I was at work one day around the time I was turning 30 and it just sort of hit me in the face that I didn't want kids. Started talking to my Dr. about it shortly after that. It is one of those moments I remember like it was yesterday since it is one of those decisions that would shape the rest of my life.

To be fair kids cost far more than just money. I'm not here to shit on people who want kids or have them. Some people have kids, love being parents and are damn good at it, but it isn't for me. I've got a fair amount of nieces and nephews, that's enough.[/quote]

My poor mother still can't understand this. Thinks I'm out of my mind cause I pay close to $6 for a dozen eggs at the farmer's market.

Blows my mind that you get what you pay for seems to apply to everything under the sun except food.
Show me everything you have, puppet of Geppetto.

I wouldn't give him 80 Bitcoins for a 'house in Grimsby'. 80 is way too much - 37 maybe.
