 GodsRevolt Wrote:I am a 29 year-old husband to one and father to two beautiful girls. I am kind of curious as to why you needed to express the fact that you are husband to "one", as opposed to being husband to more than one? Is the latter a common thing where you are from? As I say, just curious. Anyway, welcome.

Nevermind. Zazzy Wrote:I'm the one who called you a twit. Welcome! I've been posting here for three years, so I am curious why you are just now welcoming me. Why did you call me a twit (then welcome me)? That's a bit odd, don't you think? Moreover, if you called me a twit in the past, why are you reminding me now that you called me a twit? Do you have some special need to do this what we are unaware of?

Since this is an intro thread and given what the OP says, I got it perfectly fine that the first part was to orogenicman and the second to the OP. Clear as water, IMO.
