My parents talked it over and since they already put a down payment on the vacation house for the 2 weeks and the tradition has been going for 30 years, with my sister and my mother in sobbing tears and myself fighting back tears, my father said that we'll go for the first week, he called the house's owner and see if he can rent the the second week again. so yay, the family tradition will continue. My father just will figure out time to go down to see his father and I'll go probably twice to visit my pa over the week.

hmm I'm not sure how much I wrote about that my twin brother and his wife are expecting? well, #23 is expected in the next couple of weeks. We're all so excited...oh, #23? well, let me explain. My brother and his wife want to leave something for a surprise. They told everyone that it is a boy but not the name, even though they do have a name. My twin said that he picked out his number though. (my family are all about numbers. my fav is 34, my twin's 42, his wife is 7, my sister is 50 and my older bro is 6. hmm have to find out if my sis's gf has a special number)) Some how the name connects with 23 but it's not Michael, the most ovious #23. I have a guess but keeping it to myself... I think it's Alex. Justin is married to U-Miami and one of the baseball players that played while he attended was alex cora, and his number was 23. ...
So my mom and I went to their house today to see the baby's room. They have the crib, the book shelf, the chest of draws and the changing table, all set up. They put in new rugs and they painted the walls and Justin drew winny the poo caracters on the wall that I guess came out amazingly. (he is an archutect after all) They also have a playroom with 4 toyboxes... just like when we were kids and the play room's color is a bluish-green ocean color... I guess. so it's nice.
So cant wait for my first biological nephew

so I decided to sign up to jdate again, a jewish dating site where you pay a month fee. They had a very nice deal on father's day weekend so I subscribed for 3 months. I have had a profile on there for a very long time and once every few years I'll pay and see what I can do.
So they keep the stats. so over my time at Jdate, there has been...441 people to look at my profile, 24 emailed me, 6 people IM'ed me. of that 24 emails I have recieved, some of them are what's called "flirts" so it's not an actual message from them, just something they can sent that lets you know that they are interested in you. and some of those are from the same person as back-forth conversations. Compre that to I have sent 531 emails and viewed over 1000 females. (it stops counting when you get that high) and in the 11? years I've had a jdate account, I got 2 dates. I think it could be that I put that I am blind, and they go on to the next profile but I dont know. It could be something else I write that turns females off it could be the picture I have up, which, I dont even know what I had put up. or maybe I'm destin for a life of bachelorhood, of loneliness. ...... sure would be ashame to waist a caring-thoughtful-romantic guy.
