@imimms87 I think it's way awesome you work in AIDS research you don't hear that very often ... I've thought of research nursing (probably much different from what you do) for a very brief moment but seems like it'd be a very difficult job
I have two dogs (a husky and a gsd), two cats, and some fish.
I didn't list them as my children...
I am pretty sure that is directed to me. I wasn't paying close attention when filling it out and now I feel silly.
I do love my cat very much but he is not my child. My old neighbor refers to her cat her son and I never thought anything of it until I actually had a child. Now it does rub me the wrong way.
