yeah. the problem is always having enough chicken nuggets and top roman and mac'n'cheese and tater tots to last until the end of the month!!

Exactly... x------x If I can't feed a kid, I won't have one. Lol.

I'm sure there's other things you need to worry about with a kid too... I just never think about it. XD I haven't had a gf in a while actually (other than christa, I mean).

well, there is clothes as they keep growing practically over night sometimes. more shoes as they get older and really start thrashing them. socks and underwear ... those always seem to disappear. lots of gloves and hats because they always seem to disappear too. a jacket that fits all spring and fall long. a heavy coat that lasts all winter. bedding lasts so that's not such a worry, but you will have to be doing lots of laundry all of the time. OH! and having enough towels because kids tend to use a lot of them. that's all I can think of right now.

Oh my gawd, you're right... I could NEVER afford clothes for a kid. D:
I haven't bought myself clothes in 4 yrs... Practically, all of my clothes are presents. Lol.

*eye twitch* I HATE laundry... Gah, maybe I'd make a bad daddy. T____T

xD I never buy clothes for myself. I don't get an allowance and I don't have a job. And even if I did, I've got better things to buy. Most of my clothes when I was younger were sent to me by my relatives in Korea. The rest, my parents bought in thrift stores. I never understood why one would want to pay a hundred dollars for a pair of jeans when you could get one that looked just like it for five. o3o;

yeah, that is what folks get, other friends and relatives giving you hand-me-downs or flat out buying stuff for your kid, and there are thrift stores were a bunch of it still looks new. sales and the like.

Same here, Anna... All my money goes to food & rent.... I'm too poor to afford luxuries (sad but true...). D:

Wow, thats super nice of your Korean relatives. ^^
Many of my rich Italian relatives send me stuff... Cuz they know I'm poor. Lol.
They usually send me yummy chocolates. x3
All the clothes I have bought are from thrift stores. haha.

Yep, I love thrift stores, crazy. XD

my mother is an insane thrift store addict! all you have to do is mantion something you need or want in passing and she will hunt it down someplace for uber cheap and get it for you. it make take forever and a day, but she'll get it done.

Hahah, thats funny crazy, because my mom is the EXACT same way, but about garage sales... She loves going around to garage sales cuz she feels like she "gets a deal" on garbage. XD I tell her to stop but shes an addict. Lol.

my mom has to work on weekends and can't do that. and it's absolute torture for her! she only gets Tuesday and Wednesday off.

*nod* Wow, your poor mom, crazy... That must be hard. How old is she?
I want to retire by my 40's. Lol.

she is 54 I think. I'd have to look at the calender. actually, ages now aren't like they used to be on people. being 50 now is like being 40 and such. it's all from living longer and being more careful with our bodies and health.

HELLO
how are you Crazy
how is your son

Hmm, thats not that old. I don't know what you mean, Crazy... I'd think the opposite would be true, because of how obesity and diabetes rates are sky-rocketing and actually the life expectancy has gone down... Because of those reasons.

Hiya Tri! I'm doing pretty good, even though my sinuses kinda feel itchy for some reason. my son is good. even though we didn't get enough sleep ;)

how about you?

EDIT:
I didn't hear anything about that. and being fat or not doesn't have anything to do with death rate or even health rate in general. it's actually sensationalized in the media. lots of healthy people who work out all the time and are vegetarians and such have heart attacks and strokes and embolisms just like fat people. it's all about how your individual body is put together and how it functions.

i am so very lost
please fill me in

i am great i just figured out i am Bisexual so i am kinda confused

oh really? well I see nothing wrong with it, as long as the person you are in a relationship with is a commited relationship and you don't cheat. those that have both a boyfriend and a girlfriend and thank it's okay, always ends up hurting everybody.

we were talking about how I thought I hear folks are living longer these days and she hear we didn't because of being fat and stuff.

i am not in a relationship yet and the guy i fell for is straight and he is commited already but we are still friends

and to that it all depends the average for life lived has ogn up by like 20 years over teh past year so you are both right in a way becasue of all of the violence

ooooo!! I didn't even think about violence in considering the average age of people when they die!!

yah natural causes have gone down but Irag has just screwed us up and if anybody was going to attack we would be so..............i can't say what i want to

@crazy: Actually, it has a LOT to do with health... When you're obese (I said obese, not fat) your heart goes through a lot of stress to pump enough blood through your body...And goes through lots of stress when doing simple activities like walking... So it lowers the life-expectancy alot. ((Don't take offense please, I debate with everyone. Lol.))

Yes, anyone can have a heart attack... but people with obesity have more heart conditions.

@tri: Ohhh, yes thats a confusing thing to figure out. *nod* I wish you well.
I found that out about myself when I was 15... Lol.

Thanks thor and acualy i am 15 so that is weird and it is true obese people have a better CHANCE of gettign heart desise but that i snot always teh case or reason for the statistics

sorry with the pause, my son won't stop gabbing at me.

yes, that is true for most people who are over weight. my doctor has always tried to find a health reason to put me on a diet and can find nothing. other than weighing more than the "average person" I'm healthy and so is my body. and no worries, I love debating too!

UGH! My son won't stop messing with my things!!!!!!!!! REEEEUUUGGHH!!

hahahaha how old is he?

and debates are fun my cosin is in college on a debating scholorship

he's 8 ... and now I have successfully distracted him with "Home the Grinch Stole Christmas" ... thank God for Cartoon Network!!
