Let The Countdown Begin!

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Hon, don't you realize that it doesn't matter WHAT the sugar-daddy looks like, as long as he's the one paying the bills?      (hey, YOU went there first, not me)  


And, uhhh... how many kids do you have?  I was only aware of Fionna... unless, of course, there's been an "official" announcement recently that I missed?  


Oh, and since you have to spend several years feeding, clothing and (by law) educating them, by the time they're big enough to get them to do any sort of labor at all, you'll already have bankrupted yourself several times over, so that one doesn't really pay anymore... since we've moved away from an agrarian society, anyway.    

Rani... read his statement again and think about it.

This thread has become an INSTITUTION (because we all know we're crazy)... and I think it even deserves to be stickied!  Since, y'know, it IS the #4 most posted in thread on the whole forum (and the 10th most viewed)!!!

Makes sense ... but honestly, this thread is never far from the top of the page anyway.

Why, thank you, Sir Martin!  I'm quite honored!


May the Sun always shine on you... even in the rain!

Meh, let her beat me for it, tired of keeping it bottled up

Yes, Tiff has popped positive on multiple pregnancy tests, is in full-blown morning sickness mode, and still refuses to admit she's pregnant publicly for fear that it will make something go wrong. But, since we're planning on six kids (and before anyone goes off about how that's too many, yadda yadda, remember I am one of eleven, we're Irish, big families are actually a GOOD thing for us as the clan takes care of its own), we're right on schedule for number two... literally. We still need to get the initial ultrasound done, so that's about all we know at this point.

Well Congratulations sir!

[haleyileaha]

Yes Congrats!
Big families ARE a good thing and that's totally awesome you guys are planning one!

[Rani Zemirah]

Well, it's about time you "announced" it (after spreading it all over facebook a week  or more ago)!!!      Congratulations!!! 


I completely understand her hesitation, however... and I sympathize.  I know that fear, myself... 


I hope her morning sickness goes away quickly with this one!!!  Sucks to be sick, anytime, but in the summer it's ten times worse...  Awesome that Fi will have a sibling so close to her own age, also!

SirM rocks pretty hard, eh?  Seriously, though... this thread deserves to be a permanent fixture there at the top!  Stood the test of time, and all that...    


Now that it is, though, Fraser, you have to take care of it...  No more disappearing into the mist, or lurking!

A very big congratulations to you sir! My husband and I hope to have that kind of news in a couple of months!

[Rani Zemirah]

WewT!!!  Maeven is BACK!!!  Missed you, sugar!  How was the Most Excellently Awesome Trip of AWESOMENESS?!? 

[maeven]

My Rani!!!!! I missed you too! Big huggles to ya! We had an AWESOME time! Even when things were a little "meh", we still managed to have a blast!

[Rani Zemirah]

How on earth do things get "meh" in EUROPE, of all places?!?   


Can't WAIT to see the pics!!! 

[maeven]

At last count, we had over 300 pics from Spain and Italy! lol...

Well, get them sorted and posted!!!   



MrHyde, welcome to the countdown thread!  Look forward to meeting you and your family this coming season.    I don't get to attend often enough to have any opinion of the new mgmt... but I'm definitely not happy that the good Captain won't be returning this year. 

[Just Randall]

Ah, but this just means that my time is my own now, to visit, share a pint or two, or other *ahem* extracurricular activities.

Like... moonlight "tours" of the TRF stages, by any chance?     


I very much look forward to being able to buy you a pint this season, Sir Randall (or whomever you will be by then) AND sit and visit with you while it's being consumed!!!
