Nice to meet you too, though i've been following your thread about children on TFO and seen Toffi's threads too.
Lots of hmmm, here, have a biscuit and some custard.
The "hmmm's" are the expressions of my thought process no buscuits, but I'll take the custard, thank you:) about the children thing, yes, I take my motherhood pretty seriously in trying to avoid the unnecessary problems. Toffi's baby tortoises is what has brought me to TFO as I like to do the right thing for our pets and find this place to be extremely beneficial. Not to mention making all kinds of great friends. I love it! This is also something my daughter and I will hopefully share for the years to come. I hope I don't sound like a weirdo. My children are very young and at times I find it difficult trying to keep up with the "spirit of their time" so I try not to miss any opportunities to grab and hold onto anything we can have in common. Especially if it involves animals, plants, nature, music... I know! I'm getting old!

Didn't think it was:) I'm picking up all all kinds of sense of humor here in all kinds of flavors! I like it!
That's the function.
Fun and silliness, kindness and support, all ages, all equal.
The Cold Dark Room is home, when we're not popping out to the intros threads and stuff.

All my family for the love and laughter.

Gosh I'm a bit weepy now.

That is one of the better things about my job! Although I usually have work to do I can do it at home and have some time for myself.
I think I will miss the holidays when I retire.
Yeah and the problem I have is that we always need someone to be 'available' over Christmas. As it happens I'm the only person who doesn't have kids so I work through Christmas then I tell everyone that I am having new year off - it's not a big deal but would be nice to have a week or two off through Christmas and new year :(

Yes it is nice.
I have my Xmas shopping down to a fine art now.
As long as Christmas is slap bang in the middle of the 2 weeks I can get it all done the week before!
I prefer New Year though.

As we all are, but children keep you young!

Some of us are, some of us are.
In the Cold Dark Room we have 13 year olds, older teens and those in their 20's, 30's 40's, 50's and 60's.
It's pretty much all harmless fun.
You don't sound like a weirdo and if you did that would only help in fitting in! ;)
