I thought the strip was blue for pregnant and pink for not???

You forgot about the part where you have to put YOURSELF though rehab too.

So, Amy, what do you intend to do with all the money you die with?

Bobbi: Oops...shows you how careful I am about not getting preggers.

Todd, I'm into the boring addictions like personal responsibility...which is what (not AA) keeps you from becoming an anything-head.

Shivering: Since I refuse to write like Dear Abby and the other idiots in more papers than I am, at the moment, that's "all WHAT money"?

I had surgery several years ago to make sure I would *never* get pregnant. Even with protected sex, accidents happen, and I'm not about to have *that* kind of mistake. It was an outpatient procedure, didn't have any bad side effects, and it wasn't very painful. I highly recommend it to anyone who never wants children!

Homosexuality is also a great way to prevent pregnancy.

Agreed. However, bisexuality is *not*, so I'm kind of stuck between a muff and a hard place...

I have two kids. I always wanted kids and I'm completely devoted to the amount of insane work it takes to mold them into adults.

People who know they prefer to avoid the insanity are people I admire very much! I have the utmost respect for the people who see that their life's course doesn't include offspring.

People who have kids out of a sense of "obligation" aren't doing anyone any favors.

"I'm kind of stuck between a muff and a hard place..."

Sounds pretty cozy to me!

Amy Alkon I adore you for this post. It's compelling and preciously rare evidence that women aren't just reproduction robots who have no choice but to respond to their 'natural feelings.'

Thank you Amy! I still don't know if I want kids, but I hate when women act like I haven't accomplished anything in life until I do.

Aww, even Crid has a soft spot for me!

(That actually means a lot!)

Thanks, Lia, too.

Parenthood should be a choice, and if you know in your heart that you aren't up to it, do yourself, and the next few generations a big favor, and don't have children.

I dunno. I think Amy has more to pass along to future generations than Sue Mengers. My proudest accomplishment is that she didn't have kids. But you notice how you never see Nikki Finke and Sue together? Very curious, indeed.

THAT is very funny!

Never give a child a hard time for asking an honest question.
