hmm... i actually thought. that is a pretty good chunk of money. and easy right? it's something i produce naturally. haha. having some logic in my head, i did a little research about the process. you take a bunch of hormones for a month, to get a bunch of eggs to mature, then you get sedated and a long needle is poked into you to withdraw the eggs. ouch. and it can really mess up your future fertility. and you could possibly die from it.and 5000$ just doesn't seem worth discomfort and risks like that. so i decided (duh, huh?) that passing on my genetic material, as superior as it is, to strangers is just not a good idea.

I admit, my heart was going pitter pat as you held me in suspense. My flag goes up in the "why not adopt" camp.

But you know, you have a friend who has done this. Ask me about it, and then you can talk to her about it, if you want a first-hand experience retelling.

Suspense writer = your calling in life?

I'm glad it's not egg farmer.

Yea I was looking at that a few days ago too actually, I also found out that you can probably sell 1 sample of your drug free pee to a drug user for $200. I'm going to go hang outside workers comp services with a full bladder today.
