Is it [sad]? It didn't bring on any feelings of unhappiness in me.
Nice play on words. I didn't notice it originally. However, I meant, was that it was an unusual occurance to look up my b-day in my bio.
The fact that you can ask that question of me is fantastic. I was born with a condition that I've seen written in medical books described as "Incompatible with life" (those very words). Which means that for every day I am alive I am happy - not sad.
What condition do you have?

Not really, you made an age related comment (Saying you were 15 and that maybe you should get married later in life) so I just looked up your bio so I could make a comment of the number of days left until a point "later in your life" that you could get married. Actually, I don't know the age that you can get married in your area, but in Scotland it is 16.

What condition do you have?
I have a condition known as Transposition of the Great Vessles. What is means is that the plumbing in the heart is shot. In a normal person blood travels round the body in a figure-8 circuit. Heart to Lungs to Heart to Body to Heart. However when I was born I had two parallel figure O circuits. Heart to Lungs to Heart. Heart to Body to Heart. So you can see how that is "incompatible with life"
Anyway, a newborn is too small to undergo the corrective surgery so what they do is punch a hole in the heart which at least allows oxygen (if not efficiently) to get round the body. Also, my parents were told that on no account was I to cry or become distressed as this would place extra strain on the heart which wasn't capable of handling the extra load. At 6 months the main corrective surgery takes place. I am also taking a drug called an ACE Inhibitor which reduces blood pressure. The reson for this is that the plumbing in the heart normally has a low pressure part (the circuit round the lungs) and a high pressure part (the circuit round the body) but in my case they are the opposite way round.
Anyway, If you have any other questions I'm happy to answer them.

I'm glad that you are alive. CodeProject just wouldn't be the same without you.
Do you still have to watch your stress level?

You're glad! How do you think I feel!

I don't often get stressed, so it isn't really a factor.

I guess pretty happy, elated, joyous or something like that.

Yes, I go to CP a lot, but would you believe me if I told you I frequent the W3C to read their specifications?
As for growing them early... No kidding

Aw! Man! You deleted half your bio. (Okay - You don't need to say it).
[Any you probably want to know why I looked it up... Again... Well - I like your sense of humour and I was looking to see why I hadn't spotted your posts before. And the reason, you've only been a member 3 months and only have 50 posts so far]
End of <<sad>> commentry.

Yeah, my parents didn't like me broadcasting all that info on the web.

Well, if you like my sense of humor... I'll try to write another good bio just for you.

Warcraft III is ok. My acquaintances (rember, I don't have friends) play it a lot and have been pressuring me to buy it, but I won't ever play it.
I used to have a life once though... It was a long time ago. I think I briefly rember glimpses of Command & Conquer 95.
Seriously though, I go to the W3C for fun to read their tr's.

I voted poor even if I am married. After all,
my wife and I, together, put in 13 days of work per week (out of a possibility of 14)
Not to say that we work together. We don't. Still, we tend to get as much quality time together as poossible. But since I work a lot, I get pretty tired pretty often, so, even if I am with
my wife, the quality time is not so great - we tend to do some of the simpler, passive activities, like watching movies and all that.
Then there are activities with others. My life is full enough with work + wife so that I usually don't run after others, but my wife does and wants me around. We don't get enough time to see others.
Then my dog wants us to walk with it, but I am always so tired, I hardly ever do it.
Do I sound depressing or what ?

Depressing...Take care of the dog and take it for a walk.
