Our Federal Government currently pays a $3,000.00 baby bonus in its desire to have more consumers.

We don't even get a dollar when we have a kid over here. Sad

A 3,000$ bonus from what I hear of how much a baby costs the first few years is a good thing. Smile

Hey Dimitri,
Don't under estimate yourself.
I would love to have you wait for a few years, and then get together with my Daughter Hope.
You have the absolute moral values that I would look for in a husband for my Hopey.

Ooh-oh...I hear match makin'...RUN Big D, RUN!!!

Don't worry about the ladies, Dimitri...You already have what most of the girls want. A man with a steady job... Very Happy

Heh Eric, Interesting proposal, thats the 2nd time a guy has told me something very similar. Shocked

Guess if I do meet your daughter I shouldn't call her "Hopey" huh ?? Last time I called a girl by her dads nick name for her she got upset. Laughing

Bushy,

The steady job is going to go out the door in 10 years when I retire. Laughing

Bushy,

You'll see I'm going to be a retired bum in 10 years working 12+ hour days in the little hobby shop I want to make. Very Happy

Assuming it all goes to plan. Cool

'Mitri, I'm proud of ya mate.....mapping out your life like that is good...however, I have some news for ya mate...and it's all bad !!

Don't forget our little Irish mate MURPHY and his Law. Now that you've let him know what your plans are he will be working flat strap to throw a spanner in the works. Very Happy

Good Luck mate

I just need to save a wee bit of money, even if I end up living out of my shop for a couple of years, it will be worth it. Very Happy

That makes a bit of sense mate.

Another thing you will find annoying is the time you sit around with next to nothing to do. I don't think you ever get used to that, especially if you have led a very active life and need to be doing something.

Cheers, Vince

'Mitri; was it those long, cold Canadian winter nights? Very Happy

They have some charming countries that have tried similar programs. '30s and '40s Germany, India (THEY need something) and of course, the Chicoms. (I know , not Politically Correct, but far as I know, the leopard hasn't changed its spots.) Confused
