That's at least 5 years and 1 kid away. Hopefully for his sake anyway.

Congrats DS. You really should follow Rat's advice on the travel and spend time recommendation before kids...but you won't. My guess is you'll have one within less than 2 years and another 12 - 18 months after that. If the bride is 37, you won't have much of a say on it.

Just know that when kids come, your life is ruined. They will destroy your old 'non-kids' life and create a new one. Embrace that new one...otherwise you'll grow bitter and crazy. That's not good for the kids or you (or your marriage).

I won't even give them 14 months.

What if he shoots blanks?

Don't let'em fuck with you DS. I've been married for 20 years this August.

It is simple. Know the boiling points, don't be afraid to say NO and stick to it, and don't be afraid to do the things that make you happy.

Allow her those same options and you will be fine.

Also the longer you go, it is cheaper to keep her.

divorce court in 3....2......1

Usually, a month is good enough time to get established and bring up the "open marriage" concept.

BRM is only saying this because his wife is standing behind him.

It's all relative. I mean, how can you tell if you're standing "behind" Mt. Everest?

I was thinking more like slumped in the corner needing some more air.

There is a large contingent of swingers in our neighborhood who also frequent the club. I will check into at dinner tomorrow night...

That's just one issue.

Now selling China ICBM technology - that's another issue...

Aren't all people in trailer parks considered swingers?

What does (do?) a redneck divorce and a tornado have in common? Somebody always loses a trailer...

Despite Mike Krzyzewski producing the second-most NBA players in league history, former Duke players have only won two NBA championships—Danny Ferry in 2003 and Jeff Mullins in 1975 (before Coach K). That is every bit as shocking to me as the astounding number Carolina has won.

Even more impressive is that UNC products continue to produce NBA championships beyond their playing years. Including general managers and coaches, UNC has produced a total of 42 titles."

This post stuck with me and I just remembered that Shane Battier gravy trained a championship, or two, with Miami. So the updated list would have a whopping TWO ex-players who won a chip...and none of them were starring players (although Battier hit some crucial threes to down San Antonio).

Eff Duke. That's why I don't want the Lakers to draft Okafor. He's soft as a mammary. I don't want the Coach K curse on my beloved Lakeshow.

UNC has been very good to your Lakeshow...

True indeed. From Big Game James to Big Smooth to Foxy...they have contributed to plenty of Finals appearances. Kupchak on the player and management side, too.

Wayne Ellington's career, such as it was, seems to have been rejuvenated (or maybe, rather, juvenated) in LA as well. Obviously not putting him anywhere near the level of those others, but just sayin...

Weren't we just ripping on DS a bit ago?
