    I said the same thing when my wife told me that she wanted another kid. My wifes grandmother is a twin and i told her it would be our luck that we would have the twins in the family. After we found out i should have bought lottery tickets with how lucky or unlucky we got. I recently asked since we are done having kids when was she going to have it all taken care of. I have never seen a more direct look at me and did not even have to say anything to relize that i was the one that was going to get "taken care of".

    As it has been my entire life I am just one of many who have carried the tittle "Mike". Miked

    Single white female - 40 iiiiiiiiiish
    Blonde - I get extra credit for spelling my name correctly...which is not Mike.
    Almost married but he lost his marbles, turned into a stalker and I had him arrested instead. So that went well.
    No kids...that I know of. Pretty sure I broke all my eggs on a bicycle bar when I was ten. (TMI!!!!)
    Own my own home but destroyed my spine 4 years ago and lost my job.
    Scrapping literally saved my marbles. And as cheesy as it sounds, this forum makes me feel like I'm part of a family. LOVED reading this thread!

    My parents almost named me Mike, but thank the lord at the last minute changed it to Michael. Feel sorry for those that were named Mike.

    Retired educator (used to say semi-retired but now admit I will never go back) and full time scraper. Live at home, mine and not my parents. Married to the same 50 year old +wife for the last 30 years with two boys, both out of the house.

    "It is not the age of the man, but the size of his scrap that matters" - self. Might have to use this as part of my avitar.
