I'm getting a Vasectomy next week!!

3,704 4,318 August 18, 2011 at 11:13 AM in Question
Limited OT, please.

Okay.......I'm getting snipped. EEK!

My GF's okay with it, but I'm kinda concerned how I break it to my little rich and cranky Grammy that the line will now end with me. I'm 40 and she still thinks any minute I'm going to get married and produce an heir. Hate to tell her but no little future Jon Boy nor Angus will ever appear in this lifetime. My sister has two children ( one boy and one girl ) but because they don't have the family surname, my Grandmother pretty much thinks they don't really count. She thinks we're all blue bloods and therefore "special" and already has big plans for my future MALE offspring. ( baby girls would be pampered but basically ignored, of course ).

Now isn't that special? Rofl2


Any ideas how I can tell my Grandmother ( after the surgery, of course, as she'll try to put a stop to it if she knows ahead of time ) without endangering my life, my peace, and of course, despite my lame protestations of not wanting it, my eventual huge inheritance? I wouldn't put it past her to have me committed, pay the doctor off, or her feign a stroke or heart attack to stop me, so I prefer to tell her when it's a done deal.

Also, has anybody here had a vasectomy and could maybe give me some assurance that it's not really all that painful or dangerous and that ( big ) Sam The Sham and The Pharoahs will all still work correctly?

Discuss. Big Grin

Post #100, where you were mocking him - and please do not say you were not - it's obvious to anyone whom read that, maybe my words were not quite correct when I said "attack", it should have been "mocking" instead.

Quote from cgrady :
I think you've got it backwards - mad scientist's post is the one that looks like an attack, implying that his genes aren't worth continuing.

Perhaps you should step back and reconsider your initial overreaction (and stop calling the kettle black, as it were) Smilie
Iagree

I don't have a problem with someone openly calling someone out about attacking someone else but if you do it ought to be done fairly. To not call out Mad Scientist for initiating the attack in the first place is pretty hypocritical to me. And to fault someone for "attacking" or "mocking" someone else seems kind of weak when in turn you attack and mock that person in every post in the thread.

If I can be serious for a second... JSinger I think your need to mention how rich everything around you is comes off a bit Donald Trumpy. Just saying.

I think ANYONE who decides to not have children should be applauded.

Mad Scientist explained himself about what he said, and I'm fine with that nod

Though with your thought process, it was A-Okay for JS to attack/mock me - correct?
Sorry, it doesn't work that way - it's a two-way street. I gave/he gave - we both gave as good on both ends, as far as I'm concerned - I'm over it - I have thick skin - you have to - to be here in the Lounge Wink

He pronounced me immature so I had no choice but to show why I'm not. If mentioning my financial staus isn't pertinent to a measure of a man's maturity, then I suppose all those now bankrupt lottery winners are really mature. And guess banks really shouldn't judge people who apply for loans with a bad credit history. Maybe Burt Reynolds is more mature than I am, as I hear after making millions and millions upon millions of dollars he is close to losing his home in Florida due to not having made payments in over a year. Same thing happened to Ed McMahon.

If I'm so immature I would have squandered all my money on drugs, alcohol, gambling, women, partying, or plain foolishness. I also added that I have no criminal record, a good reputation, and don't abuse drugs or alcohol. Does me stating that make me bragging or does it offend you or is it just the money part that's the problem? I've already stated I'm not rich whatever, only my Grandmother is. I can't help that. I'm just a little fortunate and smart enough to take care of what I do have. That doesn't make me a braggart, just me being honest and able to defend myself with facts. If my stating those facts make you uncomfortable or resentful, I can't do anything about that.

Just saying.

Without you getting all defensive - it might have been easier just to say you are quite comfortable financially - and do not need to rely on your Grandmother - nice pat answer without a lot of detail.

There are many here that are comfortable financially, yet they do not go into detail. I'm being serious with you right now, without being smart about this.

You were being mature with a decision at the beginning of this thread stating why you did not want children - something many people have thought about. Then it got hi-jacked with the Grandmother comments. Then it got further hi-jacked. When in reality had it not - your initial reasons were quite valid.

Attacking Mad Scientist, shows your lack of credibility and you certainly do need to grow a set and grow up as well - he has been nothing more than a gentleman on this board - and there was no reason to attack him in the manner in which you did so - again - shows your utter lack of in "breeding in character". Maybe your Grandmother was correct - you "are common" bounce

Let's see, Mad Scientist initiates a confrontation with JSinger and he responds in a like manner and it is the result of a lack of "breeding in character".

You initiate a confrontation with JSinger and when he responds in a like manner he is "common"

Scratchchin

I guess I am having trouble with the math here.

It just doesn't seem right when everyone else gets to travel on a two way street and poor JSinger is expected to obey the one-way signs. Dontknow

Regardless of your attempt to appear normal and reasonable in this post, nobody's buying. Why are you still here running your mouth? I could care less what you think or what you think is valid. I don't need instructions or advice from you on how or what to post in my own thread. I don't recall sending you an engraved invitation or a plea for your help, either. So go away. Too late to act normal now. You said way too much all throughout this thread. Be done with it now. If anyone is being immature it's the person who won't shut up when asked to do so in someone else's threads.

Just like it would have been easier for you to say something along the lines of:

"Your issues with your grandmother should not be a reason to get a vasectomy. It seems a bit childish."

instead of:
Quote from Piccaboo :
Iagree

You should NOT have children - whom would want to be part of your "genes" !!!!

Grandmother is totally incorrect with this !!!!
I get that you like to tell people about your "tell it like it is" attitude, but there's a fine line between offering the truth and being a bitch. Just saying Wink5
