I thought the entire point of existence was to possess the most toys before you die.

Could somebody please clarify?  I may need to rethink my existence  : )

  The entire point to existence is to procreate, don't kid yourself into
  thinking its much grander than that.

  But then again, after seeing some of the results, I am not against
  abstinence

  While on this subject, there is another aspect I just thought of. I have
  some friends that are newly married and all anyone asks them is "so when
  are you having kids?" Amy and I are starting to get the same questions.
  I find it a bit...rude maybe?...that people assume a wedded couple will
  have kids. Am I the only one?

  Thank you for the support guys, Deanna! :D Means a lot.

  I totally respect other people's wishes and wants to have children, and
  I admire them for it because it's a huge commitment. A HUGE
  responsibility, and one I just can't be a part of.

  Seriously, some of my hostility towards a comment like "you don't know
  what you are missing" ... comes from hearing it a gazillion times.

  Why is it other people seem to know what you should do with your life?
  Why is it that people have to jump on the wagon and try and convince you
  that you are wrong? Why do people not realize that what works for them
  might not work for others?

  Yeah yeah yeah, don't preach to me because everyone is human and it's an
  instinctive reaction to spread the wealth and joy they feel. Bah humbug.

  We love our pets and we are enjoying them to the hilt. We get a
  tremendous amount of joy from having them around. I don't know what we
  would do without them. But I'm not busting on everyone I know who
  doesn't have pets and saying "You don't know what you're missing" ....

  Happy Holidays! :D

  Cheers,
  Erika

  So, good for the two of you for making a decision that's right for you.
