How do you get by?

We married people know how to keep busy on cold, winter days.

Our kids were born in September and October. You can do the math.

Wait, I thought married people didn't do that after the honeymoon?

Is that what she's telling you? ;)

To hear my 16 year old talk, parents aren't SUPPOSED to do that, especially old parents. Call it a "second" honeymoon, Jeff.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

I visit my sister in Florida. I get under foot for a few days, get off her nerves for a day by going to Tampa and coaster til I get sick, and then go back to finish out my week under foot. Then I come home and whine "Is it May yet?!?" to my husband until May actually comes.

"We married people know how to keep busy on cold, winter days."

Yeah, catching up on the stuff we ignored all summer while hanging out at CP every available day.

My need for speed is second only to my need to be inverted! No wonder Raptor is my favorite!

Some of us "married folks" keep busy YEAR ROUND;)

But for those others...check out this video from our "good friend" GEMINI...This will help pass the time away on the snowy days ahead (or here now if you where next to me)

Great job Mr. Gemini...Glad you missed that pedestrian at the start of the film;)

My dad has some old CP footage from a projector from 1978. If I find it I can pull out the old projector and watch that. By the way, does anybody know how to upload projector film to your computer? Or do you have to buy some gadget that does it for you? And I believe it is 16mm film

Omygosh, it's leaning!

Well, RCT2 is out...

If you want it to be flicker-free, take it to a shop that does transfers. They have the right stuff to do it right.

OK, some of you young married people need to realize it actually gets better over 40. No little kids around, plenty of time to spend together, and a lot more money.

Remember, women reach their peak at 40. Ahhh.... middle age rules!

Without upstops, airtime would have a whole new meaning!

I go to school and look for another job so I can buy my season pass next year. So far I can't find a job, so I'm just going to school

At the rate we're going our earliest empty nest time would be about 55!

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? :)

You hit the nail on the head, Chaindog. And don't worry Jeff, I was 32 when I had my son. You don't have to have an "empty nest"...just so long as they are old enough to go off to spend time with their buddies.

Sound proof the walls and pad lock the door.

When we had our first, our Lamaze instructor mentioned the merits of Barney videos. They last an hour, and completely mesmerize children.

We snickered at the time. Now, we own several Barney tapes, snicker-free.

It was Fred Penner and Pee Wee's playhouse videos for us. I put three 30 minute episodes on each tape. And those Sing Along Song tapes.

Amateurs....I'll have you know I use feature-length movies. My tape's bigger'n yours.

"playa...you forget I was dealing with this many more years ago. My son is 16 years old. By the time he was 5, even Fred Penner, Pee Wee, and anything animated was for "little kids". That's when we moved to Nintendo and got him a computer.

Heh. I just *knew* what was coming, and from whom...and the faux self-deprecation isn't fooling anyone! ;)

Oh shut up. I managed to avoid this thread for three whole days while Obvious Punchlines screamed and screamed at me.

Three days on the wagon doesn't even get you a 12-steps coin to rub. Then again, I'm a postaholic, so the advice to close mouth before I manage to insert foot farther is good advice indeed. :)
