Adopt a newborn baby at the age of 48; the first child for both of you.

Sure, some stress from the baby but more from the complete change of your world. A world that's been the same for a long time.
But, I'd do it again.

TunaDad was getting screamed at by his then-girlfriend. He picked her up with one arm, carried her, literally kicking and screaming (and hitting and swearing) to the door, deposited her gently (more than I would have!) on the mat, locked the door and walked back to where I was standing and said:

"Sometimes I think castration is really the only answer"

Decide to go wheel-to-wheel racing, in a fast class, and run at the front.

Live with a low-grade brain tumor.

Interact with a teenager. Talk to one, run into one, god forbid you have to work with one. It takes about 4 words out of their mouths before I remember that curb scene in American History X and have to stop myself from reenacting it.

Making babies is a whole lotta fun. Raising them is a different story. I've practiced making them plenty, but no desire to actually bring one into the world.

If you are not from Texas, don't ever marry someone that is. Unless you like hearing 20 times a day how they are from Texas and how in Texas.. BLAH BLAH BLAH /suicide.

Also wouldn't suggest having a kid with them.

I can't believe I forgot this one. Happen to suffer a bad batch of birth control. My baby's mom, and 12 other girls that just we know, all got pregnant around the same time, while on the same birth control. Funny, you still can't sue even when it's a regional problem.

True, if I had a maintained bike trail directly to work I could commute on, it would be a lot less stressful.

A 1+ hour commute via car or public transit is would be stressful no matter what. That's 25% of my free time on weekdays...

Must have been quite the party y'all had. Video?

My last job had me commuting 50-miles/1-hour each way. Doing to rough math of 50-weeks per year x 5-days per week x 2-hours per day/24-hours = almost 3-full weeks of my life each year lost to the commute.

When I was in my 20's that seemed like a dream come true, but it certainly wasn't when I hit my 40's. I work from home now and have zero regrets in my change of career/employer.

Be party to a bankruptcy of a firm you sold out of a couple years back while at the same time starting a competitive company only now due to a non compete clause I can not help either my old company nor can I contact any of my old clients.

It is like watching two trains heading towards each other and you are standing by the switch that if changed would vastly mitigate the situation but if you touch it you will have to pay hundreds of thousands even though you are the good guy.

No not that I could pay it off tomorrow. I under bought in purpose. It is just for some reason the whole mortgage thing is stressful. The process mainly. Maybe it I the whole finance thing in general. Company's, personal, employees, investments. It can make my head hurt some days.

I don't find my mortgage to be stressful at all. I do think that most often those with too much house find it stressful. (Not saying you are in this camp.)

I dunno, I'm going though the whole buying a house thing right now and it hasn't been too bad so far.

For me, the problem seems to be opening my mouth. Tends to get me in more trouble than it's worth, even if my intentions are good.

Also, never try to date someone you have to see every day anyway. When things go south, it really sucks.

I dated my boss's secretary for a few months. The next performance review got pretty uncomfortable after it began with "So, you and ..."
