  1. Okay, so I'm sitting here on Friday night and the phone rings. Heather, daughter # 2 (who is 27) on the line. "Um, dad, are you sitting down? Holly just had a baby.” (Holly is daughter # 2, who is 24.) So, that makes me a Grampa… I just turned 51, so I guess I’m in that age range now. (Although I think I’m way too cool to be a Grampa, plus – I don’t even have grey “pubes” yet). But, here’s the part that has to do with the title of this thread. Not only did I not even know Holly was pregnant, SHE didn’t know either! She lives 3 hours from me, but her mom lives in the same town as she does and sees her every other day or so. She didn’t know she was pregnant either… nor, did her boss, her friends or her hubby. She had been complaining about stomach cramps and bad gas for the few days before, but figured she just had to drop a “Subway Bun” caliber shit. She said she’d gotten all of her periods, didn’t gain any weight, and didn’t see any belly… For chrise-sakes, MY BELLY is bigger than hers and I’m 5’9” and I weight about 160… she’s not a stick (5’8” and 140) but she’s not fat either. I’ve heard of this before but it's usually with heavy girls who don’t really notice the belly. So, she’s in the shower on Friday evening. She started feeling dizzy, so she decided to lay down with the shower still going, plug out, thankfully. And, then all of the sudden – wait for it – yep… here comes the head… and the shoulders… and the belly… and the feet… holy shit! CAN YOU IMAGINE? She yells out to her hubby, he comes running in and there she is lying in the tub with a baby in her arms. He calls 9 -11 (How he didn’t faint, I’ll never know), they talk him through how to tie off the cord… he does it. Paramedics show up, cut the cord and bring her to hospital. Bottom line – a perfectly healthy girl, 6 pounds 6 ounces. (About the size of a really good smallmouth bass.) Holly has NO signs of pregnancy, no stretch marks, no weight gain. And, she even said to me, “Dad, my vagina didn’t even tear!” (Okay, a little TOO much info, there kid. But, great just the same.) As soon as I heard this, I hopped in my truck, drove the 3 hours… just got back this morning. Just spoke to her, all is fine. I still can’t believe this. I don’t have a clue how to post pictures on here but I’d like to. OMFG!
  2. I always wondered about this and seeing the pictures the other day of Rush (with Neil) playing an outdoor festival in St. Louis back in '75, really made me think about it. Let's say, that John Rutsey stayed in the band for whatever reason (better health, musical styles didn't clash with Alex and Geddy), what would have become of Rush? 1 - Would they have "made it" to the level they eventually did? I say no way... adding Neil was the key element that made Rush go the progressive route (which is what made them popular) with his lyrics and influences. Also, his drumming (much better than Rutsey) is one of the main things that early Rush fans loved about the band... I know people who, back in the 70s, would go to Rush concerts just to see Neil play. 2 - Or, would they have fizzled out on the mid-west touring circuit, eventually being pushed out by bands like Styx, Nugent and similar rock bands of the day? Let's face it, the first Rush album is NOTHING like the next four or five... or 18. I couldn't imagine Rush without Neil. For starters, 2112 would never have happened... and that was THE album that really got them out of the shit storm they were in at the time.
