2. I don't see how that's a bad thing

Frankly, with the genes I got, I would have prefered that my mother enter a convent and my father been gay.

7. This is a fun little thought game I've played with myself off & on

over the years. It's really hard to imagine not existing!

BTW, Fenris, is that the girl from "The Bad Seed"? She's really creepy!

8. Ya ! I wouldn't be here right now.

But my dad is real horny like me. Him and my Mom are in their late 70's and they still get it twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturdays are their sex nights my Mom told me. I called there at 9:00 pm my time which was 10:00 pm Fla time and he tells me - Don't EVER call over here on Wednesday nights again MISTER ! Damn I thought I was bad about not answering the door when my wife's kids come over when we are doing it.

12. I would have waited around a little while and gone into some other

baby's body, to some parents that actually wanted me and weren't just having me because the Catholic Church told them not to use birth control.
