Not so much luck yet. On the entire block one couple has an 18-month old. The rest are an odd mixture of empty nesters, a gay couple, a Jewish family, a couple of DINKS who don't wants kids and have big parties, two spinsters, a confirmed bachelor, a mean old hag and then a young couple we actually do like very much and have some interaction with. The house next door to me sits empty and I long all the time for someone to take it and transform it and fill it with kids - the exact ages of mine!!!!

I think I will buy that house. You can keep your meat to yourself - I don't eat steak and beer too since I don't drink beer, but there are other things to put on the grill and so many more beverages to drink. Happy holidays to you and your fam! I’ve been missing out on some good humor here. I think I will buy that house.

Huh. Sounds like good advie to me.
