It is how people respond to stress
hat determines whether they will profit from misfortune
or be miserable

Exacerbating California's Already Sky High Cost of Living Is Not Good Policy
Choose Life: Population Doom?
From 6 younger siblings, I have 21 nephews and nieces (2 still in college) and 17 grandnephews/nieces (and one step grandnephew). (Of course, I've brought down the average, being a solitary man--key Neil Diamond.) Now, of course, the nephews and nieces are all still in child-bearing years, and a number are still unmarried, but a couple of siblings still don't have grandkids, and 2 more (with 8 kids between them) have only 1 each. (One niece has 5 and a nephew has 4.) But of the last 6 who have married over the last 5 years or so, only 2 have started their families. (In contrast, my Mom had 6 before she turned 30.) To the best of my knowledge, 3 of my most recent college graduate nephews are unattached. Ironically, just 1 of my grand relatives bears the family surname (my middle brother's son is gay).Oddly enough, of the 6 most recently married, all hold college degrees and most probably have above-average incomes. I adore little kids. My youngest grandniece is absolutely adorable, about 8-9 months old. My nephew and his spouse are graduate-degree engineers and somehow put together a standard down payment in southern California (cf. last clip). I can't wait until I meet the little sweetheart in person for the first time. I'm always pestering my sister for the newest photos and video clips of her first granddaughter.
