[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 757256, member: 23727"] 1) Ouch 2) Yup. When Mrs. 200Meters and I (coming up on 31.5 amazing years together...[I]Mmmm[/I]) first started out with the parenting thing, in no way did we, or could we, envision what has, in fact, happened. My brother's daughters are turning out to be the kind of fine young women that he and our Dad are so rightly proud of. And I look at Oldest's and Youngest's peers, at how they're turning out, and I want to either slink back inside and close the windows or take the dawgs on a long walk in some deserted place. I just turned 57 last Saturday (on both the civil & Hebrew calendars; the dates coincide every 19 years). I (tenured civil servant) will have to retire in 10 years. How exciting. Apart from my (altogether blessed) marriage (the center of my universe, the one piece of [I]terra firma[/I] in my existence), what have I got to show for my life? When I come up with an answer I will let you know. [/QUOTE]
