I got my birth certificate today

Good for you, man. Step 1 accomplished.

:clap: I had to get a new copy of mine about 10 years ago because my father lost the original.

Strangely enough I have only had to use it twice since then.

No idea what you've gotten yours for but I hope it's something grand.

Now I can get an ID card

that's the reason I had to get mine as well.

I needed it for air travel.

so here's a quick rundown of my day.



and I still have to do the laundry :banghead:

I just sat beside my wife and supported her as she labored for ten hours to give birth to our seventh child. She is my hero; she is wonderful, beautiful, and brave! I'm on the train home and knackered.

Congratulations! Boy or girl?

Cheers!! Boy. Our only one...

Wow, seven kids man! You have my grandparents beat by one child. I can't believe you had six daughters before a boy, that's oddly interesting.

My grandparents are still in the lead by one, and they have an equal number of boys and girls (I figure there have to be some long odds on that last one.) Catholics, huh? Can't keep 'em down.

But mordwyr's still young (maybe). Just two more.

Hell, just make it an even 10. You might as well if you already have more than 6 kids.

Catholics though, they really just can't keep that door shut, even if they tried. Although I've met a protestant chick that did not abide by her parents rules whatsoever. She was an anarchist, and suffice to say she loved sex. I dugged the hell out of her.

I do love the Catholic doctrine that all you have to do to be saved is to accept Jesus as your savior, whereas Protestants require good behavior as well. Even devout Catholics can throw down when it's time to party. Just be sure to say your Ave Marias the next day.

I was one time asked if I was catholic and I said yes and she then proceeded to ask if I accepted Jesus as my savior and I said "yeah, i'm working on that". The look on her face, priceless.

Management just passed a rule that we can't use our personal music devices (even with one earbud) during our maintenance before the store opens.

This really blows.

So dumb... was someone abusing an iphone or something and just fucking off instead of working?

I ****ing hate supermarkets. I went into Food Lion about thirty minutes ago to use the Coinstar (exchanges pocket change for a voucher you can redeem at the cashier) to turn a ****load of pennies into real money. With voucher in hand I get into the only lane open, and there was a woman in front of me who I shall henceforth refer to as Snaggletooth Brokeass.

Snaggletooth Brokeass was the only other person in line, and she didn't have too much in her cart, so I'm like "All right, this won't take that long." But of course, she only had money for about half of her groceries. The next ten or fifteen minutes was her removing stuff from the counter, seeing how much that took off from her total, removing more stuff, putting stuff back on, removing yet more stuff, etc, etc, etc.

I don't know who probably hated Snaggletooth Brokeass more: the cashier, for having to deal with such a moron, or myself, for having to wait so ****ing long in line just for $1.27, but I do know that it's a very good thing neither of us had a gun.

You went to the supermarket to achieve the grand total of $1.27?

whos the real snaggletooth brokeass in that story??

lol we technically aren't allowed to use them either for 'safety' reasons cause there are forklifts and **** driving around. but i work unloading trucks so the majority of my time is spent inside the back of a trailer by myself where a forklift would really have to go out of its way to hit me. so i basically just take it off whenever i leave the trailer.

the supervisors see me and they basically just say don't let certain other people see me. basically in so many words they are saying we don't really give a **** that you're breaking the rules but if you get caught we will have to throw you under the bus.

it's funny to me how so many corporate rules are not really observed in the workplace and actually exist just as a shield against liability in the case of any accidents.

What else was I gonna do with a big pile 'o pennies?

My toothses are perfectly fine, and I at least have the self-respect not to hold up a line while broadcasting to all the world just how broke I am. If that was me, I'd have just taken off as much as I needed to, paid with my head held down in shame, and scurried off to my car as fast as I could, making eye contact with no one.

Wait... you have a car? They let you drive?

...and why is vaseline so cheap?

Why would I buy vaseline? I'm perfectly fine making a dry run... if you know what I mean.

dawg why do you keep pennies in the first place

The fact that we don't have pennies makes us obviously superior to the Americans.

I know, right. I was surprised we had three girls in a row, but when the fourth one came along, I just thought I could only make girls. So when the fifth and sixth were girls, I wasn't at all surprised. Imagine my shock when the doctor told us we were going to have a boy. Things kinda clicked in my mind, and I saw my shared life with my wife as a storybook, where we have this idyllic family (which we do) and then along comes a seventh (numinous) child, and it's a son. Amazing!

This is the last child for us, though, since my darling's labor was so hard. She's 40 after all. Everyone assumed I was crying because I was happy about the imminent birth of our child, but in fact, I was sad to see my darling suffering so much. She is, indeed, the most wonderful woman in the world!

Between 6 sisters and your wife you are going to have your job cut out for you in making sure your boy doesn't get too swept up in too much girl stuff!

I grew up in a house as the only dude with two adult woman and 3 girls. It was rough at times.

Nonsense! There is literally no such thing.

Glad to know I wasn't the only person who read that and my eyes immediately rolled so far back in my head that I doubted they'd return.

My dad knew a guy who grew up with five sisters. Apparently, he knows everything about women -- basically plays upon them like stringed instruments. Sisters do have some advantages.

I've always found the company of women much preferable to that of men. Being around guys usually makes me feel tense and uncomfortable even if I think they're really cool.

:clap: same.

there are a few guys that I don't mind but I always feel sort of threatened by men as a whole (and usually disgusted by their behavior) but the compliments I give women are literally endless.

when was the last time anyone saw a man who was so well-dressed that you just had to tell them that they look fabulous and you hope they have a great day?

never?

yeah.

I love women! Just saying it can be tough for an toddler in some circumstances. It was for me. Not saying it will be for mordwyr. It was more of a jest comment. I hope he sees it as such.

I'll make sure he doesn't end up banging dudes in the butt someday ;)

You just nailed it. :) Soooo many advantages...

Of course I saw it as a joke. No worries. Other people on this forum joke around about almost everything all the time, but when their sacred cow of homosexuality comes up, they get their feathers ruffled. Everyone's a hypocrite and full of shit. I love it! Restores my lack of faith in humanity.

But if he does, it's alright. Let's all just keep that in mind.

I was gonna write a witty snarky comment followed by a big ol' diatribe about how stupid of a joke that was but LiLs beat me to it. Damn.

No, I just have the best man in the world, and you inspire me to be a better woman for you.

And our new little son is beautiful!

I'll rush down to Tokyo after work to see you!!

Get a room you two

Cheers for that, but no pics of kids on the internet.
