Yeah. But some are weirder than others. ;-)

Mine told me "Don't worry son. Even if some day you *do* understand women,

The too-young argument irritates me.  It's not about age, it's about 
maturity, which isn't really tied to age.  [insert conservative grousing 
about how the liberals won't let people raise their kids properly these 
days, too much government, more-than-a-little racist statement that is sworn 
to not be racist, things used to be so much better, etc.]  [insert "won't 
someone please think of the children?", etc.]

Yeah, at least Invisible goes outside.  Me?  Was taken to go shopping by 
people met thru playing D&D/Shadowrun (that game on hiatus for a long while 
now) on the 3rd around 11 pm, a cute church-soliciting girl knocked on my 
door on the 10th and just stood there grinning while I tried to figure out a 
polite way of saying "I have no idea how to interact with people let alone 
cute girls so pls go away kthxbye", I checked the mail on the 14th or so 
around 1 am, took out the trash on the 25th, checked the mail again on the 
27th, and paid my lot rent on the 28th, nervously chatting with the old lady 
there about the economy for a few minutes.  Apart from that I've not left my 
trailer, let alone seen/talked to anybody all month.  (See also:

C'est la vie, eh?

   Yep, well you've got me there, you're dead right, it is about maturity, 
and the one thing he hasn't got (yet) is maturity, but he sure will grow up 
now, eh?

    To be fair to him, he has two jobs and is at college studying to be a 
PhysEd teacher. But you know, (and I never knew this), when they are at 
school, you get school reports, right? Well, heh, when they are at college, 
you *still* get a report! This is at age 19, so the parents still have some 
say, eh? So, obviously, not as adult as they think they are. Anyway, he's 
doing ok, but flunked quite a few classes from the look of it, and he says 
it's because of his 'jobs'. So, what does he do now? Kick the jobs and not 
earn money for the baby, and carry on with his education? Or kick the 
education and bust a gut working?

 Thankfully, that's his problem and not mine.

     Yeah, well I know exactly how you feel. I'm in exactly the same 
position now after losing my wife, my daughter, and my son. After 25 years 
of always having someone around me, I now have no-one and living in a 
three-bed (suddenly very roomy) house. It is *the* most *weirdest* feeling.

Well, I was completely immature when had a child.  It made me mature 
quickly...

Holy crap!  I'm schizoid!

whatever.  We schizoids seem to deal just well among ourselves, huh? ;)

at least online. :P

My general view about my coworkers and people in general is that they 
have their heads too much up their arses to know it any better.  Like 
when you send a thoughtful, enthusiastic and even perhaps poetic email 
about the Milky Way galaxy -- its hundreds of billions of stars and our 
smallness and insignificance in spark contrast -- full of exciting 
pictures to several "friends" and parents only to met with inexplicable 
silence or one one-liner reply about my "philophy talk"...

I'm sure they have the same opinion about me, though I'm not that 
mundane and ignorant.

    And my son knows what 'love' is? And you did too?

    True love is a partnership for life, no matter what the hassles.

      No, everything does not "just fall into place". It did for you, and 
well done. I'm no angel, the exact same thing happened to me too (which is 
why I warned him that 'stuff' happens). My daughter wasn't expected before 
marriage, and my son wasn't expected after marriage. The difference is 
though, is that I always said that if it happened before marriage, I would 
marry that person, which I did.

   I sincerely wish I could share in your joy Nem, thanks, but it isn't

   Now I feel a bland Crysis Wars moment coming, gotta grab that Gauss 
Rifle! See ya! :)

So you can only know if it's true love in hindsight, after you or your 
partner is dead?

And why does true love require partnership?  What about selflessly letting 
the person you love follow their own path to happiness whether it coincides 
(or even intersects) with your own or not, and being truly happy for their 
happiness?

Yes, doesn't seem to happen anymore these days.  No one is wishing to 
take the plunge and endure the years, sadly...

No problem.  In six years all the obnoxious crying and repetitive 
questioning will be gone, and you enjoy the kid much more as granpa! ;)

We're all alone, even with new faces always around us...
