"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread
It's been about 9.5 years and 350K posts of epicness, but "It Lives, It Lives" can live no more. The OG LLSNL Chat Thread got too big for the servers to handle and had to be retired.
You can take that trip down memory lane here.
Now it is time for a new chat thread, and new epicness.
make sure you do the follow up where they confirm you're swimmers are mostly gone
I was told that it’s ~99% successful but a small amount of time it self repairs after ~10 years and can become active again.
couldn't edit above -
doc who did mine said that the surgery isn't always done well enough to stop them. the follow up confirms if it's done well enough or if they need to redo it. if it wasn't done to stop enough of the swimmers you could easily end up with another kiddo.
Confirmed, will be going in for the double check.
Have the third one Miami. Can’t even describe the additional joy my #3 has brought me and the rest of the family
If it happened, I know we’d welcome the child, but neither of us wants a third.

how do you check safely? beatoff into a petri dish once per quarter?
it's my undestanding that you still ejaculate, just the ejaculate is all water and no boats - is that true?

That’s actually a sweet spot - relatively independent and self sufficient without the teen challenges that will likely be coming.
And yep, going back into the baby stage would be difficult for you now - although my brother has a son who is a junior in college and a daughter who has just started 1st grade!
As I contemplate single life and new relationships next year when I can finally get out of my marriage, I must say that my liking of younger women is tempered by the thought of a) someone who wants a child (no ****ing way) but b) someone with far younger kids. My youngest is about to turn 14 and the girls are 17 and 18 and I just don’t think I could get into a relationship with someone with kids a ton younger with the thought of having a load more years to come
Tbh the teen years have been more stressful and the problems you encounter are way way more complex, but the volume and aggregate of time needed reduces

We always said we were going to have 3. Life went some different ways after the first one, and I didn’t want to be poor paying double day care, so we hit a 9 year stretch between the two, and when JR was born I learned that I was toooooo tired to raise a third, and we took a huge gamble health wise having the second, so snip snip.
Over the past year I keep thinking about what it would have been like to have that third. I guess part of me has regrets and/or I’m bout to enter my mid-life crisis, so I’m thinking about all the important things I may have missed out on.

two healthy ones and a healthy wife is pretty good though bud.
Double daycare is no joke. We have one more year until the eldest starts pre-k.
If we had a third, hiring a nanny would cost less.
I have visions of retiring one day and having a third makes that a lot more difficult.

Back in the day, had we had kids that close together ….. Broke af.
The 9 year difference has been nice though. Daughter is at home today watching my son because he’s sick. Things like that help out alot.
And more money to spend on the kids is a plus. Jr is playing travel ball now. Something I would have killed for as a kid. It’s costing me a fortune ($300/month for camps and batting cages right now), but worth every damn penny.
One of his uncles from 2p2 hooked him up with some baseball $ for the season. I spent it on eBay katanas. I’d say that $ was spent well.
Ebay katanas are well known to hold their value.
I am pretty sure I don't regret choosing to not have any kids. It helps that being an uncle to a several and an "uncle" to a bunch more helps. As does coaching. As I get older I sometimes wonder what having kids would have been like, but then I remember I am retiring early, and I move along.
I do hope I eventually get to be a great uncle at some point.
Gotta admit, I've never missed it, and am not really fond of being around kids much. Niece/nephew are cool, but much better now that they're college age.
who's going to get the gman/skippy trust funds upon your demises though?
Hopefully split evenly among the nieces and nephews. Currently I have 40% going to my mom and oldest sister to make sure my older brother with disabilities is taken care of - but if they get that 40% it means I expired early so hopefully fading that.
What do I care? I'll be dead.
Plan is basically the same as Skippy's, though, assuming wife per-deceases or we die in the same fiery crash.

Hmm. Good reminder that I’ll need to re-do my will next year.

I do not work for the IRS, sir.
