Lol, then I must be a genius because I don't want kids! Thank you for validation GRB!

You're welcome JC.

If the amount of kids you have completely determines your level of intelligence, then you and I are tied with billions of other people for being the most intelligent person in the world.

I thank god that I am not the smartest person on earth. I can't imagine having to design a highway system or a skyscraper. Many, many people would die.

This is where I am and I wish I'd gotten here sooner. Not that it's really had any effect yet.
I'm there too. I like to think sometimes that I'm pretty smart about a lot of subjects. Including home improvement. But then I remember that my father built my parents' entire house when he was about my age. Crap, I don't know that much--not even close. And even though I've been working in my field of expertise for going on 8 years now, there's still tons of stuff I don't know about. Finally, I think I'm getting dumber with some subjects. I have difficulty spelling some words now. I'm so used to speaking and writing informally (emails) that I sometimes struggle with more formal wording. Getting dumber is teh suck.

I think everyone out there is smart about some subjects, and complete idiots in others. So I try not to get annoyed when people are complete idiots about some things, even though it's hard sometimes. Rudeness bothers me much more than idiots.

I'm pretty smart but I just haven't figured out how to use it to my advantage. So maybe I'm dumb.

I look at "smart and dumb" in two different areas. There are book smarts and common sense. Few people rank highly on both.

This forum reinforces several things for me.

I'm far from being the smartest person in the world. Several posters remind me of this on a regular basis.

I have outgrown the need to purposely do stupid things. It still unintentionally happens all the time.

I must be pretty smart because we only had one kid. :wink:
