    - No, I'm all for the signing, 100%. It's your catcher. For 25 of the teams in baseball, it's basically a dead bat. - TFox Feb 6, 13:18 8

  - My favorite thing about the stuff leading up to birth was attending the hospital's class for grandparents - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 6, 13:14 9
    - wow, i wish i had found one of those. i mean, Jacen's grandparents are very good, but still... -- nm - TFox Feb 6, 13:16 3
      - We were allowed to sit in the back but were told we couldn't talk. I had to stiffle laughter more than anything -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 6, 13:18 2
        
        My parents had "quiet competitions". The kid who was quiet for the longest would win a lolly - Roger More Feb 6, 13:20 1

        us too. still crazy after all these years. 39 years -- nm - CQ Feb 6, 13:15
        
        hmmm. my folks have been married for 42 years. not really big fighters. but I would never, ever want the relationship they have. - loosilu Feb 6, 13:15 4
        
        it's weird how many long-lasting relationships are dysfunctional. but i guess if it works for them, it works for them. -- nm - kare Feb 6, 13:16 3
        
        I don't know if it's "dysfunctional". It's certainly very stable. But I would rather kill myself than have that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 13:16 2
