  I got to go to the Dallas Ren Faire when I was down.

  The last time I went to one I was 6. It's been awhile. Much like kls, I have always meant to go again, but never did. Hell I even tried out to be an actor when I was in high school, as part of the faire in Minnesota, and got a part, but my parents, good dubs that they were told me it was a bad idea. I agreed. Mostly cuz I didn't have my own car to drive down every weekend. So I had to tell them, thanks, but no thanks.

  It was so much fun tho! It could have possibly been because of all the great people I got to spend the day with, but it really was a blast. Not to mention men in kilts EVERYWHERE!

  Hell yes I have done that before!

  And my sister who is now 34 crams everything that might offend in to boxes and hides it all in the attic. However, one year she drew the line at stuffing the christmas tree in a closet. LOL.

  I mean it is silly. My sister has been out now for over 10 years...she will never go back. But it's all about keeping everyone happy I guess.

  Has anyone here been caught?

  i want to post my picture here, but something holds me back.

  i am not df'd or da'd, and my whole family is in, so i do have something to lose if i am caught being a wt opposer.

  basically, i'm trying to assess the risk factor here.. has anyone been "caught" because of posting their face on this forum?

  I believe Not_Interested's elder dad saw some pics of him here, and confronted him about it.

  I dunno, having never been baptized, and seriously putting my parents to the loyalty test the past couple of years (god love them, they still put up with me) I guess I looked at my risk and knew they already think I am an apostate, and still speak to me, but seeing my picture probably won't turn them on me. However, that's my parents.

  I dunno, like someone else pointed out--what's to gain by posting your picture? If you want to share your picture you can always e-mail it to certain people you feel close with/have talked to. (If you have nudie pictures I'll take those) oh wait! That was wrong so very wrong...I appologize.

  It's your choice, but the fact that you are even slightly concerned about the ramifications of posting your picture leads me to the conclusion, that you probably shouldn't.

  There's a good chance I will never have children

  you know, i have the lingering suspicion i will never have children.

  that's right, no little bradley's or bradettes to worry about.

  here's my logic: i left the dub's two years ago (almost) and am still a couple years away from a degree.

  Sixy--you don't have to worry--I checked my biology text book, there is no way you can be pregnant. Unless...is there something you're trying to tell us?

  about a few days ago i went to hand in my final paper at a university in manhattan.

  i won't go into details about the school because i want to keep it to a certain extent personal.

  there is this professor that is 38years old but he looks like he is 26 years old.

  By the several "bull craps" you inserted in your tale, I agree with bebu in that you already know the answer to this.

  He wants to get physical, you don't. The End. (By the way that's not the only thing that's messed up here-but it is a large enough reason on its own that you shouldn't consider seeing this many anymore.)

  A call to the childfree/childless....

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  any particular reason for such decision?

  i have health fears, so long ago i decided against having children.

  sometimes i feel afraid of growing old alone and lonely, but lately i've realized that having children is no guarantee of any future situation.

  I have health fears, so long ago I decided against having children. Sometimes I feel afraid of growing old alone and lonely, but lately I've realized that having children is no guarantee of any future situation. I've grown accustomed to my peace, quiet and reduced stress level of being childfree.

  A woman I worked for a few years back chose with her husband that they were not going to have children. It was a sore point for her that everyone assumed they couldn't, and the constant badgering with, "But you'd be such good parents". And they were a fun couple and I am sure they could have been great parents, but it was just a choice they decided was not right for them.

  They also said the same thing...having kids is no guarantee that you will avoid being lonely. The only way you can avoid that is to have good friends and solid relationships with others. Breeding doesn't mean anything.

  As of now, I am still young, I don't forsee children in my future. It's just not for me either. I just don't think I have the temperment for it to be a fulltime mom. I see my life playing out with and without children, I kind of feel like I would be happier without them. Of course this gets me labeled as self-ish and immature, but I think it just means I know who I am and that I don't need others...even little genetic like me others, to be happy.
