    you're right... and all my friends are male.

    p.s. this is a great thread... and i'm under 30.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I am 32.

    and the number of times people ask you when you are going to get married, start having kids, or other "settle down" style statements grow exponentially each year after 30.


    best way to avoid that: claim to be a lesbian satanist who may in fact think that the point of breeding is to be able to have a viable food source in case of zombie attack.

    and then claim to be a vampire. ;)

    you don't get the questions, and people try not to sit next to you at family functions.

    Nah not all 30-year olds. 30 is still young IMO.

    I like this :D I've just told them that I've tried everything...and then I give details....positions, techniques, dates...and that it's just not meant to be *sniff sniff*

    Your idea sounds much more effective :D

    34 and still hoping for negatives! :D
    There's a light when my baby's in my arms :)

    I am 33 and GreenTeaDisease, I couldn't agree with you more. I think PMS is such a sad time, because the sperm didn't penetrate the ova and commence mitosis cell division. Or meiosis. Whatever.

    hahaha that's hilarious.

    my friend she had felt some pregnancy symptoms but the test was negative and I was like "well you're probably fine then," just out of habit, forgetting she is actually trying to spurt a large mammal forth from her loins.

    36 and I have never hoped for a positive.
    I still have the one positive I got a few years ago though, because it was the beginning of the best journey of my life :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    hell is a baby shower. lol :D Seriously. I could do without every going to another one of those.

    I didn't have one. I lucked out. ;) (I still got a ton of gifts though, just because it was our first kiddo and people were ridiculously excited to buy presents for her.)

    LOL! hilarious thread...

    I'm 31, and I still have the initial reaction to pregnancy annoucements of "Oh Shit!", and then I remember that most of my friends are actually doing it on purpose! :eek: :o

    My dad has the same reaction, it would seem: An old, old friend of mine, who my dad has known since she was 3 or 4, and who is now 33, just had a baby. When my dad first found out she was pregnant, he said:

    "What do you mean she's pregnant? Who's going to take care of it?"

    well dad, she and her husband will.... ;):p

    wedding showers are probably worse, IMO. At least at baby showers they are getting useful things they kind of need. But still just as boring. another reason it would be great to be male...

    Unless it's one of those frigin' Jack and Jill showers. If I have to go to one of those I usually go through the mental file of excuses to see if I can escape. My girlfriends never usually buy it though.

    I didn't have one of those either. But yeah, they suck.

    Baby showers, though, are full of people talking about the gross aspects of their own pregnancies, the pregnant woman's pregnancy and then gross things about babies. Plus, there are embarrassing games. :D But, at least there is cake. So that's a good thing. ;)
