Goodness!!! Lady Elspeth with her claws showing!!!
No honey, I have no claws. My fingers are worked down to the bone raising my four kids. When I reach the end of my patience, I go for the verbal knockout punch. So far I have managed to restrain myself on here. TRYING to be a lady. I save the good comments for PM's.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
I'll have you know Elspeth doesn't have claws Slave! She has pretty polished nails and is a lady. So don't make me come up there and shave your head and give you a bikini waxing to go along with it!!!! Don't pick on my little sister fella!
It's a person choice to have as many children as they choose if they are not a burden on the state or harming the children in the process. I believe parents can love all 15 children...
But if I had 15 kids I'd feel like a baby making factory and I'd be in the nut house by the 12th.
I don't see the point in having so many kids. 10 is a nice round number if you want a large family...but 15? What kind of person can you be if your constantly changing diapers, running after toddlers, nursing colds, kissing boo-boos, and screaming at Johnny to not kill sarah, helping the older ones with homework, school projects, after school sports, cooking dinner (unless you've trained the 9 year old to cook dinner) etc, etc??? When did the woman find time to have sex to make the 15th child? I just know I wouldn't be a person anymore...I'd just be a mother who keeps producing children.
In the old days people had so many children because there wasn't a thing called birth control. Now we do have it today and now we have a choice.

No, Peckery is a different kind of weird---california born and bred. But he was introduced to that special Indiana weirdness by his bride, and now makes it his happy home.
