    Wow, that's a great idea. I didn't know that could be done. If you ever get back to that project, please put me on that list. I'd wear it to work frequently.

    I hope it's a nice summer and not blistering hot, for my wife's sake.

    Congratulations to you and your wife, @kaxuma78! Wishing her a smooth delivery/recovery and good health to your son. Would have liked those onesies for my own kids when they were a bit younger.

    My son was born on an April 30th when the mercury hit 101 degrees, no AC in the hospital so it was a bit warm to say the least.

    Bad timing. Not only do I not wear neckties but it has been two months since I wore a shirt with a collar. The gas in my car was purchased in March. Life has changed recently.
    Happy to see you posting.

    @kazuma78, Serious joy and congratulations to you folks. You're a Family now; guess it's legal. ...Now, don't push him or anything.... Liking that squished-up, baby face. And the coins are pretty great, too.
