    He probably thought there was a remote possibility that he might end up with a child like you!

    So he is a pathetic scared little boy. His wife is like his mother/maid. As long as he brings home the paycheck, she will be his maid. There is no sex involved though.

        Thanks! I left the sex part out, because I didn't want to arouse you.

          I get up at 6 am. I walk down the hall and get online, and answer my mail. I help get the kids ready for school. At 8 am, they leave and I bring breakfast down to the PC at lunchtime, I make a sandwich or something, and take 15 minutes to crank my amp and play a couple of songs, current favourites include 'Am I evil', 'Stand up for Rock n Roll', 'Hallowed be thy name', and 'Electric Eye'. I work through to 4:00, although the kids get home at 3:45. I make dinner, help with homework, clean the house, eat with the family, put the kids to bed, read to them, then usually come back to the PC to do some more work. Around 10, I go to bed and more often than not, make love to my wife before reading a few chapters of a book, and going to sleep It's normal, because it's what I am used to. And it differs from your life in at least three ways 1 - I earn decent money during my day 2 - I only cook food that I or my family will eat, and 3 - I have sex

                    I wake up at around 9, sometimes check email, or just go straight to work. Yesterday I had a surprise when my clutch cable snapped, and I ran out of petrol riding around looking for a new cable. X| When I get to work I grab coffee and breakfast cereal, except Fridays when we eat breakfast out. While I eat I review work emails and read CP and a local dev forum. Then I open my bug list and start working through it, have lunch, then carry on the same, until about 7pm. Then either I go home and do private work, until midnight, or I stop and drink three or four pints before going home and talking shit on CP until midnight. ;P

                                Yikes! I just listened to both 'Am I evil' and 'Electric Eye' on the way to work today. Hmmm so I guess I am somewhat normal, however my wife would disagree.

                                  Normal is a myth. You first need an agreed upon baseline by which to compare others against. So the real question I think is: what baseline constitutes normal that we judge all other experiences by? And why is that baseline considered normal? Its completely subjective. Is it Ozzie and Harriet and the Leave it to Beaver crowd? Is it the hedonistic Free-spirit crowd? Is it the ...

                                      Wake up, get something to drink, smoke weed smoke a cig, go back to sleep, wake up, get something to drink, get on my computer for a minute, go back to sleep, wake up, get dressed, get something to drink, smoke a cig, smoke weed, eat something, get on my computer, go to work and smoke a cig along the way, do my work, come home blah blah blah. Its normal because *I* do it, and what I do is normal.

                                        Who would have thought initially that this thread would contain Rush lyrics? Great song by the way. :)

                                          Explain to me your daily routine and the surprises that happen along the way and explain why they are normal in detail.

                                          A surface normal, or simply normal, to a flat surface is a vector which is perpendicular to that surface. A normal to a non-flat surface at a point P on the surface is a vector perpendicular to the tangent plane to that surface at P. The word "normal" is also used as an adjective: a line normal to a plane, the normal component of a force, the normal vector, etc. The concept of normality generalizes to orthogonality.

                                          Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall
