Add my congratulations too!<br /><br />New rant: I get kinda crabby about the kid thing and the wedding thing. I don't give a flying fuck about others' reproductive choices or marital status, especially if I'm expected to spend money. Nobody threw me a shower and bought gifts when our family added fur-babies.
