My name is Serena, and I'm also a real female who is older than most of you (35, how the hell did that happen?). Anyway, I've been married for 10 years to someone I've known since I was a baby. We have 2 kids, an 8 yr old boy and a 4 yr old girl. Graduated from Oregon State University in 91 with a BS in Botany & Plant Pathology. Worked a few years in plant research for universities and USDA. Then the hubby decided to go back to college and we moved to another state with a newborn, and I couldn't find a job in research, so we ended up opening a computer sales/repair business to keep us going while he got his BSEE. Moved again to a new state with another newborn for him to go to grad school. He ended up stopping with MSEE, so I didn't get a chance to go to grad school. Moved again, this time back to Oregon. Now I'm home with the kids with a completely destroyed career trying to decide what the hell to do with the rest of my life career-wise. He's now a design engineer happily designing microprocessors.

Hi, my name is Michael, 20 years old and a 4th year Information and Computer science major at UC Irvine. I currently reside in my hometown of Newport Beach, CA and commute to school. I work at a consulting firm doing IT work, but this is just for play money. My dream is to own a computer related business and make loads of bling bling to buy nice properties and sell them for more bling bling. My dream also includes living in my current modest family house with my girlfriend, except that my house is completely blinged out inside.

You married your dad?

Yeah, didn't say that I knew him from conception or birth. Good try, though.

Damnit, why can't I eat a bowl of soup around here without that happening?

I can just imagine you sitting with your family, about to eat a bowl of soup and laughing uncontrollably. They look at you like you're insane and you try to explain why you're laughing...to no avail.

take some advice she's not going to dig you when she's mentioned being married 10 years.

Maybe if you play your 'cop' card a bit....chicks dig a guy in uniform...just not nerds in uniform.

So I can't discuss a running joke with somebody just because they're female?

Well, there's the problem. Two people can't joke back and forth without some kind of underlying sexual intent. Thanks for pointing that out.

You're the self-described sex-addict, if I recall correctly. With all the comments you make about chicks digging you at the bars, I feel for your wife.

Well, actually he's right, Bry. I've been trying to fist you this whole time. I apologize.

Hmmm let me see...yes I am...you bringing what I already brought up in an attempt to hurt my little feelings....tsk tsk.

She is ok with the girls, she comments with them. I would never cheat on her. If I find a need she cannot make I will talk to her about it. That is what MEN do. She is a great wife.

She knows my past and is friendly to some of my past women. She is Japanese though and understands, as I do, the women and men sort of like to screw.

Again here the thread goes with a passing joke I made.

rah team!

Actually, I brought it up in an effort to put your comments in the proper light...trying to point out your mindset so that your comment made some sort of sense.

And I got your original joke, I just found it weak.
