Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! It's pouring down rain
again today (thunderstorms are typical this time of year). I'm watching
the hummingbirds sipping at the feeder. The feeder hangs under the
eaves so it is sheltered, but the tiny birds are getting soaked getting
to it. It must be hard to be a hummingbird.

Thank you again for the kind birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday Jill! I haven't read here in a while and didn't get to
your birthday thread yet, or maybe never. But I'm glad I wasn't totally
late in sending wishes!

LOLOL Um... at my age that's not likely to happen.

Hopefully your 17 year old granddaughter is not. I got a birthday phone
call from my 93 year old aunt today. I don't think she's pregnant,
either.

Money is better than morality. She may live another 30 years, but she
could check out in five leaving a young child with money but no mother.
Irresponsible, IMO.

I'd need to see a varifiable citation... a woman with several
doctorate degrees has to be intelligent enough not to give birth to a
child at age 67.

I remember after I transferred out of the equipment section and had to
go back there for something with my new co-worker. We were talking to
one of the mechanics who had recently remarried (a much younger woman)
and had a child. My co-worker asked how old he was and the mechanic said
55. Jim said "Are you ****ing nuts?"

Think about the poor kids of elderly parents. Aside from the fact that
the older the mother is the more likely she is to have problems, older
parents don't have the energy to deal with babies and young children and
they are less likely to have a network of support. The kids will still
be in high school when the parents retire.

My wife's father was almost 50 when she was born. He was older than my
grandmother.

She can't "insure" an orphaned child for emotional security/recovery
following the death of their lone parent. Buying her a succession of
paid nannies won't fill the relationship gap. Perhaps rich Mother is
going to buy the orphan a father instead?

A 67 yr old Spanish woman who gave to IVF twins, then died at 69.
