She enjoyed her pressies tho then went out to party hard.<br /><br />One word dear janice "Waterproof". hehe<br /><br />Hey Unstranger, sorry haven't been round to yours for a while. I'll catch up this weekend. Ah a bit heavy for this post. There are many good reasons for abortion and some not so noble. There's a story behind this little girl. She was not my first pregnancy. No I didn't have an abortion but I did miscarry my first. It's not something on my agenda but I don't judge others who might take that option.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-87837362298618133472009-12-05T05:41:46.501+11:002009-12-05T05:41:46.501+11:00I read this yesterday Baino and I decided not to c...I read this yesterday Baino and I decided not to comment as it is such a profound piece of writing. I think I figured that it was deserving of a more measured response. <br /><br />Last night it came to me what it was your post said to me and it's this: That what I had just read was the greatest argument I have ever read that combines gentility with power as it shows us how we should correctly view abortion.<br /><br />I hope i haven't overstepped the mark by bringing up such a terrible subject.

I'm very lucky.<br /><br />Aww Foxy. Keep it up . . .<br /><br />Haha. . . Skip you're not the first to make that mistake. I must sound like a bloke!<br /><br />Slipster . . hehe . . new nickname, it'll stick.<br /><br />No I'm not. I'm a ratbag crusty marshmallow . . .are my cracks showing . . er no that didn't sound right but you know what I mean.<br /><br />Snap then Ropi. Really? You wouldn't? Well I count myself even luckier then to have young friends and family who think of me as a friend. There's a fine line though. Wait until that lad of mine gets home and has a lecture about the state of his bedroom, there's a mouse in there! That's when 'mother' kicks in. Quite a few of my Facebook friends are bloggers I've never met, but I know them quite well so I count them as friends. Most are real though.k<br /><br />Ah Steph you're prolly still a bit woozy after the anaesthetic! I hope Pops is as good a friend. God I have a child who's quarter of a century old!<br /><br />Rebecca I think the key is to be honest, fair, warm, not afraid of discepline, curfews, rules and a little tough love but also to give them experiences and appreciation for things outside their normal realm of existence. That was my formula anyway. I also worked for all their lives apart from a couple of short years. I still do and I think now that she's gainfully employed, it's helped her realise that life isn't all a bed of roses so enjoy time out when you have it.<br /><br />Yeh well it doesn't happen often so enjoy Jeff.<br /><br />That they are Betsy. I'm blessed with a small group of wonderful friends but she's pretty awesome. Keeps me grounded, that's for sure.<br /><br />God e I hope Adam doesn't read this he'll be getting jealous. There'll have to be another one next week!<br /><br />Well spotted JD. You're very intuitive. Then we've known each other a while.<br /><br />Well worth the wait Jayne.<br /><br />Thanks sweetie. You're pretty damn cool yourself. You'd make a great fun dad if you ever went there. Eyes off my daughter! It's me who has the crush!<br /><br />Both are saggitarians Rowe so it bodes well I guess!<br /><br />I have this thing about liking people Ronda. I think you have to like someone as well as love them to complete the circle.<br /><br />Tsup! Bimbimbie. <br /><br />Angel May I am lucky. Even though she never really knew her dad she has his nature. <br /><br />Well Stephanie, you know how it feels. Both my kids give me goose bumps, regularly. Mainly because they don't know what doors are for.<br /><br />kj she's up for the big trip so you'll meet her next year or the year after. No doubt about it unless she's barefoot and pregnant (perish the thought) now stop snivelling.<br /><br />I'm not that close to all my 'family' River. We have our differences but I'm very close to my kids.Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-33037590821510838132009-12-04T18:16:04.561+11:002009-12-04T18:16:04.561+11:00I knew it was your daughter from the first sentenc...I knew it was your daughter from the first sentence.
