I don't think there is ever a perfect time. 

Coming from the point of view of someone who had difficulty conceiving in her 20s, I say the sooner the better - with the qualifiers that you should be in a stable relationship and be able to support yourself and the child(ren). 

I did not leave my job to stay home with my girls.  That was never something I wanted.

I wanted to have my kids back to back, as close as possible.  They are over 3 years apart due to fertility issues.  I wish they were closer in age, but I guess it remains to be seen how that gap will work out.  From my perspective, it was really hard to go back to dealing with an infant after my first was already so independent.

She was basically totally disgusted.

She says " God made you that way and you shouldn't change it" blah blah freaking blah.

Did you ask her if she's ever colored her hair? or worn makup? cause that would be changing the way god made you.

 

 Ask her if she had her sons forcibly circumcised?  Changing "the way God made them" against their will.  Fun stuff.

Interesting Julie... ummmmm why?!?! :-/

 Well, mainly because my parents wouldn't be in town to deal with taking the trees down after the new year and so they started disposing of them before they left.  And, if we are going to have a fire anyway...

An important note:  If you happen not to have any implements of destruction with which to chop up your tree, DO NOT try to edge your tree into the fire place a little bit at a time.  It doesn't work that way. 

Not that I've ever tried it and singed the stockings hanging from the mantel before I was able to get a pot of water from the kitchen and douse the tree to put it out.    I would never do such a silly thing.

Ours is set at 69 degrees. We have heated water in the floors and it is sooo nice to walk on. Stays really comfortable.

 I'm jealous of your ambient heat.  I've always wanted that.  At least in the bathrooms.

Our high is +77º F here in sunny Florida : )  Will be like that for the rest of week - although it really isn't "sunny" right now...  Lower 70's is freezing to me!!!

 You must be a bit South of me.  (Not hard since I'm in North Florida)  Our high is in the 50s today and supposed to be back up to the 80s by Christmas.

I get cranky about weather any colder that about 70º F.  That generally only comes up when my husband sets the A/C too low. 

I never wear panties. 

It's become a joke between my husband and I.  I went to meet him for lunch last week.  I was wearing a skirt.  He asked, "Are you wearing panties under there?" and I said, "Of course not!  What kind of girl do you think I am?"

Honestly, the "drooling" is reduced when you don't wear panties.  I think maybe it's a function of the air flow.  I don't know.  Also, some women naturally excrete less than others.  And some women don't have a strong scent we need to mask behind an extra layer of cotton.

Wearing panties to bed is just plain bizarre.  I can understand wearing a bra to bed, but I'd rather wear a tank top with a shelf in it so that the girls are not overly restricted, just held in one general area.

Debit.

Try out the equipment once or twice:  Absolutely.

Date:  Maybe.

No, sneaking around on her is not the kind thing to do.

I think you should get into therapy.

And I'm restraining myself from giving you hell about the stretch marks comment.  I'll just sit here telling myself that if you were still "in love" with her, such things wouldn't matter much at all.

Ahhh your not being rude! maturity is a factor....i agree.  Hence why i dont want to bring it up quite yet as im not mature enough and either is he. (i like the honesty!!!)

I do feel like i can talk to him about alot of things as he opens up to me alot more than he does anyone else. Obviously im not going to take it any further if we dont agree on the topic but it just has me worried because hes such an amazing guy. we dated since we were 17. hes my best friend, my everything!! and i'm fearfull of losing him. I think its more the fact i fear losing him over something like this than anything else.

 What is "something like this?"  Is it potentially having children some day?  Are you willing to accept the answer if he says to you "Honestly, I don't want to reproduce."  Are you willing to stay with him and remain childless for your entire life?  He may change his mind, but you can't marry him assuming he will.  He might not.

So, is it a dealbreaker?  If it is, you absolutely should lose him over "something like this."  You should look for someone who's goals in life are more in line with yours.

But, you say you yourself are undecided about kids.  And you have a couple years before you walk down the aisle.  So, no need to decide today.  I'd just strongly encourage you to have an open and honest discussion about children prior to saying "I do."

What I was thinking moments ago:

I am so freaking bored.  Hey look, there's that link to Calorie Count.  I wonder what those people have been up to.

Nevermind.  I see you had a DP.

Loved it!

I haven't been able to re-watch all of season 2 yet. 

I'm also a little confused about the Nikki/Tracy connection.  I think it must be Nikki.  Split again.  She had another alter ego at some point in season 2.  A party girl.  I can't remember her name, though.  Remember DL had to go track her down and pull her away from some drug dealer... or something.

Anyway, if it is her, how did she get the new power?

I'm also a little "wtf" about Peter inside Jessie.  So, where is Jessie?  Is he still there, too, but not in control.  And what is Jessie's power?  I guess Peter just absorbed a ton of new and interesting abilities - controlling magnetic fields, flame throwing, (had he already met Elle and gotten her electrical field?).

Sylar won't be locked up for long.  Mama Petrelli!  Shocker.
