It is said that a successful man is one that earns more money than his wife can spend....

I grew up in Sharon Hill, PA. Beat that.

Half-kidding.

I'm drinking more than I should, but I don't think it's time for 12 steps just yet.

Not trying to beat it, but I did just see the house I was born in - Damn stuff looks a lot smaller than I remember.

Infi, you're too old
I looked into egg donation when I was 34.
Over here you only get travel expenses, and it's long and drawn out with lots of visits to the hopital and having to inject yourself.
But I figured I wasn't going to have any natural children, so why not try to do some good. There are a lot of tests and screenings and I failed at the first hurdle. I wasn't available until I was 35 and that was TOO OLD.

I was genuinely gutted.

Men are okay.
Thwap, thwap, thwap into a container and £40 - kerching!
Women disrupt their whole lives and get their train ticket refunder.
As is once, will always be....

Home sweet home...



But that way only until we moved on up. Well, moved the garage on up, over a kitchen and indoor plumbing.



Of course we had to go outside to get to it, but it was indoors.
