Just goes to show you, things can go wrong -go wrong -go wrong
-go wrong. People do that, Becky. They make jokes about what
scares 'em and what down right pisses 'em off. Don't get the
wrong idea. I'm glad you wrote your article. Its just that,
joking sometimes helps take the sting out of something that
scares or hurts. Don't let it bother you much. I don't think
anyone really meant any harm. Your article did give a few of
the netties something to think about though. And you'll have
to admit, the thought of an unexpected pregnancy is pretty
scary to some folks, probably women more than men though. And,
you are right, some postings did border on bad taste. I don't
think most of them deliberately tried to hurt anyone though.
Me? Well, I still count myself lucky. I'm not worried every
time father's day comes around(8-). I do think couples should
do a lot of time inside each other's heads before they try to 
get into each other's pants. And, I think most of the folks on
the net feel that talking to SO's is a pretty good idea.

I was never real crazy about raising kids. I feel that the old
standby reason leaves me wanting a real reason. The fact that
everyone else is raising kids don't mean nothin' to this ol'
cowboy(8-). I'd have to want 'em because *WE* want 'em. I like
to kinda compare note with prospective mates on that topic. And,
I like to do it before things get too heavy.

Seems I can overlook a posting aa heck of a lot easier than I
can a pregnancy that leaves a couple in a hell of a shape. I just
want everybody to think about it and see Backy's point of view.
If you're just kiddin' its okay. If you're not, if you really feel
the way that bothered Becky, we gots a problem...

Thanks Becky, Best wishes to you and all you other folks who
tolerate me and my blarney(8-).


I'm gonnna go have a drink to all o' ya.
