  • I was raised to believe it was just part of the American dream, 2.5 kids, house, etc, and my parents had me super young(16/f and 19/m). So when I got my girlfriend pregnant at 21, I was overjoyed.

    In hindsight I wish I could’ve waited maybe 4 years before making the attempt, that would’ve made things tremendously easier.

    That said my kids are wonderful, especially my youngest who is quickly becoming a responsible guy, driving and about to interview for his first job at 18 and looking to get into medical school as his career path.

    My oldest sadly has a lot of trouble with narcolepsy and autism that hinder him in a lot of ways, I’m trying to support him the best I can to get him to be self sustaining, but I don’t know when that will happen.

    I don’t think I’ll end up with grandkids, but honestly I’m just happy to see my kids succeed. After 2 kids though I knew I was done having more, and now that’s impossible with my wife getting a hysterectomy.



  • One of the problems with Vista was the push for vendors to mark their machines as Vista ready at all costs, where the minimum requirements were way too low, so a lot of people ended up with their first Vista experience being an anemic one, as opposed to one with the right amount of system power.

    Vista was also the first time we saw the UAC elevated privilege pop up which seemed to pop for just the simplest of reasons. Mostly because devs were putting too much of user config in the program files directory, or in the windows system directory. This made it so anytime you changed a user preference the UAC would come and ruin your day. Now we just have the devs shoving everything and anything into %AppData% instead.
