For a girl... how about Noraa?

Nora's a nice name, but maybe spell it phonetically so she won't have to spell it when she says it over the phone.

Just a friendly tip.

I remember my first "Hello World" program I coded on
a Motorola 6800 system in the 70's. It sent a terse
serial string to a CRT dumb terminal.

Your "Hello World" message sends a beautiful
image to all us here on PO, that in spite of
all the ups and downs, life contains moments
of pure joy and the promise of brighter things.

Congratulations to you and everyone within your
circle of love and support.

I don't get it, Aaron you think your girl got pregnant while you weren't paying attention?

Isn't one of the major arguments on this site that people should have fewer children? Or does that only apply to OTHER people? Like Nigerians, say?

I think the statement that life happens while you worry about other things shows you were not planning on adding this child to the future of the U.S, or was it a planned pregnancy?

Everybody goes goo gaa but secretly thinks sheesh, thank god that's not me ....

Today the site has a member quote claiming to be consciously killing others by buying a 40lb bag of rice and hoarding. I really hope it's not your girlfriend or your new child who ends up being consciously starved by someone on this site .....

Like Nigerians, say?
It's a common argument, that concludes with Jevons Paradox.

The Nigerians will keep having kids if there is spare grain to send
them. If the grain gets used up here first, it gets used here first and
Nigerians starve. And eventually Nigerians starve anyway. But
getting back to the paradox, if you buy a bicycle, someone else gets
a better deal on gas for their SUV. In a world system run by chaotic
free markets, your conservation will be used by others, this includes
attempts at conservative procreation.

Jevons paradox
"...reducing the amount needed for a given output, improved
efficiency lowers the cost of using a resource – which increases demand."

Always the clever one eh?

Nicely done.

No, it was a welcome, but unexpected surprise, (at our age).

I hear your pain about breeding into the energy future. I really do.

On the other hand, more Aaron's running around might be a really good thing.

In any event, despite planning to the contrary... here we are.

Life has it's own agenda apparently.

That's what they say about battle plans; they all go out the window with the first tussle, sorta speak. :oops:


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('virgincrude', 'I')sn't one of the major arguments on this site that people should have fewer children?

Surely an intellectual-internet argument of some, others say none and others say "let them eat cake" or something harsher.

But at the root, like every other living thing, we are born to survive to reproduce. Hopefully we humans have learned a few lessons during the oil age we can pass on to our offspring.

I guess there is no other choice except voluntary extinction.

Not really an option - at least once you have held a baby...

Hey weren't you complaining about a sex drought back a while in the "let's talk about sex thread"? Man you work fast.

I think Pops was referring to Marion Michael Morrison who was the duke not the king.

In any event. Congrats on the new addition to the family.

NORAA
The voilets were scenting the woods, Noraa
Displaying their charms to the bee
When I first said I loved only you, Noraa
And you said you loved only me.

The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Noraa
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you, Noraa
And you said you loved only me

The golden-robed daffodils shone, Noraa
And danced in the breeze on the lea
When I first said I loved only you, Noraa
And you said you loved only me

The trees, birds and bees sang a song, Noraa
Of happier transports to be
When I first said I loved only you, Noraa
And you said you loved only me

I suggested he Mike part was because it is my name! I didn't think about the Duke but a girl with that nickname would be pretty cool!
