I wish I had understood, when parents told me I would be "tired", that they didn't mean "tired". rather they meant sleep-deprived to the point of insanity.
I also wish I had been forced, at gunpoint if necessary, to attend a sleep clinic before The Boy(TM) was born!

I wish I'd known that my wife would give in to him, wouldn't discipline him, and wouldn't let me.
She also says, "mommies don't do that", about certain marital activities.

My ex-wife, who got into channeling and ascension, one day told me that she did not want to do "certain marital activities" anymore because it prevented her spiritual development, and she was planning on ascending. As in, disappearing of the face of the earth.

Hi Marc,
Having reached 910-moons mileage on this meat-container, and not having (to my knowledge) quickened any eggs to embryo, even though I spent a lot of time going through the motions as if that was what life was really about ... what I would like to know is: why didn't I have any ?
I never said those magic words, "until diapers do us part."
Surviving a marriage after the children are born; yep, that's a psychodrama, but, how wonderful if the kids are old enough to present a ring, or take some part in the ceremony !
I've always thought it odd that people speak of "having" children, when it is clear to me that children have parents ... not the other way around.

Great reply, and it also reminds me that many, many parents that I know actually want to be parented by their children.

I want to post a link to a Calvin & Hobbes strip but I cannot find it.
I think it is the one after this one[^].
Calvin asks his father to see the book but gets told no-one is allowed to see it until they have become a father otherwise no-one would.
Or words to that effect.

Before I went camping, XP run 12 items update.
After surviving TX style downpour and retrurning home my XP DID NOT recognize ANY USB devices.
Turned it off and it wanted to download another "update".
After that , all USB are again recognized and working.
I feel MS needs to quit any XP "support" especially this kinds of updates NOW, immediately.
They need to work on Windoze 10.0!

Then I've got some good news for you:
Support for Windows XP is ending on April 8, 2014.
After April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. If you continue to use Windows XP, your computer might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.

Recursion is very meta today.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Good thought but as a programmer, I think you know it should be OTD<S> and not <S>OTD.

Of misusing irony but I will continue
I enjoy reading Freakonomic Blog. They have started placing a very obtrusive content blocking ad-wall on the blog, every page (maybe just for me how knows). But imagine, a blog discussing opportunity costs losing out on readership implementing such a poor feature.
I wonder if there is a study on the bounce rate of readers when a screen blocking ad is rendered over the content? Considering ad revenue is driven by views I would speculate it drives traffic down and not up.

The only thing it drives up on my machines in the number of ABP rules I've written.

Kind of unfortunate, because I can understand the legitimacy of ads so I don't use ad-block, merely stop visiting sites that become obtrusive. The worst part is, unlike, many, I will actually read an ad if it looks relevant. I have actually clicked through on one CP ad!

IMO far too many internet advertisers have long since lost their social license to operate to make taking the high road reasonable any longer. If the elephants declare war on me I'm going to respond with saturation bombardment.
Lastly, excluding ones that come up when I'm using Google to search for a product I think the last time I saw an ad which had any value to me was when Gmail tagged a CP Reply Notice from Nish (?) with an ad for something like IndianArrangedMarriages.com which was good for a snicker about a we tried too hard failure.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I didn't see anything when I went to the site then I realized I had ABP...thankfully!

It's like they already suppose almost every visitor has some form of AdBlock. So best get the most out of those who don't!!

More importantly, will there be enough Roquefort for me?
(Yes I know it is Ewe's milk in Roquefort).

Perhaps you should try and milk it[^] for all that its worth?

Isn't it a coincidence that the shortage comes right as the holidays are coming up?

Holidays?
I had my holidays back in June.
2 weeks in Jamaica with my Lady Dalek and her Lady Dalek Bumps.
Too cold for a holiday now.
