Exactly. Wife and I chose to move across the country, after her corporation was bought up, split up and everyone laid off. Took 5 months for me to find a job and 12 months for her but we had savings (now greatly depleted) and were able to make it. And yes, we did have a mortgage and we do have a young daughter as well.
In the past, you had to plan for Huns or Picts or Hottentots to attack and burn your homestead. now days, you have to be nimble on your feet financially. Different times, different skills.
I love the 5 minute background bit on Logan's Run, that was broadcast before the movie came out. They were going over the great special effects, like the miniture city with a moving monorail and the terrifing robot; Box! Little did they know that Star Wars was lurking right around the corner...
So...nipples, on men are similar to having a platypus stapled to your chest? Surely, there's some god laughing at me. Maybe not for male nipples but for something.
Heh, after living hell of public school system, my dream was to live far away from most people. Almost there. Just need another $20k in the bank and the land will be mine!
Mebbe' the universe was on top of a real tall mountain when it exploded, hence the increasing accerlation. It's all gonna land on the heads of those flat landers livin' down in the hollers.
Same thing here. Our gaming group survived marriage but once kids showed up, no more. My daughter's 5 now and am thinking about breaking out the original D&D books (lil' brown ones) but may just start her in on GURPS. My stuff's in storage but went and downloaded latest GURPS lite today. She may have fun with it.
Same here. As I've gotten older, with less time on my hands to sit down with others on a regular schedule, I've been using the past edition of GURPS Space and GURPS Traveller First In to develop my own scenario of space (and mess around with database program, trying to create clickable space maps). Development is fun!
You're one of those lemmings that refuses to specialize and instead, generalize. Don't you know that generalizing skills has never done any good for humanity?
True. For some reason, I've been making Patrick Stewart jokes this week on/. I also know at least one young lady who wouldn't mind being hoisted by her own Patrick Stewart but that's another story.

...cancer resistant BLOOOOOOOD!
Damn, it'll be cool being a blood zombie, hunting down the cancer resistant and taking their blood.
So...nipples, on men are similar to having a platypus stapled to your chest? Surely, there's some god laughing at me. Maybe not for male nipples but for something.
And their purpose? To break up the monotony of the male chest?
For the grape flavor lover, grape pop-sicles in the hoo-haw do a nice job. Man, college was fun. Best 15 years of my life.
Oh man, this is why we need genetic engineers on the planet; beer flavored nipples. Guinness of course, on one, and maybe a nice IPA on the other?
I think beer would come out of mine.
Males don't have nipples? What are these marks on my chest? Skin cancer? I'm so confused.

Oh man, I am so jealous. There were some commercials a few years ago, trumpeting 'true American heros'. This man definately deserves such an award.
I want my Acme rocket roller skates!
Does she have webbed toes?
You mean damp corn starch?
You're new around here, aren't you?

There was color photos and movies back then. Not a lot, as it was a lot more expensive but WWII/History channel shows it sometimes.
Heh, I'm waiting for Wal-Mart to take on the oil companies. There's a fight for ya'.
Weird. I set up a bunch of Apple gear for Robin Zander years ago, when I was working at Mac repair shop. Has a pretty nice home studio.
I've never gotten around to hooking up my turntable to my computer. And after 29 years, my copy's pretty scratched up.
It's spelled Picard.
