a way you could have not done 10 years ago.

 Hot tea in a thermos- it was raining outside, but the world still seemed warm and beautiful while I had tea under an awning.

I'm 41 and my youngest daughter just turned 16.

I'm 41 and at peace with the realization that I'll never have children.

It's my mother that has the problem.

Can't you just sire a few bastards and send them to live with your mum? :p

A flock of sparrows inhabit a bush close to the back door, so I can see them doing there sparrow stuff from only 2 or 3 feet away; sparrows are my favourite birds. :wub:

Now that I am 30 I am seriously thinking about having children, whereas I never gave it a moment's thought before.   :hmm:

However, I am unmarried and my GF is 22, so even if our relationship did end up being a long term thing, I guess kids wouldn't happen for a while anyway. :huh:

Well then she could have had 5-6 kids already, one per year  :menace:

Any how, its better for her to get them young, health wise, so go right ahead  :cool:

22 is a good age to be pregnant. It isn't as hard on the body then when they're 35.

  We never know when gumption will take us. I found the energy to wake up well over an hour before my first class, so I was able to prepare myself morning tea.

Morning tea is delightful. It'd be worth waking up earlier every day, but the gumption is fickle.

We've got one not too far away, but it's in a shopping center and the parking lot is about the size of a thimble.  I usually don't bother anymore.
