If you are talking about an erectile issue then kids are only part of the issue, and probably not he issue, as if he creates sperm children that are biologically theirs could probably be born via IVF. But there seems no indication that this might be an issue?
I reckon GBD probably quite definitely doesn't want to think about erectile issues in this particular situation (-:
FWIW, my Nanna was firmly convinced that my mother was Miss Absolutely Wrong. She was, after all, 2.5 years older than him, and therefore clearly on the shelf and desperate, hence grabbing her poor innocent little boy out of his cradle.
The fact that no-one's ever made my Dad do anything he didn't choose to do, and that they are headed for their ruby wedding anniversary this year, very happily, would not have persuaded her otherwise (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Bloody foxes.

Got as far as 2.2 and struggling with a piece that purports to critique a 'rewriting of history' in the media reporting of the looting and yet follows very strongly its own agenda without any attempt to be objective. Does it get any better if I make the time to read on?
I skipped much of the earlier bits. I don't know why but much of that kind of writing is downright annoying and if I read too much my blood would be boiling.
I'd be annoyed if somebody skimread science like that and felt they'd managed to summarise the key points. But some academic writing in certain fields seems to use deliberately esoteric terminology (see what I did there
) to state something that's really obvious or simple. The later bit made better reading but rather than re-read the paper, I'd rather wait for the movie version (and then keep nipping out to join the slowest queue for popcorn) There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Foxes can't do horses much harm, but small feathered birds, such as LIR also has, are a different story....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Its been devastation.
I only have three left near the house, the ones on the yard seem ok.
one Mille fleaur bantam of a very title bonded pair. One silie cross cockerel has just turned up, and one little cross been (a millefleur silkie cross). That's it. . My silkie bantams GONE. Spread over the lawn and yard and back garden. Found the surfing bantam in a tiny hidden corner by the house, but cannot find her sister anywhere. .
(Actually, foxes, vicariously ....very, were involved in special girls demise. She over did it when the hunt went past the day before).
Don't get be worst I don't hate foxes, just today I do.0 -
Sorry to hear that, LIR. Are you OK? Must be very upsetting....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Yeah. Sad,
The bantams are very much part of the day, the big chickes are more independent.
Jojo was like a cat, used to come over for a hug and to be stroked, and as a silkie had 'hair' so felt like a big fluffy cat too. I'm rather worried about the bantam whose body I haven't found in case she's not dead but hiding, but also for her sister who will be lost without her. They have always been very, very tightly pair bonded, one went broody, the other would stay in the house and peck about until side went broody too.0 -
Oh... that's horrid, LiR.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
