Hey, hey...lets not get into that discussion...I would just as soon forget that 20 years have nearly passed since I graduated from high school.  Or that I never actually went to college.  My parents swear I'm not a disappointment...think they might be lying to make me feel better?

Well you are not in jail, you are married to a beautiful and caring woman, and you have a steady job and endeavor to live your life honorably that is more than enough to make any parent proud and speaking as a parent of an adult child (she turned 28 this March) who is happily married and is an honest and sincere person for which Rosemary are immensely proud of her, I can assure you that your parents are not lying to you!  ;)

Yeah, we have several forum members in MD, some in VA, a couple in WV, and others from all over the place, including across the pond. If you're in the mid-atlantic area (which of course PA is), this seems to be the region we have the most members in so far. It's mostly because of the forum spreading faster by word of mouth than by google.

Another good question would be, how many years is 13 years in dwarf years? :D

Sir James...depends on the dwarf.  lol

Sir Brian, I thank you...even now I sometimes wonder...but you make excellent points.  As I have children not much younger than yours maybe I should be more concerned with what THEY think of me, eh?

I did, I did.  There's a good thing that comes of that though- I'm not yet 40 but they're almost adults now...my eldest girl is an adult.  She'll be 21 in January, the youngest turns 17 next month.  She'll be a senior come September.

Sir Wolf, and all the rest that have little children still- take many pictures and videos, thoroughly enjoy the time when they're young...they grow up incredibly quickly.  Sometimes, it seems like just yesterday I got my cap and gown and in about a year, my youngest child will do the same. 

Sobering thought, that.

That's what my Dad says- he loves it when the grands come to visit!  I don't recall him being that enthusiastic about me and my siblings.  lol

Seems I have been away from the Forum way too long  :(, seems I am missing out on alot. Good thing I made it down to VARF on Sunday and was informed of the happenings. I am excited to hear about the forming of an order.
