    Sitting pretty at 30 & have zero intentions of having kids for at least 5 years.

    My dogs are enough responsibility and love I can just put them in a crate with a bowl of food and dip for 8-10 hours. CPS frowns on that with children.

    Getting both of my kids out of diapers and potty trained were awesome days. Knowing I don't have to change another damn diaper :feelsgoodman:

    I am no more than three months from never buying or changing another diaper and I can't wait. That's more beer and bbq money.

    As far as traveling, I use to do that all the time when I was still doing intel. Since I've been going back to school, I've had one conference I've had to travel to and that's it. Honestly, I dont miss the traveling, especially considering some of the shit holes I ended up in.

    Yeah we still buy pull ups for nights because my boys are the deadest sleepers in the world. I'm pretty sure a nuke could go off and they wouldn't even turn over.

    It's funny listening to you guys talk about traveling and how much you hate it, based upon all the airport shit. When I travel, it's always by car, and I'm dreading the overnight trips I'm going to have to make down to southern IL, about a 3-4 hour trip each way. I would lose my shit if I had airline travel on a normal basis.

    I do most of my traveling by car and at this point it doesn't even bother me anymore. I hear people bitch about a two hour drive and to me that's like a trip to Publix for some milk. The good thing about the travel is I haven't paid for a vacation in a long time and the perks when I do fly or take a vacation are top shelf.

    I actually don't travel for work all that often. Maybe 6-7 flights per year. I take a lot of 3-4 day weekends, though, and I usually like to head down to SF or SD, since the flight is short. My friends are strewn about the west coast, for the most part, so I'm typically out of town like that 8-10 times per year. Having to travel that much for work would make me lose my shit.

    Working from home is the greatest thing I've ever encountered in my life. Waking up, enjoying breakfast, not fighting traffic, sitting on the couch to work when you want, being able to do chores around the house when necessary - it's awesome.

    Just turned 38. Lots of gray in the beard and a few up top. Was doing well till I broke my fibula in March. That shit has me still hobbling and I can now predict weather systems.

    Just entered tier 2, just welcomed baby boy #3.

    I love and hate working at home. Right now it's key, because I'm basically getting paid to be on paternity leave, but I've been doing it for almost 4 years now, and I miss an office some days. I consider commuting to the office that I used to work in "travelling now" (and put in an expense report for it - 59 cents a mile plus lunch).

    Busy as shit. Admitted that summer was over and put the hard top on the Jeep, went to Home Depot and bought some paint and patching plaster, did some yardwork and attempted to watch a few football games (but all of the big one). Then did absolutely nothing today other than lay on the couch, eat, take a nap, and eat some more. Zero motivation after losing last night.

    Watched football all weekend..pretty relaxing.

    Think I'm buying a new car finally this week. 2012 Hyundai Sonata Limited . Have a 2006 Sonata right now and love it. Drove one of the new ones for a week a few months back while mine was getting repaired and loved it big time.
