For Kerrick

Yeah I remember you lamenting her plight...  That's a rough ticket.  Age of 21 or not, about to have a kid is a pretty drastically different life-stage...  How is she doing with all that?  And you as her parents?

She is very excited to be a mother (we will see how she feels about 3 months into it, lol). I am sure the experience will cause her to grow up fast. On the short side of things her mother and I are very much looking forward to having a little one in the house again. For almost two years we tried (unsuccessfully) to adopt. We almost feel as if it was God telling us to wait or something like that. On the long side of things I am a bit worried about my daughter's future. It won't be easy to keep a decent job and care for a little one by herself.

You guys can babysit the child.

For the first three or four years we will be helping raise the child!   

That works, too. That's nice of you guys.

Kudos to you and the wife for supporting her… and to her for choosing to raise the child. It'll be an interesting experience.

Yeah, it's good that she didn't get an abortion.

We have taught our children from the first "sex talk" that abortion is murder (and the first one was before I was even a Christian). With as much fear as she had in telling us about the pregnancy, I was delighted to find out that the thought of abortion as an option never crossed her mind.

Right on.  I have a friend who found out she was pregnant after she broke up with her boyfriend.  It coincided well with her graduation from college so she too moved back with her folks.  That was a year ago now and while it hasn't been easy raising her son in that context, it's been good and she has definitely had to grow up quickly as I'm sure your daughter will too.  I'm glad that both my friend and your daughter have supportive parents; that's pretty huge and I think will offer the kids a better childhood.  It's a rough ticket for sure, but she'll be alright.  My friend has been able to get a job as a nurse and is slowly moving towards being somewhat self-sufficient (though she's still very reliant on her parents).  Kudos to you guys for stepping up to the plate and loving your daughter through your help for her and her child!

Good job Kuhluhluh good job. I'm happy that it is well.

Just saw these...:

Hahaha it's a sign!      I have adblocker so I don't see these...  I think I'll keep it that way haha!

^ But your missing out that way!!!   It looks like you have two choices: one with facial hair and one without!  

There are only two people on that website???

Surprisingly, they haven't found each other yet.

That's my guess.  One for each advertisement! LOL!

I got really curious. I decided to go to the website to see it for myself... I don't recommend it. It's really low quality. There are more than 2 people there. Eh... Dating sites always made me uncomfortable though. They feel so sketchy. I clicked on "Stories" because I wanted to look around. It said "Success Stories" on the page, but there were no stories there. If you click on "News" it just tells you how to do stuff. You can look at people's profiles without being a member. There's this thing on the home page that will bring up a random man and a random woman. You can click on "View Profile" and see their information or you can click on "Spin again!" which will bring up another person. Another feature of the home page is that you can see the newest profiles. You can narrow down which profiles you see there. The options are Any Gender, Man, Woman, Couples, Groups. Couples and Groups have absolutely nothing there right now. There is also a place where you can send Feedback. Yeah....

I really don't mind doing these types of things for you guys. I do these things to myself. Really.

Just saw this one:

Kerrick, I found some people on Craigslist.  

Oh no!  I'm sure there are some real winners on Craigslist!

There sure are!

These were the closest locations I think:

O.o

What has been seen cannot be unseen. Good thing I didn't look at any of the ads.

Hey Kerrick! I just heard on the rumor line that have a honey!  Is it her!!!???  

Ha!  And WHERE did you hear that???  If I've got a honey, I wish she'd let me know...  Otherwise maybe I just got a stalker.      I've dealt with my fair share of stalkers admirers... but I find myself rather intimidated by ^her and I'm not so sure I could handle it!  I'm not super into women who can beat me up...
