    Nancy,

    If I could figure out how to do the tagline, I'd be rich.
    * OLX 1.53 * Never have children...only grandchildren. -Unknown

    Well, we did have a child, but he's not given us any grandchildren
    yet... We kinda have done the tagline, though, with our niece's NB>children.... ;)

    This one square dance couple I know has been married 43 years, with 6
    kids, and (so far) 13 grandkids. <G>

    Both of them are characters...and at a recent Christmas Dance, she was dressed as an elf, complete with "ball ornaments". She walked up to
    caller, and said "I need to put your balls on". Needless to say, you
    know where everyone's mind went, and it brought the house down in
    laughter!! :D We knew it was all in good fun...but, with friends like
    us, you don't need any enemies.

    We've been married for 46+, only got the one child, and he's not had any children... yet.... dunno if I'll live to see any of them, should it
    actually ever happen... ;)

    My parents were married for almost 61 years, had 8 kids, 35 grandkids,
    and over 40 great-grands... They're both gone now, but the count of the great-grands keeps climbing.... 57, at the moment, some of them
    step-grands, with another couple great-great-grands from the steps...

    Ah, so she was sharing her balls with everyone....? ;)

    My family has given up on grandkids from my brother and I. We are the
    last of our line.

    My parents were married for 54 years, before pancreatic cancer killed
    him 13 years ago. Janice and I were married 3 weeks shy of 4 years, when
    a heart attack killed her. At least I had 12 1/2 wonderful years with my
    Mom after my Dad died, to do traveling, etc. with her.

    My Dad always said for years that he was "19", and I believed him!!
    When I passed him, "I smelled a rat" (my late wife said "There's
    something rotten in Denmark, and it ain't the codfish!!"). So, it was
    "You're 19, and your son is 42?? There must be something in the water!!"
    <G>.

    Ah, so she was sharing her balls with everyone....? ;)

    Practically.

    They are a sweet couple, and have been dancing for over 40 years.
    They've been married 43 years, and have 4 kids, and (so far) 13
    grandkids.

    Sure: your father was born February 29th!

    My husband's brother has two boys, but neither of them have had any
    kids... The married one, apparently they can't have kids, and have
    considered adopting, AIUI... the other has a girlfriend but no plans
    beyond that.... If my son doesn't have kids after all, that will be the
    end of this line, too...

    My mom lasted 8 years after Daddy died... just enough to catch up to him
    in age.... ;) They were both 86 when they died....

    My Dad always said for years that he was "19", and I believed him!!

    I have a friend who claimed for years that she was 29.... when her
    second daughter got into her 30s, she decided that she should revise
    that up just a little... ;)
