I was talking about marriage. You love your wife so much you want to go to court over it.

i never asked for this
a few years back I was fresh off a divorce (10 years with that horrible woman... yikes) and had an appt to get a vasectomy because I never wanted kids, but then I met an amazing person who suggested maybe I hold off. now I’m married again with a beautiful kid.

sometimes life just be that way, but I definitely wouldn’t have planned a kid during pandemic times. mine was born in the early lockdown days and let me just recommend not doing that

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
if people want to have kids, they should have them; if they don't, they shouldn't. there's always going to be a good reason not to do it. i'm definitely not going to chastise or judge someone for giving birth to the nurse that gets to change my diaper when i'm drooling at 95

There's a show my wife is binging on Amazon called "90 Day Fiancee - The Other Way" which includes a bunch of Americans who met people in foreign countries and immediately knocked them up so yeah, I guess some people are.

The 'best' part of the show is when the Americans' parents come visit them in Ecuador, Brazil, South Korea, etc and spend the entire trip talking about what a shithole their mate's country is. Just the nicest people.

90 day fiance is my favorite garbage TV show.

In the first season there is a hardcore mormon dude who goes to Brazil to do missionary work, and ends up meeting some very rural Brazilian lady when he was 18 and she was 16. His whole storyline is how he wants to "civilize" her. The first comment he makes about her is "they didn't even have washer/dryers in her village!".

i'm sure it won't be a "boom" because most of the people of childbearing age are still locked in their tiny apartments and too depressed and anxious to have sex. it's not like post-ww2 when people were celebrating in the streets and everyone was horned up and rich off the spoils of war.

but there will be a blip like there was in june 2002, yes

it's the people actively looking to get pregnant during a pandemic that are most baffling to me. yeah let's plan to undergo a process that can cause major, sometimes life-threatening complications requiring medical care, during a time when the healthcare system will be overstrained and where going to a hospital will be even more hazardous than usual!

hell, depending on where you live and how bad this poo poo gets in the next few weeks, it might not be possible to get medical care!


and yeah you can plan on delivering at home or w/e but sometimes the human body isn't so cooperative.

as of today every hospital in sacramento is full

they are now turning people away

In developed countries we have things like civil union which is all the legal benefits of getting married without getting married.

and in shithole states they have covenant marriage where you get to shackle your wife to you with unbreakable legal paperwork

the most popular time to get snipped is the day before march madness because the recovery is sitting on your rear end for 5 days or whatever, so why not do it during an extremely exciting and entertaining tournament that is on from 11am to 7pm for a week

i was in the church and marriage is just what you aim for early

was it because we wanted to have sex

maybe idk. we had 69rs regardless and then one person would come and then start to cry and the other person was horny and now hanging out with a guilt ridden case asking to pray about sinning

the backsplash there is a vineyard, the previous owners had a hardcore wine fetish and had their own label or something, idk they went bankrupt renovating the place and getting divorced. all the neighbors keep telling us how awful they were lol

e: here you go



and this kinda thing is all over the place too



old white people here are just bananas for wine. it's kinda down on the list of stuff that's getting replaced

the neighbors who have lived here "since all this was orchards" 50 years ago have the spanish tile and horse chains across their front porch so they handily claim that

this place was just renovated about a decade ago by rich wine snobs. one of those wine label tiles (there's like a dozen) had their actual family last name label on it, added in sharpie since i guess they couldn't decide on whose name to use (maybe the divorce had something to do with this). the rest of it is laquered tile as i suppose it was meant to appear on the bottle, but the name itself was sharpied on. hoverwife obliterated it immediately with acetone since it looked like poo poo lol
