My wife fell, and since she's pregnant, we called the OB/GYN
Told us to get our asses to the hospital (had to cancel dinner plans), so the baby's heart was monitored for the last 4 hour, determined no leakage from the placenta, did ultrasound twice (I'm sure they did it just to make sure the baby's OK). Fortunately our insurance company has been paid to the max deductible, so we don't pay a dime for this service rendered. Turned out the wife and the baby is OK. But my Donkeys didn't make it *sob*..

Guess it's just one of those nights....

She can't go anywhere alone - her balance is WAY off - and she's short statured (5'2") and a bit obese...

5. If she is truly obese..
.. she is probably aware. They've probably discussed it already between them as a health issue.

Good thing the kid is ok though.

13. Petty and disrespectful.
Is the issue most would have. I cannot speak to their relationship, I can speak to the general impression some may have.

9. Hey, congratulations on your upcoming baby, I'm
glad all is well, and you're bemoaning the Broncos/Donkeys loss? :rofl:

As 'they' say, it's only a game.

10. IF you knew my uncle and my cousin.
They live and die with the Broncos...

Now these cheap bastards won't give me their 50 yard line seats!!!

I got instilled with Broncos fever back in '87, when their first of two failed SB run until the following decade hit it.

Never looked back. Until I learned Elway was a Rethuglican and so is Mike Shanahan, my faith was strong, and now....

Eh.

11. And is this your first child?
:D

I'm a Giants fan. And I think they won't be going to the SB, but so what? They did good this year. ]


And only the gods know.
