I was thinking: "What would Janet and Chrissy tell Jack to do?"
That story about the grandfather was very sad and disturbing. I'm sorry that person had to remember that.

Here's a confession for ya: I thought for the longest while that it was "hair-brained" and not "hare-brained". I couldn't figure out the sense in that
I find the expression to be extremely disrespectful to my species.
Confession: I wrote this on an application. The place I applied to had excerpt of funny applications posted on their wall and encouraged people to be funny when filling out their application, so:
What did you do about it? (in reference to a previous question about a problem at work)
"We all bitched & moaned on lunch break since the boss didn't seem to be bothered by it.
Standard employee proceedure."

English is a funny thing. There's a lot of debate about that ...
How is having parents your choice?
^ In some Oriental philosophies they believe that unborn children (or better, the souls that are being born again - reincarnation concept) actually choose their parents, in order to fulfill whatever part of their experience/journey is missing.
That's how I remember it, it could be slightly different though.

Happy endings are NOT the aim of the Confessional Thread.
That grandfather story was very sad, my sympathies to whoever it happened to.
Once again I realise I was VERY lucky in my choice of parents.
You time-travelled and are your own father, aren't you?
A couple more:
For that last confession.
Whatever happens, whoever it turns out provided the sperm. Never, ever, forget you are your son's father.
Fatherhood is so much more than chromosones.
Fatherhood (and motherhood) is who gives him the hugs, who helps him through the night, who helps him roll over, helps him crawl, helps him walk, who changes his diapers, who gets vomited on, who gets mushed up carrot spat all over him (that's something to look forward to
)
Enjoy this time, your baby is so precious. Don't waste it wondering who provided the sperm. Find out for medical reasons, and be done with it. YOU are his father.

I was going to respond to the post about the two month old son, but trampledamage said it perfectly.
I do hope it's sorted out for that poor baby's sake. It's not the baby's fault after all, he/she has done nothing wrong at all. It seems completely unfair the baby's treatment should lay in the hands of a soulless, cold, calculating, blood test.
they must have been in a giant cage and he walked by, "Hummm ... I'll take ... THAT ONE. You're a good little mommy, aren't?"

Exactly. Blood-relations only go so far.
There's certainly a lot of love going on ...
"She's lost that lovin' feelin'."

Yep. Blood relations really only do go so far. I haven't seen my biological father since I was eight. But my stepfather is my father. My stepbrother is my brother. We may not have genetics between us but we are more of a family than most biological ones are.
And my biological sister's kids actually think they are going to grow up to be tall like their grandfather, who is 6'6". None of us have thought to tell them that genetically they might have to settle with being 5'10". And yes, I just now realized that. I guess that really does show that we forget that we only related by marriage.
(And the only reason why a genetic test would be necessary in this situation would be to determine parentage for health reasons. Doctors use family histories more and more these days to determine health risks and testing regimens.)

So will we be invited to the weddings of these secret TrekBBS love connections?
If I'm not invited, I'm crashing it anyway!
