Laura asked me last night what purpose our lives serve if we don't have kids? She's right. I would sit and play video games my entire life, learn as much as I could and then die. Seems pointless. It doesn't shake my fear though.
I dont' know what your spiritual beliefs are, but I have a couple of Bible references if you are interested...
If you are not, then I will leave you with a quote from one movie:
Fear profits man nothing.
The 13th WarriorAnd one Book:
When we have tragedy in life, we get stuck, like getting stuck in the mud. When we are in the mud it feels as if we can never out. But these come to us as great life lessons: it is up to us to pull ourselves out of the mud. Not just once, but time and time again. This is your moment to pull yourself out. To show life that you are bigger than your fears."A Charge of Valor, Morgan J. Rice

@dafyre I studied world religions in college for a bit. I think there are valuable things in all religions, but do not myself subscribe to any particular one.

Let me tell you guys the story of why I feel the way I do about this. Laura and I have a family friend who got pregnant with her husband. They were so happy. Did everything right. The mother was overweight when she got pregnant and developed gestational diabetes (I'm unsure if that contributed to what eventually happened). They went the entire 8.5 months with everything being fine. Got their last checkup before giving birth and the baby had passed away. No real cause given as far as I know. When this happens so close to birth, you still need to give birth the baby even though it isn't alive anymore. This isn't a news story, it's a person I know.
As much as something like this would change me forever (and I really mean forever), I don't think my fear is for myself but rather for Laura. I can't give birth for her. I can't do any of it for her. If something happens I'll be powerless to stop it. That sort of thing.
If we were to suffer a loss, I would still be grateful and full of joy because I got to see, feel, hear and speak to my baby girl, even though she is unborn she has change us forever. The promise of her life no matter how long it will be,for me, surpasses the fear of her death.

@Romo I feel you man. I also think that when my daughter starts dating I may need to kill a young man or two. Assuming I have a daughter (or any child).

I was considering renting a minivan for the weekend for visiting guests, but they want like $175 a day. For a minivan. Insane.

@Minion-Queen I told my boss they're a hardware nightmare. But, the execs want something lighter than the M4800s we've been getting...

We use it for testing we have a client with so many issues with them we frequently test here to figure out the issue.

Are they still? Paul Thurrott has been reporting that MS has resolved most if not all of the problems with the Surface pro 4 and the Surface Book.
The Surface Pro 3 currently is having a battery problem, not sure if it's the batteries themselves or a software issue, thought MS has been quoted as saying they think they can fix it in software.

When we evaluated the SP2, the brand new demo was DOA. I just don't trust it.

One problem about the Surface Pro is that they glued that damn thing like an iPad / Android tablet. iFixit got some reviews about this. Hard to replace or upgrade parts.
