This is a long one, so please bear with me.

I just read the other replies, I really like what Sherlock said, he knows about marriage and the Peace Corp too it sounds like. Good advice about no ultimatums, everything can be discussed at all times. I wouldn't give up on children if I wanted them. My wife wanted to quit having kids way before I did, a nurse even kicked me out of the hospital when we were having the fourth one and she was telling them to tie her tubes and I said "only if this one's a boy".... that didn't go over well. Her fifth child is my son Ben, ha!

Decided he didn't want kids after the marriage? Yup I'd "accidentally" get preggers. I hate marriage counselors that tell you to get a divorce. I don't think any marriage is perfect, they all need work. A lot of work.

Man.

Everyone I know that has been to Hawaii absolutely loved it. It's a paradise for sure, lots of money floating around too. I'm exactly the opposite. I've lived in two cities my whole life. Same house for 18 years growing up, and after skipping around in apartments down south I've lived in the last two houses I've owned for over 30 years. 16 in one, and 16 in the house I live in now. Moved every six months to a year around Nashville when I was a kid but finally settled down at about 25. I still google my parent's old house and look at the street view every once in a while just to feel like I'm 12 for a while.

I have been ill for over a week now.

It's now just occuring to me that the only times I got the flu I was little and I was visiting my grandma who lived on a farm and had chickens, and pigs, and cows, and sheep... hmm. And for a long time I thought she was secretly poisoning me.

So are you better? I've actually had the flu and it's no joke. Two weeks of projectile vomiting and diarrhea and a temperature around 103 or 104 until you get so dehydrated you start hallucinating. It will kill elderly or weak people. Most of what people call the flu is just them not taking care of themselves when they get a common cold and runny nose and try to work until they have pneumonia. Hope you're better. And yeah the only time I did have the flu was when I was little and I had a flu shot... so there's that.

I am curious if any of you guys who aren't American follow USA politics, and if you like our president?

I was watching him today and he was talking about how Harley-Davidson was going bankrupt because other countries charged them like $5000 import tax and he was going to do the same thing to Japan to import a motorcycle and see how everyone liked it. He was sick and tired of America being Mr. Nice Guy and taking it up the butt from all the other countries. I had to stand up and cheer. He says what I want to hear, I wish he would do more of it. BUILD THE WALL!

Questions for guys - Are you happier being with your wife/gf or your group of bros??

I like that I can say naughty things and Sherlock gets held up quoting me.. hah. And really I think it is all a matter of who you spend most of your time with. Now that I am married it's like a vacation to be out with the boys. When I was sharing an apartment with a guy and running with a bunch of outlaws it was waaaay more enjoyable to spend a weekend with a pretty girl that was clean and smelled nice and had manners.

My grandfather died last week because he needed a transfusion and no one knew his blood type.

I've never seen Idiocracy but I feel like I have. My son has seen it and we work together so we are around each other all the time. Anyway, almost every day we see something that reminds him of a scene in the movie and so he goes into great detail describing the scene and how it ties in to what is going on around us... so apparently we really are becoming an idiocracy.

It only makes sense though. I mean for tens of thousands of years we evolved because the smartest, strongest people survived and had the most children because they were able to feed them and care for them. So the genes of the smartest, strongest people were passed on and the weak and stupid were killed off or starved.

Now we reward people for being stupid. We take money away from those who succeed and give it to those who don't. If you can't feed your kids you don't stop having kids, the government sends you a check to feed your kids and hey, if you have more kids they give you even more money. So if you want more money you just have more stupid kids and your government check and government subsidized apartment gets bigger. Idiocracy here we come!

I haven’t gotten any cravings to smoke (Day 10 Nicotine free!) but I’ve been told I’m crankier, I have a gross cough that won’t go away, and I’m tired all the time.

@DocteurRalph our stories on how we started are very similar. My best friend smoked and I started at 25. It’s 6 years later now! She quit about 3 years ago.

@Sherlock It’s true - Lung cancer is devastating and should be the face of big tobacco. 😔

The cigarette packets have horrendous pictures on them,some make you feel physically sick.
I'm surprised how people can still smoke when they see those images.

They don't do that in the USofA. I wish they did.
