I don't want to have any either. I've never heard one ticking or one
ringing alarm going off. I think my clocks broken and I'm not
bothered by it one bit. My closest friend just gave birth to her #3
last week and I love 'em all. My aunt&uncle have 17 grandkids. We
spend a couple weekends w/ them a year and its a known family joke
that "Michelle shows up for her yearly dose of birth control".
Seventeen short, tall, little, big, smart, goofy, laughing human
pills of BC. ;) Granted I'm single and my mother says, "just wait,
the right man will want kids and you'll want them with him." To
which I say, "mom, the right man won't want kids either."

I personally haven't felt this or noticed it. Not that it doesn't
exist, it just hasn't appeared before me. I'm also just a big kid
myself, like my father (who is 62 and still giggles, a lot. its
really friggin' cute), so maybe I don't pick up on it cause people
are glad I'm not pulling a bunch of mini-michelle monsters around
with me.
having visions of being that long haired, combat boot wearing, flask
toting, owner of 40+ cats old broad the neighborhood kids will one
day call; Old Chellie, The Amonia Lady,
