* a tool found in a man's garage or shed (or sometimes in the kitchen to deliberately annoy the wife).
PS: I don't need a magnifying glass it's big enough to see.

I've just seen this thread....
I am 31 and the OH is 33 and we currently have no children. I am not sure if all is in working order after having 2 ovarian surgeries when younger but I do plan to have children and hope to start trying in 2007/2008.
I have always wanted children and the thought of not having them makes me very sad. I worship my niece and I know I shall worship my nephew who I have yet to meet. (roll on Nov)
I respect people's decisions - some people want children, others do not. Each to their own.

Children/No Children. This is a subject you get
commented on if you want too or not.
We have one son and often (although it is getting
less now, no he is 5 and I am 37, lost cause I guess
)
get asked when the next one is coming. Oh he will
be so lonely all by himself. What are you doing to him.
Before we got our son my in laws used to say when we
went on a holiday. OK, so this year again no grandchildren.
Do you get the picture
.
Some people don't want children, some people don't want them
and get them, some people want them and don't get them and
then you have the part who gets them when they want.
It doesn't matter what you do. And being selfish, aren't we all
a bit selfish whatever we choose
