My gf and I have known each other for about 4 months and she wants a baby, now. Meaning, she wants either for us to start trying to get pregnant or to adopt. She says it shows whether I'm really committed to the relationship or not. I say we haven't known each other long enough to take such a big leap, that we should spend time as a couple first, get married then a kid when the time is right for both of us. I feel like I'm being pushed into a situation I'm not sure we're ready for, and she feels like her needs aren't being met, that I'm going to keep her "in limbo" indefinitely.

She's in her early 40s and wants to have a baby more than anything. I understand about the biological clock, and to her it's now or never. She says she understands the risks of having a baby at this age and is willing to do it, and wants me to either get on board or get out of the way.

I do love her, but I think it's too soon. I'm also disturbed that she would make a decision like this unilaterally, without much discussion. She has made it clear from the beginning she wants a baby, I just didn't think it would be so soon. I don't feel I have a lot of time to decide.

So, what I'm wanting to ask is what people's opinions are. Serious answers only please. Thanks for any input/advice anyone has to offer.

Currently I've come into a stuck situation where I'm having some difficulty obtaining a car loan. I have bad credit due to several past layoffs, and I'm now working on recovering from that. I'm wanting to purchase a used truck for about $13,000 and I already have about $7000 saved for a down payment. I make a good steady salary now ($70k/yr) and I could probably get the difference paid off in a matter of months. However, I can't get banks or credit unions to finance me (they all but laughed at me when I applied) and I'd really rather not go with one of those rinky-dink operations that require a 60 month loan at 25% on their car lots only.

I don't mind paying the higher interest rate as I'm expecting this, and the vehicle I'm looking at is from a private person and not a dealership, so I have to obtain financing myself. Does anyone have any ideas to finance something for a shorter term, maybe 12-24 months for $4000-6000?

Any ideas?? Serious answers only please.

I'm interested in finding more bands like Fear Factory, Chimaira, Hatebreed, Pissing Razors, Dagoba, Machine Head, Zyklon, etc. I'm not interested in metalcore/emo/melodic/nu or anything Swedish. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've been lifting for a while and am exploring different, and safe, natural supplement options. No steriods for me!
