Luckily I know you aren't the type to be holding your breath. If your were you would have dropped from number 2 position due to your death. Good to hear work is good, always better to be busy and otherwise you can start to think retrenchment. Hope kids are fine and rooting is looing more likely. I live in hope as you do. Christian Graus wrote: No, I didn't. Sounds like fun. Hannah lost her first tooth recently, she was beside herself with excitement. It's not too bad, imagine if she was 6 and it was the second tooth she lost. Glad to hear Hanna has started the teething process and is enjoying it. Jeremy should be there soon, 13 more days till 6. I know where you are coming from with 'It's only a baby tooth' line, but believe me it is no relief. Even though she goes on like nothing happened it is smacking me against the wall on a daily basis. My son was in the hospital 3 seperate times to remove small cysts (basically bloacked galnds that went beyond the pimple stage) from his eyelids when he was 2 and 3. I cut the side of his neck with a knife or fork (not sure) when he came running and jumping into his seat (about 4) when I was feeding him dinner. Both kids have fallen over split their heads with blood everywhere and all the other stuff kids like them and me who just go nuts do. But the tooth episode has smacked me down like one of Michael Dunn's WWF wrestlers. I can't explain it.

We're talking about having another, which is always a good way to improve my sex life. Michael Martin wrote: Glad to hear Hanna has started the teething process and is enjoying it. She was the last of her friends to start, and really fretted about it. So she was more than a little excited.

I can only speak for myself, but having a daughter makes me feel far more protective than having a son. I love them both, and am upset when either of them is unwell, but Hannah always affects me more, because she is my girl. Perhaps it's the same for you. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -

I think it's because it is something so permanent. On the whole boy/girl thing, I think I let her get away with a little bit more and I am harder on Jeremy when he fucks up. But I think I am pretty close when it comes to how I react when they achieve something, are good or how I feel about them. I think I would feel just as fucked if Jeremy does something that is permanent or long term in the damage stakes. Though I suppose I am not really objective when looking at my own performance.

Michael Martin wrote: I think it's because it is something so permanent. Yeah, that's fair enough. I am harder on Calvin, but only because Donna isn't and he's getting spoiled. But can she see that ? We have the 'you have two kids' argument quite often. Yes, and I love both enough to teach them how to function in life, which means taking responsibility and being able to do what they are told by an authority figure.
