Well, he could be an OINK too (one income no kids) which he what he is now. I haven't minded that at times. Doing my "own thing" is totally groovy, and without FWB (lol), life can be pretty uncomplicated.

We're DINKS & while the previously mentioned perks of not having kids are great, the biggest single factor for this decision was (drumroll)............................ I have absolutely no interest in raising kids, never have, never will. The wife feels the same.

Agreed! We love the idea of traveling too though and will have the money to do it since we don't have kids. We do have 3 fabulous kitties though.

Once again, TVSG doesn't continue to post on a thread he started. One post apart from starting the thread? Have to say, Grasshopper, that you are seriously sinking. Sigh ...

You seemed to have missed out on the spelling gene though but I have taken on the responsibility to inform you that you bury someone when they die, you don't burry them. That concludes today's lesson.

Burry? What, do you think people will hurry or wurry ---- oops

Your genes, while you might consider them outstanding, mean little to the next generation. They could be recessive, they could mix with some oddball configuration in the next generation and spawn a mutant. And, since genes are rarely paid any mind by people (one sees plenty of people with bad genes who reproduce, knowing that their offspring have a greater than normal chance at inheriting defects or potentials for disease) do you think that improves your chances at finding a mate with a similar rack of DNA with whom you will spawn? Do you approach the opposite sex with a ready line: "hey, I have a fantastic set of genes! wanna make a baby?"
