None taken, old man. I consider the source. Plus the advantage of being an old fart must be that you give them the benefit of the doubt. Enjoy the grandson Ofos. May you have plenty more.Originally posted by ofos
Thanks everybody!
My first thought was that my daughter-in-law had given birth to a terrorist.
Better to be an old fart than a sh!thead. No offense intended.
When did I go from Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Congrats! The little I can see looks adorable!
Awesome, ofos! That swaddling blanket must be a universal requirement among hospitals. Both my kids came home in one just like that. Ethan is pretty dang cute. Enjoy!!
The purpose of life is a life of purpose
Congratulations, Grandpa ofos!

Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011
Congrats Ofos!!!!

No problem there. It's a dominant trait that I suspect goes back to at least my gn-grandfather who fought in the American Revolution. In fact, his SA tendencies probably help foment that conflict. Both my sons are gifted in that respect as well.

It's our first Christmas with a baby in the WSU MUP Student household. We're just wrapping up stuff she already owns...
I'm just glad she gets her good lucks from her mother!

Except for the part where your 3, 2, and 1 year old boys are progressively dismantling the tree decorations. We've already had to "redo" the decorations once and much garland has be sacrificed.
If they can do this to their playroom in about one hour:
A small Christmas tree doesn't have much chance.
Though, I really like my boys:
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
This is what I fear for next Christmas... three kids under 3...

I notice that one of the mendelman boys is training to become a plumber.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
At least they make $ as much as planners ?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

holy crap buddy - when do you sleep with all those kids - I hope one of them is your lovely wife at least!
Is that seriously your adorable toe-head family? So cute! 5 kids? Surely that earns you your man card back from the boys? Beautiful family ursus!
Thanks! They are all my toe-headed fambily, yep. None is Mrs. Ursus (there are 6 kids altogether). We got married at 22, My oldest daughter (coming up on 16 in a couple of months) was born when I was 23. So you gotta start early and stay up late.
I never sleep. Well, very little. The laundry alone for 8 people is a full-time gig....
I actually can't see the picture anymore, and can't seem to get it to appear, either. Hmmmm.

Great pic U.

6 kids? Oh my!
Can we get a man card over here for ursus?
Edit: Are lesbians allowed to officially administer man cards? I think we need a poll.

Sadly, it requires more than extraordinary virility and charm to get a man card, TS, but thanks for the vote!
NH Planner, those are some good looking boys. I bet they're fun, they look like they're up for pretty much whatever!
