My sympathies Rhp. That was a devastating loss. You've already done the most important thing for your longevity however in quitting or cutting way back (sorry, I don't know which). Medical care has improved so much in the last 20 years however that there is a real basis for the idea of 50 being the new 30. So I would say, if you and your lady are ready, .....get on with it! And have fun trying. :)

Yeah my woman is taking iron pills recommended by obgyn for that. Tomorrow, rather, today will mark the anniversary of my father passing away (lung cancer). I miss the ol' man. I think I needed him more in my 30s than any other time and naturally I wanna be there for my son when he's in his 30s. I guess the older we get the more we appreciate our parents. But let's be real, I smoked for over 20 years. Odds aren't great. My dad gets a pass 'cuz when he started smoking people didnt know how bad it was

Ok, What's the saying, In for a penny, in for a pound? Just pulled the trigger on joining my first Co-Op and linked the quote to it below. Hope I did it right. Any Co-Op vets thoughts are most appreciated. TIA :D

Now back to get caught up on the last ten pages. Actually, I should be updating my resume for a yob interview.

Ok, I think I'm in - I posted on the CoOp discussion thread and subscribed to it. Do I need to mark my order on the spreadsheet now too? Or do I wait till it goes live? I'm so confused...:blink: :confused:

If you signed up you should be good to go... I'd recommend subscribing to the thread for updates, like when to pay, and to get shipping status and stuff later. Most of it from this point is all wait.

Good luck with the resume Chak! PS You don't need an interview for a yob though - all you gotta do for that dubious status is to go to an English premiere division soccer match, stand in the opposite stand to the one whose fan colours you're wearing and then roar out that their team really really sucks. I guarantee you that yobdom will commence immediately along with loosened teeth, torn clothes, bloody noses, setting of fires and beating of many heads with many truncheons....

Edit: Sorry about the topic, I think I'll blog these thoughts instead of putting them here, I don't wanna make anyone feel awkward. Again, sorry.

I don't think 40 is too late. Sure you smoked 20 years, but if you quit now, most of the health effects are greatly diminished in 20 years. I think in 10 you are much safer, actually. Red, there is a good chance you could live into your eighties and still be hale. If you and your woman want children, have them. Even if you die while your son is in his twenties but you raise him well (and it sounds like you are a thoughtful person on this issue) you will not have failed him.

My sons are an unbelievable joy in my life, even though they make me crazy. It has been my greatest honor to be a guide for them in their lives, and I will not regret it even if I am gone tomorrow. I have tried to love them each day like it could be my last. That is all any father can hope to do. Have children if you want them.
 
My brother and his wife are currently pregnant. They weren't supposed to be able to conceive so this was an uh-oh. He will be 50 and she almost 44 when the baby is born this June. He is so excited! My Dad smoked until he was 40 and quit and is almost 77 and can run circles around all of us! That man is unstoppable and if I could bottle his energy and sell it I would be rich.

The younger you are may be better. You won't be too old to keep up with them or be actively involved with their interests or activities. Later, however, you may have more maturity yourself and tend to make wiser decisions. Just my thoughts. You really won't know until you have any.
When is it too late to have a child in your opinion? It's 5 am so let's not be politically correct, realistically what age 35? 38? 40? (as a father I mean)

Now that thing about your brother and his wife is cool. I have an aunt who is three years older than me cause my Grandad and Grandma Becky had an uh-oh. My Dad is pushing 70 now and I can barely keep up with him. I intend to do the same for my sons.

If you still have a Dad around you are blessed. Mine passed when he was 49. Never smoked that I saw but the Widow Maker killed him. Back in 1971 heart bypass surgery was still fairly experimental. He was on a waiting list but a year after his heart attack he had another and died. I was 17 at that time, 41 years ago. In my later years I have had the impact hit me harder than when he passed. So many things I wished he would have been around for. Back then I was caught up in the rebellion of youth during the 60's & 70's. I guess what I miss most is having him as a friend and counselor. I had to figure more out than I cared for.

That may be why I ain't right today!!:confused::blink::?:

Happy St. Patrick's Day, all! Hope you're each touched by some of the luck of the Irish today! I love reading about all the proud moms and pops on this thread, though it has me hearing a bit of the old tick, tick, tick:rolleyes:... The last breakup was a real doozy, but I really do need to get myself back out there. Yeesh, who needs to hear about that:facepalm:? Good Sunday to all of you!

Happy Sunday. Working in pain is better then working double time tomorrow. Actually my plan is to walk out as early tomorrow as possible so working in pain is for the good cause of the REO.

Mine might get to be 5mo old by the time I get around to it. I'm afraid of Serendipity still. That burnt popcorn taste threw me for a loop. I don't remember anyone ever getting that from the Dipity.

I don't get that from Dipity at all, but I DO get a popcorn taste from Mocha Java Smooth and Java Smooth. Not burnt, just popcorn.

Nice, we should have a "post your vape-cave" earth Google thread, lol.

It just occurred to me I said far right house, in actuality it is far Left :facepalm: God I suck at thinking and drinking.

Um, if you hadn't noticed yet, this thread is more about people than anything else. You have the right and the obligation for us to get to know you better. Things are easier when shared. It is always nice to get several opinions and it seems as though the general consensus is to go for it and have fun trying ;)
