h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ah I see

We still have a good handful of months before we approach the travel people anyway. And then, that's only assuming a little pile of cash grows enough. I'm still trying different fertilizers, and occassionally sending empty shoe-boxes to gardiners in the hopes they'll send some back.

So it was you was it

If I had an address, I might just do something so foolish.

And the postage wouldn't even cost much.

I wonder who it was

It seems odd enough, to receive what appears to be empty. And then, if there was no return address?

I think someone may have wanted to send him something and mearly forgot to put whatever it was in

And probably felt very silly when they got home from the post office, to find the what-ever still sitting on the counter or table.

probably

I know that I have (half-ways) done that, wrapping bundles for the kids and grand-kids. Get it all taped and addressed, ... and see one more blouse, or a toy, sitting there. Too bad, I think, and away it goes.

Until the next time

There is always a mound of stuff accumulating, awaiting the next mailing anyway.

I know that feeling

Ya think that the worries and expenses will end once they grow up? Nawwww, it just goes on and on. It's wonderful.

Thanks for the warning

Ah yes, you're not too many years away from possibilities of another generation, are you? And those years fly very quickly.

Another 8 years I hope

I was a little surprised at how 'early' my girl made her first little one. But then on reflection, she was very close to the same age as myself and her mother were. And atleast she had finished proper schooling, and was intentionally with her guy.

I was 26 when I had Alex

Geez, in some circles you would have been considered an old maid and a spinster and other such stuff.
