Missing option: my child/children Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

It wasn't included because this poll is in honor of St. Valentine's Day (romantic love).	[reply]
Re^3: The greatest love of my life is: by moritz (Cardinal) on Feb 15, 2011 at 09:06 UTC
But "my capacity for alcohol" and "a MMPOG" qualify as romantic love? I can't seem to follow that kind of logic... Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

Good choice, should've thought of it. There is a point when I would have chosen that myself (when my son was very young), but he just bought his first house and his girlfriend occupies far more of his time than I do. OTOH, my relationship with my wife remains consistent...	[reply]

It's 11 years for my wife and me, I can't help thinking about her every moment, even I m now in Canada while she's in my hometown China. She is my greatest love even in the future life. Good news is I will go back to reunite with her and our lovely son next month. Happy valentine's day everyone!	[reply]

If the question remains "The greatest love of my life is" instead of "The greatest love of my life was", I really pity you. I'm at 6745 days (18 y, 5 m, 18 d) now, and without a day of regret. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

Out of all the weird/psychotic choices, "the Jets" is the one that sent chills down my spine.	[reply]

At the time I proposed the poll, the Jets were all the buzz in making the playoffs. That was in December... 8-) OTOH I know as much about American football as I do about playing bag pipes, which is to say nothing.	[reply]

9244 days for my wife and I. It helped that someone told me early on that marriage (and later, parenthood) would be easier to take if I just kept one thing in mind: nothing is ever going to be the same. Once you have digested that thought, it's really very easy.	[reply]
