Nice shootin’ thar, Tex! That’s what we call a bullseye! 😃 I hope the pregnancy goes smoothly for you guys. But **Dio** , how can you be a cynic when you already have a 5 year old child? That’s the stage when most parents have bought a gas-guzzler, are looking into “superlative” private schools, and are grabbing as much cash as they can with both fists! Before you know it, your screen name will be **Condoleeza the Cheneyite** ---

Wow! Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. D and the l’il **Cynic!** It’s a cliche to say Life Goes On, but it usually finds a way. Now you have even more incentive to try to improve things. Sometimes working FOR something or someone is far easier and happier than working AGAINST, even if you’re doing the exact same thing! ---

Thanks everyone. I’ll try to post updates now and then but hopefully not enough to bore everyobody. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl as long as it’s not a Republican. 😉 ---

Here’s hoping you don’t end up with an Alex P. Keaton, then, 😉 Best wishes to all the Cynics! ---

Well, well! And here I thought you spent _ **all** _ your time posting in the Barbecue Pit! 😃 Congratulations, \*\*Dio! \*\* And to **Mrs. Cynic** , as well. May both your children be healthy, happy, and skeptical. ---

A great, great many congratulations, **Diogenes**. (Jeez, your poor wife…she’ll have you to contend with plus two kids under six. That poor, poor woman. She must be a saint.) 😃 But seriously, I’ve read enough of your non-Pit threads to know you’re one heck of a loving father. Your kids (and probably your wife 😉 ) are lucky to have you. ---

Congrats! Obviously no one can accuse you of spending too much time on the Internet and ignoring your marital duties! Be sure to name he/she “Cecil”. You get a lifetime free membership to the SDMB if you send in the birth certificate. ---
