OT Things to ponder

This friend claims to have seen them (with Shemp, not Curly) up close at a mall in Decatur and to have shook Moe's hand. He did have to wash the hand eventually. [:D]

With Shemp? That's like seeing Van Halen with Sammy Lee Hagar. I guess it's better than not at all, but quite clearly not the quality of the original.

You are correct. Many great, great people have died young, none so great as Curly Howard.

However, I wouldn't mind shaking Sammy Lee's wife Kari's something or other.

Are you saying he is Hagar the Horrible?

Qvack!

I believe that the shaking involving Sammy Lee's wife involves the shaking of the "Alimony tree" by his first wife, whom he divorced in 1994. The guy turns 70 this year (?!?) and has a 13 year old daughter by his second wife Kari. Anyone here (show of hands) want to father a kid at 57?

His current music projects include Chickenfoot with a 2011 album entitled Chickenfoot III. No relation.

If I had hands I could show one or two, but not in that case.

Ask Mick Jagger, who did at 73. And he's already a great-grand father.

Well, that's what Mick thinks anyway! I'd want some DNA testing of Junior if I was a father now![:D]

The baby's lips are a giveaway

[geofflambert]

You're saying if the kid has the lips of a grouper he's Mick's? To tell you the truth, if somebody assigned a kid to me and said he/she was mine I wouldn't argue or ask for a DNA test. I'm old. I don't know any better.

Want to say something about the best actor I ever saw. He's been in many movies with actors everyone would say are among the best they ever saw. He always gets surrounded with great actors beacause of how great he is. This guy has dumbfounded me my whole life. I think the first time I saw him, or noticed him was when he played Boo Radley.

Yes. I know there are some nut jobs out there that think that fathering a child at 70+ is a good thing. But...it isn't. I was querying this group (of nut jobs) to see how many of *them* wanted to be a father at 57.

Lunatic.

My father was 46 and my mother was 41 when I came along. It's more common now, but they went through hell raising a kid that late in life. My father started social security my first year in college.

[witpqs]

A friend of mine's grandfather was born in 1863.

[wdolson]

My family has generation stretched. All of my grand parents were born in the 19th century and I was born in the 60s. My mother's father's family is well documented back into the 1600s with more traces going back to the 1200s. Her grandfather was born in 1862.

He is one of my favorites also. One of my favorite films of his is Secondhand Lions with Michael Caine.

We did this. Mom & I didn't burn the candle at both ends, we nuked that sucker [:D] But we also were able to get a bit ahead job wise, so we could provide better. Now the kids off to college, and ma & I are looking to hang it up in a few years.

[Chickenboy]

There are real advantages either way, aren't there? I can see both sides of the argument: getting ahead in a career to provide better for the young 'uns versus having kids while you're relatively young and able to keep pace with the craziness better.

It gets more difficult when you've got 12+ years of college / residency in the mix before you can start really earning in your given profession. It's even *more* difficult when your wife is in exactly the same position. Trying to thread that needle and squeeze out those pups before mom's biological threshold gets crossed out is a challenge.

Things worked out OK for us, but it-having kids in today's world-is no laughing matter, dudes.

You got that right. When my kids were young we had them hold onto us in stores. If they where not holding on, they were in the shopping cart. You just have to be very careful with your kids and do the best you can raising them....GP

Abduction of kids is pretty rare, but the poison the druggies want to get into them are everywhere. That's my biggest fear for my grandkids.

[rockmedic109]

I was 47 when we adopted our first of two {my wife had three from a prior marriage}. Yeah, it was hard. But I also had the maturity to look beyond the obvious. Like when things started to go missing and our daughter admitted {quite innocently} that she took them. We knew what it was and our daughter confirmed it when she told us that if she had our "things" we wouldn't leave her because we'd be leaving our things behind. Not sure I would've been able to look beyond the obvious if I had been 20-nothing years old.

Stuff like this gets to me, and is why I still work in Boy scouts long after my son moved on. 99 kids go their own way, do their own thing etc. But then that 1 comes along that for whatever reason needs a rock. Not to hold onto, but just to use as a reference. And that makes all the time spent worth it.
