RE: Here's why Creatards might be right
We had plans for early summer 2016, probably sometime around our birthdays (she is mid-May, and I am early June).

She and I dated nearly a year when the action of my ex-GF (lies to authorities about me supposedly being a major drug trafficker, out of revenge for replacing her, unfortunately) resulted in my incarceration for the next nine years. So we have been together just over a decade, but much of that was spent in a long-distance relationship, old-school style. Yet she visited me every month, in every place I was ever held, and she and her family came to all of my hearings and trials. [Edit to Add: She was in court the day I was exonerated, too. I was not there, busily enjoying my cage.]

I was already falling pretty hard for this woman, and she with me, which is why we decided to have a baby before I went in; that's our nine-year-old. Over the years, her character as both a partner and a mother, as well as being my favorite friend, has been growing in luminosity. She is The Girl Who Waited, and I have loved her more every day than the day before.

After going through testicular cancer surgery and radiation, the doctors didn't think I would ever have children again... they estimated an average of 6.8 years of trying in order to be successful, which was Bad News™ because I'm 39 and she's 32, and in 7 more years she'll be almost 40 and I'll be in my mid-40s, which increases the chances of many things going badly with a fetal development, sperm quality, etc.

Turned out it only took us one weekend. How do you beat 6.8 years? Wait 9 years, first! We expect him or her (don't know yet; missed an ultrasound appointment due to other emergency) at the end of January. Smile
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Drunk chicks. Gag me with a fork.

Bullshit.
Men love men. Bro love FTW.
I don't hate bro's unless I have a very good reason.
And even if I hate someone I'll tell that to their face and sort it out ;not keep it in mind.

I missed the second part of your question, last night. Yes, she and I met at an E. O. Wilson speech (one of my favorite all-time biologists), in line to have our books signed afterward. She was a senior at the University of Kansas, at the time, about to finish her degree in biology. She now works in a genetics lab, looking (mainly) at aging genes in C. elegans roundworms. She also teaches Sunday School, and helped to run the "Trunk or Treat" event at her church, which is where we took the photo of our son in his zombie pirate gear.
