My eldest daughter has just set off to hospital to have her first child and my first grand child. Her waters broke but she's not in labour so she's off to be induced. She may give birth today, Sunday, or more likely Monday. I am seriously panicking now!  :yay:

Thanks! Just crapping myself and hoping everything goes all right with the birth. She is at the major hospital in the area so they are all kitted out to deal with any surprises.

Congrats!

I'll think some good thoughts for you and your family (plus I'll worry with you if it helps ;-)

Happy Baby!

Does that mean you are no longer a Leclerc, but a T-34?  :P

Congrats!

Now would be a good time to bone up on how to spoil grandchildren.

Oh, and you need to choose the way ou want to be addressed. "Grampa" is very 19th century. How about Dabadoo or Skipper?
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

Congrats to you and your family! Now, read the cover of your "Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy", and Don't Panic!  :D
A toast to Tank, er, Grampa?

Cheers,

Thanks folks!

Lennon (it's a boy) will probably be born today.

I'm off now until the 15th Dec as I have all my assignments to finish. I have asked Whitney to suspend my account up to and including the 15th so I won't be posting anything. I'll tell Velma what is going on and get her to post pictures for me.

See you all on the 16th!

Regards
Chris

That was class, that was...*laffin*. But in his current state of mind I'd have called him a runaway Bren Gun Carrier...with no Bren...and a track missing....cause he's probably running in circles.

Congrats Tankmeister!!
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.
