That is my fault. Whenever I comment on almost any thread, it almost always turns into a Rice thread.. this one was an unintentional hijack. Charlie, get this thread back on track!!

I have every d@mn kid from every person I know that has one. I buy every Girl Scout Cookie, Chocolate Fund raiser, Halloween Haunted House host, X-Mas Card sale, etc. (I don't even eat sweets! Go figure.) I swear ... I'm gonna start a tab ... I think I should get the tax break of having at least one!

We all make choices right? I like being able to return them

Well, I don't have kids either and somtimes I wish I did. We are just not all the same, no need to put a label on it however. Be satisfied and thankful with the life you have.

Anyone else in that boat?
