Look out Carlo, I made the 4000 club!!!

[jukief]

you can be mine!!!!

OW!!! That hurts! I'm not THAT old. LOL

I have this bad habit of wanting to mother everyone, though. Just ask Deron.

[Norm]

I only had one grandparent growing up because my mom lost both her parents by the time she was 13 and my dad's father died when he was 14. My one remaining grandparent died 26 years ago, so I haven't had a grandparent for many, many years. My parents are 75 and 74 now and still doing pretty good, but it's only a matter of time until they're gone and I become the oldest generation. That's a really weird feeling. It's just life, and it happens to everyone. But sometimes I look at my parents and am shocked at how old they look. Then I look in the mirror and am shocked at how old *I* look! Then I look at my 30-year-old son, and I KNOW I'm old! I'm not a grandmother yet, though...

Julie, I have 3 grandkids, I love them to death. Trust me they make you feel young so its great to have them. I didn't used to think that way, but they changed my mind. You'll enjoy them when you get them.

that would be awsome. then you could go for a ride as long as you ended up someplace with wireless so you could check in.

there are drawbacks about working from home...first, your always home and there is a need for human intervention.

I know, Norm. I'm dying to have grandchildren, and my kids are more than old enough to give me some (my sons are 30 and 27). But I don't think it's going to happen. Things could change, but I'd be really, REALLY surprised if either son ever had children. I try not to think about it or I get really sad. Maybe things will change, but in the meantime I have to live vicariously through my friends who have grandchildren.

My little sister had her first child not quite six years ago, after being married almost 20 years. There's such a huge age difference between our children that I've always felt more like a grandmother than an aunt to her little boy. I'm absolutely nuts about him. But two years ago she and her husband moved to England, so now I don't get to see him very often.

Poor me.


OK. I'll stop with the pity party now.

Well, thanks, Dave.

and don't forget, when they are someone else's kids you can spoil them and send them back when you get tired of them.

have you ever seen a thread that didn't go all over the place?

I work from home. Right now, an hour after I started "working," I'm sitting in bed under the warm covers with my laptop. That aspect of it is really great. But Dave's right. You *do* miss the human interaction. Maybe that's why we both post during the day when we're supposed to be working.

Looks like Deron has used this thread alone to sneak by me. Dangit.

I'll leave the first part alone but the second; you don't consider this better? no one around stabing you in the back at the office.
