Oke, serious baby chat on the last page...and an incredibly awesome Dane offspring pic (that kid looks like he will be outsmarting everyone on that page by the time he's 12, or 2) So, I'm going to dump a post about the other end of the human scale. my gran died this week, at 98. I remember she got sick at 90, she thought she was going to die, but she had her first sniffy cold, for the first time Ever in her life. She didn't die of anything in particular, just old age. After her cold, she picked up a couple of things. Diabetes, some heart problems, endless series of urinary infections and pneumonias. I think her antibiotic intake took care of at least 3 of them growing useless on a worldwide scale. But in the end, she was just old and passed. And no-one was crying at her funeral, everyone had great memories and knew the time had long passed to get other good ones. I guess getting born is the most important thing in life, and getting dead at 98 because of nothing is the thing to be aiming for.

Also at 41 I can't crawl around the floor with my kids like I could have at 25. I still do, it just hurts a lot more later. Edit: But I'm still glad we waited. Also not everyone is into having kids and that's ok. If you don't feel like you want them don't have them. Nothing wrong with that.

I guess what is important to understand is that you never will be ready.

Downs Syndrome aside, there are other health risks for a mother after 35. Personally, I have quite bad ligaments and I've been told by a couple doctors that pregnancy would be hard and painful for me, and I'd most certainly spend a lot of time on bed rest. I've had the ligaments in both knees reconstructed (still on medical leave for one), I've had hip surgery, my hips are unstable, and I have tendinitis, bursitis, dysplasia and a labral tear in my dominant shoulder. We haven't decided if we want kids yet, but once I hit 35, that door is closing for me. End of story. My own health problems could be congenital due to the fact that I was conceived when my mom was 40. No one is sure. Also, it's less about being "ready" and more about wanting children. I want to want them. I've never had "baby fever" that everyone talks about, though. I like kids, they are rad. But I've never been like OH MY GOD PUT A BABY IN ME. Paraquat, I'm glad your grandma made it to 98 relatively healthy, and died of old age. I think that is what everyone hopes for. Edit: Where the gently caress did this avatar come from.

I actually enjoy kids like I enjoy dogs, fun to play with so long as someone else does the actual work and poop stuff. My girlfriend insists on this dumbass breed of dog, so the poop stuff is pretty horrid.

Sorry to butt into your personal life in a chat thread in a food sub-forum of a comedy website, but you can't get PM's and your issues sound a LOT like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. As some types can be very very bad (fatal), and there are roughly 506 possible variants, you should probably look into it.

Desert Bus posted:Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Thank you for your concern! I know it does. I talked about it with my surgeon last week. Non of my bloodwork comes back abnormal, so I am debating asking my GP for a genetic test. About 3 different specialists have noted that it appears as though I have Ehlers-Danlos. I fit the physical description pretty well, too - tall, thin, somewhat gangly with long digits. Back on to the topic of food, does anyone else ever tell their animals they are going to be spitted and roasted for dinner when they do bad things?

I have it myself, but with none of the possible fatal symptoms. It's worth looking into, as it causes way more issues than you would ever think, including psych problems. And yes, I often chase my cat around telling her I'm going to eat her. Lucky for her she'd be too fatty and her meat would taste like cat food.

No pets, but I've been contemplating telling my son that when he won't sleep. (SEE HOW I MANAGED TO GET THE FACT THAT I HAVE A BABY IN THERE AGAIN?) Any way, happy weird US-ian holiday day, folks.

How do my teeny little kids take these gigantic toilet clogging shits? They are 4'8" and weigh 90 pounds tops and they leave something that looks like a lumpy 6 d-cell Mag-light flashlight in the can. Then they wipe with 1/3 a roll of poo poo paper and clog the goddamn toilet. This happens so often that I had to get a new plunger. I had the old suction cup plunger. It would not address the gigantic forearm sized turds my kids were squatting out. I bought a hydraulic plunger. You suck shitwater into the huge tube, then blast it through a nozzle fitted to the bottom of the toilet. It's astoundingly efficient in blasting gigantic turds all the way to the septic tank. So, to make things I was thankful for, the girls had to plug the toilet yet again. While plunging the shitter, I get a bit too enthusiastic on my down stroke and blasted poo poo and toilet water all over myself. Parenting is bliss.

Nobody who deals with the reality of poo poo and a regular basis finds that stuff erotic or exotic. Parenting: inoculation against scat fetishes (and likely puke fetishes too)

Ug, my experience at summer camp was this one kid who somehow became "afraid of the bathroom", so he just started making GBS threads his pants, and then dumping in the woods. He was quickly banned from the water front. Steve Yun posted:I do that even when she's being a good dog I don't usually like little dogs, but this is loving adorable.

Sorry for the multiple catch up posts, but I've been working an insane amount.bombhand posted:Hey Squashy how do you feel about dino's ability to be a dick now? Last week, I saw the initial scuffle, and decided to take a little break from GWS. This morning, I saw 150+ new posts, and I was afraid that it went on for that long. Very glad to see we are talking about poo poo again, endless laughs with that one. For the record, Gravity can be an enormous dick sometimes, but he is also one of the better contributors to this forum, so I don't really care. As for Hot Pot, I think one of the sources of confusion is that in the US, we tend to use the term for pretty much any kind of Asian communal soup, including the Japanese variants. I like Chinese Hot Pot, but my favorite is definitely Sukiyaki, the beef and raw egg thing is one of the tastiest things in existence. For reference, here is the recipe I started with: Just Hungry: Classic Sukiyaki, The Quintessential Japanese Beef Hot Pot I usually cover it for 5-10 minutes after dumping in the initial load of veggies, I don't think it's really soup until you've cooked down some veggies in it.

If it was me and I was in a position to, I would cook them then freeze (indefinitely) or refrigerate (3-4 days) them. Just cook them plain and they'll reconstitute into a dal or something fairly readily.

I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time last night at their house for dinner, except apparently it was her entire family, 15 in total, including three sisters and their spouses and kids. I talked about cooking and knives with her mom, and I made chocolate chip cookies to bring and a 12 year old told me that "This is probably the best cookie I've ever eaten." So that was nice.

Someone gave me some homemade moonshine. What the gently caress can I mix it with because it just tastes like 90% ethyl alcohol and 10% sweet corn. Literally, this is first pour stuff and is 180 proof.

50/50 with water to take it to 45%, then something strong-tasting like, say, red bull? Not that I'd advocate vodka/red bull from a taste perspective... but it hides the alcohol well.
