De, survival. It’s the commonality that hold us humans together.

Bob, and if you can’t keep your houseplants alive, perhaps you should reconsider the dog.

Maggie, I think it works that way for many people. Life has a way of happening whether we plan for it or not.

meno, it’s the social part that gets me into trouble. My sister always said I enjoyed messing with people too much and shouldn’t be allowed to procreate. On some level she’s right, but I wouldn’t have screwed with my offspring’s head any more than I screw with her kids…not too much more anyway.

I never really felt any bio-urge to reproduce. It was more of a social experiment for me.

when I was young and single, I felt the same way. Didn’t think I’d ever want one of those. Ended up with one though, and fell in love. Then I got married, fell in love all over again, and well the urge was strongest then. Funny thing, once they were born, the urge completely disappeared. I am completely done. I have enough.

However, I really suck at book club too.

I think everyone looks for that unconditional love that babies – and dogs – give. Add to that the urge for a woman to fulfill that biological role they are built for and you get the ticking clock.

for those in doubt, I advise getting a dog.

Yep. I was thinking today that there are people who get recharged by others and people who get drained. (Irrespective of those other people’s personalities.) I get drained. Like a tree that took some damage, but survived, I’ll grow old a little more crooked than some others.
