As far as names go, my vote is "This one" and "That one". I expect to be over-ruled, but at least if they don't like their names I can tell them it could've been worse!

Congratulations on your recent expansion. I guess things are going to be a bit hectic over the next few years (especially with twins. Good luck!!)

Ja, I'm the alpha male in this pack. Sadly, I am also the Alpha Geek in this particular crowd. Ever notice you only need to know one or two things more than the other guy to appear smart? In this crowd, it's fairly easy (with regard to computers).
RW: No. Other people having children doesn't make me feel old. Should it?

If your wife's daughter gets children and you're about as old as your wife that must make you feel old :]
Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :
RW: Why should it? The fact that I am as old as someone else has no relationship to how "old" I feel.
I feel about right, thank you.

I assume Baloo lives life by the principle 'You're not old till you are twenty years older than me'.(Great principle IMHO!).
