So this is what its like not to be at d*c huh?
No sir I don't like it!
Back to ponder: Gave geek2geek a second try. See above comment about not being at dragon*con. It applies here too.

I love that you met your current wife through your exs myspace.

I agree with all the booing about no D*C.
I never want to miss one again. :(
Having Mick around for our 'sulk together while not at D*C night' was fun though.
As for the ponder, I've no idea how I'll go about meeting. I guess I'd want for it to just... happen. Somehow.
It's perhaps not the greatest plan.

Ponder: Is it REALLY appropriate to be a grandparent at the age of 39? Ok, maybe 40 when the child is actually born...
*sigh*

I've kind of wondered if anyone could play, here. I didn't want to just jump in, but I suppose I will now.

Well, this would imply to me that two successive generations had children at around the age of twenty. I don't see how that's an inappropriate age to have children. It might be a little young, but not like super young. Now, if someone were becoming a grandparent at the age of thirty, implying two successive generations had children at around the age of fifteen, there might be a concern there.
Previous ponder: I met my girlfriend at college. She is a brilliant scientist, but she needed some pointers in English class, and lucky for me she came looking for a peer tutor. We kind of started helping each other with homework and fell in love. Of course, it took some time for us to come out to each other and actually start dating, but we got there eventually.
Facts are stubborn things.

I was about to say that I was in nursing school with someone who was 30 and about to be a grandma.
I'm about to be 40, and my child is 12 because I got off to a relatively late start, but I'm going to college with people who are old enough to be my kids without stretching the imagination. (Most of them were born in or after the year I graduated high school.) So I would be a little upset if I were actually to become a grandparent right now(!), but it's not inappropriate to my age range.
Previous ponder: I met him folk dancing. Ah lurves mah nerd.

Reason I'm just a little nervous is that my biological daughter is 15, so her age is the one I'm used to. My step-son is 20, so I knew it could happen sometime eventually. I was just wishful thinkin' I had a few more years before I had to bear the title. My wife, on the other hand, is an emotional wreck right now.
And for those confused, my step-son posted on his Facebook he was going to be a father. Not my daughter.

Don't make promisies Zeek...
Just kidding Lili really we do not bite:)
Stego - I just became a mom at 34 so I'll be at least 55 before I'm a grandma so I can see why it'd throw your wife off. Don't you also have a little one near my son's age??
HUGS to Navy, Avery, and Rosie ( wow took me a second to come up with screen names as I think of you by your real names ) D*C next year people...no excuses!!!

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

Of course I do. Maddox is the same age as Johnny. (Did I spell that right? Been so long since we've chatted and posted pics.)

I thought Maddox was near his age, but I wasn't sure how near ( might have been off by a year)
Ok Ponder- What book do you remember most clearly from your childhood??
For me I'd say Heidi. We used to pile in my mom and dad's bed and she'd read us a chapter a night:)
We even, to this day, call pan toasted bread Heidi toast To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.
