What did you do this weekend?

I went to my first airshow. tons of sprogs (one of them ran up and smacked me in the leg!) but worth the beauty of the airplanes. What did you do?

I went to a greek food festival in Atlanta, slammed full of kiiiids, I think i was the only CF in the whole place, can anyone say OVER POPULATION???

i sat in my garden reading sci fi and listening to some music

They don't even eat that stuff! (awesome food. I'm envious.) The good thing about sprog events is that it's great adverse publicity.

What did you listen to? I tried to read a book about the Ali-Frasier fight but just couldn't get into it.

all sorts of music, some classical, some rock, some metal.. some cheesy pop..

Adverse publicity?....Sorry, I doubt it.. only to those who are on the fence about breeding..
Sprogs misbehaving, acting like little monsters does not seem to deter these people who are bound and determined to breed. After all 'it's different when they're your owwwn'... Then, they wake up and discover that it is waaaaaaaayyy too late. No return to sender here..

You raise an excellent point: many people on Fark.com say child-packed events do settle it once and for all.

Last Friday, my friends and I got dressed up in hot outfits and went to a swanky martini bar. Then, on Saturday a few of us went to a Tex-Mex restaurant, but I spent the remainder of that day and Sunday working on my master's thesis (oh joy). This weekend will probably be the same, with the unending thesis revisions.


Maybe I should pop out a kid so my weekends can be spent not sleeping in late, dealing with screaming brats and only going to kid-friendly parks or Chuck-E-Cheese-NOT!!! CF forever!
