Egg-freezing

[Candy]

Egg-freezing gives women extra time on biological clock

The trend has the potential to rewrite the script for young adulthood, allowing women to further defer marriage and motherhood. Female fertility peaks at age 27 and by age 40, the chance of getting pregnant is less than 10 percent. By freezing their eggs, women can be relatively free of their biological clock's stressful drumbeat.

In contrast, a 37-year-old woman undergoing traditional in vitro fertilization has about a 35 percent chance of giving birth. Egg freezing is typically not recommended after age 37.

Well, it looks to be too late for me. :)

We could always adopt.

We could always adopt.

Only if he's a 6'2" 17 year old Puerto Rican boy. :wink:

If you'll settle for 5'5" and Spanish, I can sell you one of my friends...

Act quickly, though. He turns 18 in november...

Well, I was wanting him a little taller for entirely selfish reasons, but neocracker might not object.

Well, in that case, I'll know a few hunderd bucks off the price. Although there was that one time I paid him $10 to wear high-heels...

HA! So he can grow 2-3 inches pretty quickly! Just be prepared to hand out 10s quite often.

Wait until neocracker sees this thread. You'll be sending your friend to him C.O.D. He likes sexy high-heels.

Be careful, though... he steals cookies and caffeinated beverages out of your lunchbox! :x

So, let's discuss price...

I need to do some googling to see what the fair market price for him would be... 8)

Little does neocracker know what I am getting him into. :P

Neo lives in Atlanta.

[hippietrekx]

Well, that would explain his "location" under his avatar...

I found this site.

According to them, a baby is worth $50,000.

He's getting near his expiration date, so I'll take off $10,000.

And he's short. -$5,000.

Then there's the stealing thing... -$2,000.

Um... He's sorta on so -$3,000.

Oh, yeah, he's got TERRIBLE grades. -$5,000.

And he's lazy. -$5,000.

Let's not forget his metal music and punk rock image. -$4,000

He's annoying. -$6,000

And stays up until 5 am and wakes at 5 pm. -$3,000

Wait, I need shipping money and pet-crate charges. +$200

GRAND TOTAL...................................... $7,200.

Yes, for a meer $7,200 you, too, can own your very own... um... average, depressed, and apathetic teenage boy!

I think I need to re-think my selling points....

--hippie

[Candy]

GRAND TOTAL...................................... $7,200.

If you knock off 7K, I'm sure neo would take him for a day.

[hippietrekx]

Bah, if I wanted to get rid of him for a day, I'd ignore him, get his self esteem down, and then he won't come to school for a day, and apologize profusely in e-mails for whatever he did.

I found that he does this every time I'm buzy and don't have much time to talk to my friends, and he thinks I'm angry. Boys...

Ok, I'll go down another $3,000 for the self-esteem thing.

So, that's $4,200. I mean, I hve to profit somehow!

--hippie

[Candy]

See this thread! :)

[hippietrekx]

See this thread! :)

Ok, so he'll live with you forever... -$2,000

Now he's down to $2,200. That still enough for me to buy a car so when I go to college I can drive home very weekend and beg for money and ramen noodles! :D

--hippie

[Candy]

Post a photo for neocracker, please. :wink:

See how I'm pawning him off on neo. I don't think I could handle a teenage boy for more than an hour or two.

[hippietrekx]

Umm... hmm... I can't seem to find one right now on my hard drive... Oh wait! I forgot about the one in the "Torture" file in "My photos"...



My friend and I got bored... Like the bottom of the picture says...

Um... you can't see really well, and that was from the 8th grade before he lost 30 pounds... because he was depressed... 'cause he had no friends.

Then he met katie and dom... you know, the picture killers.

--hippie

P.S. He's easy to entertain. A PS2, web connection, cable tv, some Mountain Dew, and a bathroom, and he's set for about 10 years!

[Candy]

I don't want to hurt your friends feelings, but I'm going to have to go back to the idea of freezing my eggs.

[hippietrekx]

Bah, you can't make him feel anymore like crap!

He told me he was chewing on glass yesterday... And it didn't hurt, but some got stuck between his teeth...

I mean, if I had to knock anymore off the price for him, I'm not profiting! I'd wind up paying you to take him!

I think I'll keep him for now, and find someone who likes fungus (well, he has the needs of fungus!) to buy him. He's like a whole new species!

--hipster

P.S. Maybe I could sell him as the "Missing Link?"

[Lance]

P.S. Maybe I could sell him as the "Missing Link?"

Missing link?

Between humans and fungus?

Humungus?

Humungus?

Sure! I mean, he has the qualities of both humans and fungus. Well, I'm not so sure about human. Maybe Romulan. His ears are kinda pointy, but he has no logic. Really. None. One time he was mad because his tv was turning on. He had the back casing ripped off of the screen and was randomly saudering wires together. I walked in, looked at it for less than a second, and PLUGGED IT IN! The end of the cord was in plain sight too. Even with his horrible "electrical" (not sure I can really call it that!) job, the thing turned on. The red color gun is screwed up though, and people look green...

ok, rant over.

Did you tell your friend when you heard babies fetched $50,000, you tried to sell him on the internet, and the price got down to $2,200 before you gave up? That might really help with the self-esteem issue...

Actually, yes. His face lit up and he said, "I'm worth two grand!?"



He confuses me. Often. Like that one time at lunch when he walked up to me smiled, and smashed my lunchbox (actually, it's a small brown paper bag covered in duct tape) with all of it's contents with his fist with out looking away from me. Do you know how hard it is to eat cheesy cracker dust and paper thin peanutbutter and jelly sandwitches?

later that lunch period I stole all of the pepperoni off of his pizza. :D

You did tell him that was the asking price, but nobody took it, right?

Can't say that is within the realm of my experience these days, but I've got to say, this information is not going to help you make the sale...

--hipster

That'll show him!

[hippietrekx]

well, turning his pizza into a cheese variety did make him depressed. It's easy to do that.

He didn't want to be sold unless he got a cut anyway.

If he were being sold for a dollar, not even I would buy him. Why do you think I'm trying to sell him? I mean, besides profit. Even I wouldn't sell my friend that's paranoid of cancer, and she's really annoying and on the verge of woo-wooishness. Well, that's becuase she believes anything. One time she ran up to me witha picture of a black hole... :x I had to explain to her that it was an artist's conception, and that black holes really can't have their pictures taken. I was given a blank stare in return.

I think you need to work on your sales technique :)
