Noticed you posting. Love the name! I see you haven't done an intro thread, so I just wanted to say welcome to Hatrack, and I'm glad you're here. And if you'd care to tell a little about yourself, I'm a sucker for that sort of thing. :waitspatiently:

Sssshh, Kwea, don't scare him/her off.
Edit: Plus if you're going to post on my welcome thread, you could at least have the courtesy to say hello to the honoree.

she's been hanging out in chat lately and has complained a lot about hatrack's forum software. i'll let her introduce herself though. i've been around long enough that she knows about the diversity here so i wouldn't worry about kwea scaring her off.

Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
Thanks for the welcome. I am a she and I am gnixing's wife. We have a 2 year old daughter and we are going to have another one. The due date is New Year's Eve. As for my name it's kind of a play on what my real name is. And it works because I can use it without worrying about someone else having it. Like gnixing said I complain about the software, but that's more because I want things to work the way I think they should, than how things really work. What else would you like to know? Ask away. Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
Well, if you want i could try to....
Although I can't for the hell of it figure out why i would want to do that.
As if ELJay hitting on her wouldn't do that all by itself...
I know I'd run from it... Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
You're due on New Years Eve? I think you should try for the first New Years Day baby of 2005...how cool would THAT be?
Nice to meet you! Welcome to Hatrack.
Don't worry about ELJay, she hits on ALL the newbies..

You're going to give birth to a 2 year old daughter? What happened to the good old days when people only gave birth to newborns?
Posted by gnixing (Member # 768) on :
the problem with a new year's baby is that it has to happen naturally. you can't induce the baby.
we have thought about it though. it's a tough decision.. go for the tax relief of an extra child, or hope for the benefits of the new year's baby, and risk missing out on both benefits...
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Nice to meet you, and thanks for indulging me. New Year's Eve is quite the due date... at least they'd always have a cool party!
Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
Very true on the party. Just to clear things up we are expecting our second daughter who will be a newborn, not giving birth to a 2 year old. Posted by gnixing (Member # 768) on :

goat... didn't you know that kids aren't as much fun as newborns as they are at 2?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Glad you cleared that up. I, for one, was certainly confused. Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
When I get married, my wife is going to give birth to a twenty-three-year-old. Easier to raise.
And let me just say, "whiskysunrise" is the coolest name ever. That would be a great name for a heart-wrenching dramatic movie. Or a country music album.
Edit: *remembers the Eagles song "Tequila Sunrise" and suddenly thinks there might be copyright issues in trying to make a movie or album called "Whisky Sunrise". Never mind. I'm not all here tonight.

Your pour future wife. That I think would hurt.
Posted by gnixing (Member # 768) on :
i must take credit for the name. Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Verily, have you cleared this with the lady in question yet? Might be a good idea.
Posted by tt&t (Member # 5600) on :
Hey Whisky. Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
Hi Kylie. Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
First I have to find the lady in question. But you have a point; I should make that one of the questions during the screening process for potential mates.
"Do you smoke? No? Excellent. What about children? Do you like children? Do you like twenty-three-year-olds? I might as well tell you now, at some point, probably one to two and a half years into our marriage, I intend to impregnate you with a twenty-three-year-old. How would you feel about this?"

Ouch?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
"Screening process for potential mates..." Goodness, you sound like dkw.
Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
What's wrong with screening potential mates? You don't want me to just marry the first person that comes along, do you?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Not at all. But most people call it "dating," and allow themselves to discover important things about a potential mate through conversation, rather than sitting down with a checklist.
Not sayin' your way wouldn't be more effective. Just a tad unusual.
Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
It was also rather tongue-in-cheek. But hey, I'm not getting any younger here. Dating takes a lot of time. . . .
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Interesting. I wouldn't consider dating and going down a (mental) checklist mutually exclusive . . . *shrug*
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
rivka: I wouldn't either. Didja read his post? That part you had in parenthesis isn't there.
Verily: I figured. But that wouldn't be half so funny, now would it?
G'night all!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*cough* Well, by mental I mean that I wouldn't ask someone to fill out a written questionnaire . . . not that I wouldn't ask a series of pre-decided (in a general sense) questions.

Um, hmmm, I read this as "along with." Didn't know Verily was so avant garde in the social way. Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Hey whiskysunrise! You sort of know me, so I won't bother to introduce myself. Welcome to Hatrack. Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
No, no, no. I don't mean I'll use the help of a 23-year-old. I mean I'm going to actually inject a 23-year-old into her womb. Which, when you really think about it, would be a lot more painful for me than for her. But I think being freed from two decades of raising a liquid-leaking bundle of selfishness into a responsible, civilized adult would make it all worthwhile. It's just so much easier if they're a responsible, civilized adult to begin with.

*visualizes marital bliss in which the man injects a 23-yr-old directly into the woman*
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Obviously, gnixing, you have a much better imagination than I do, as I'm having an extremely hard time picturing that.

I'm having a hard time believing you would be able to find a women who would let you inpregnate her with a 23 year old.

I'm 23. I do not wish to be injected into anyone's uterus, thanks.

On the other hand, if you had already been in there for 23 years, it might be kind of difficult to convince you to leave the womb.
Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
Well, if you've been in there that long, you would have to be pretty darn small not to still fit.
Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :
Ain't no way you're getting me out of here, I have cable TV and EverQuest and PIZZA!
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
I think when they are born at 23, they still act like a newborn.
Look, the diaper changes are going to be seriously more difficult, and, ah, not to put too fine a point on it, a lot more to handle.
Posted by gnixing (Member # 768) on :
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
If you think of the average 23 year old as a civilized adult, thaat tells me that you haven't been to a frat paty lately...

While I would put in a vote for somehow skipping the teenage years I wouldn't for a minute advocate bypassing the toddler stage. My most memorable times with our daughter were generated in that time frame.
Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
I wouldn't want to miss anything that my 2 year old does. She is so fun to watch as she learns new things. Hearing her laugh is wonderful!
Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :
Welcome.
I feel odd saying welcome to place where I'm so new! Posted by gnixing (Member # 768) on :
the funny thing here is... you are newer than she is and she never welcomed you anywhere... >_>

Yeah, but I have nephews for that, and a niece currently in the "elementary school" stage. (She's nine.) So I can be around them once every week or two and enjoy their cuteness, then I don't have to put up with their bratiness the rest of the time. So I don't need my own offspring to experience that stage. Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :
Hi Hi!
Good to have you here Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
Actually to experience it you do. Little kids can grow really quick in a week. You would be missing out on quite a bit.
