What? WHAT? Speak a little louder so I can hear you!

In the morning I've got to round up doc, and brand 100 head of baby cows but if I get done in time, I'm going to swim to the UK and kick Pet Corn Snake's butt. :angry01:

Well, don't forget to send us a postcard. And the cookies, tea, and soaps are supposed to be top-notch in the UK, so don't let them distract you from your mission! ;)
 
In a couple of weeks I will hit the big Five-O, and I wouldn't trade places with any of you.. I had a great childhood being a kid in the 60's. My teens were spot on in the 70's. I got to follow punk into the 80's. I had a well rounded youth..LOL
Better still I got children that I can educate and show the way to. I look at what I got and feel I have achieved something... No I wouldn't swap anyone.

haha! well, I didnt mean any offence, but everyone from the age of 8-100 watch's soaps in the UK, it's just at your age people can do whatever they want without worrying about all this crap, college, school ect.. Yea you have had to worry about it in the past, but you dont have to now, do you? unless in the USA you retire at like 90? because we leave work and stuff at 60-65 here

If you make it to 90 then you are one lucky person!

Over here, people retire based on what job they have or had. My dad is 60 and he is partly-retired. He just works from his laptop out of the house and travels a little. I know a man who is 70 and he is still running his car business. There is also a neighbor who is around 40 and he is full-time retired and plays golf all the time. So I guess it depends on the job you had and how much money you have right now.
 
Oh yeah it matters alot on how much $$$ you got... Didn't P. Diddy (or whatever his name is now) retire already? And he's like 39 or something.
 
Had a kid at 37 (well, my wife did, but as far as I know, I had a role in it. :eek1:). That combined with not the best retirement savings planning and I expect to be able to comfortably retire about 36 months after I pass away.
 
Well based on the way things are going: I predict that in 20-30 years we'll be worrying about global cooling, just like it was way back whenever(1930's or was it the 70's, not sure?). Another 20-30 years after that and we'll be worrying about global warming again and I bet you can guess what happens 20-30 year after that...RIGHT!!! Global cooling again!:eek:(Reapeat the entire process until people find their brains and get some common sense.):rolleyes:;)

Don't just sit there! The temperature might actually raise 2 degrees in a hundred years, so if we don't act fast...lol:rofl:

You hit it on the head Mike. I wouldn't trade either.

You know 5 years ago, I was 52. Some how that doesn't seem to matter as much as it did when I was 15.
 
Just keep living 'til you stop. How's that for a genius statement?
So far I've enjoyed every stage of my life.
Take each day as another chance to see what happens that day.
Don't think "I don't want to do that, it's hard"; do it and it will be one more thing that you will KNOW if you can do.
Try everything, scared is part of it, and part of the fun of it. You'll either do well or not do well, so what. That's YOUR business.
Don't dwell on bad things that happened to you, it happened, its done, can't go back, go forward.
Help others and try to enjoy everyone. I know with some people you can't really do that, but you don't know that right off the bat, so give everyone the same chance.


Oh yeah, don't take pills for minor ailments, no matter what they say about them helping you. It's just another poison for your body to deal with as it tries to deal with the original problem.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

Cue David Bowie's 5 years, lol

I kind of like this life just how it is. If the world as we know it ends, that will be fun too. I could take it either way but isn't it great to be living?

I know what you mean too George, I'm in my thirties now, but the me in my mind sometimes thinks he's 19, lol... Time flies.

I sometimes think about some of the forks in the road I took and wonder "what if" I had made different choices... then I kiss my boy on the head as he's sleeping and know that I wouldn't change a thing even if I could have had all of Bill Gate's money.

Maybe I'd go back and try to avoid that rusty nail in a 2x6 that went all the way through my foot on my 25th birthday... Nah... makes for a good story.
 
That's a good "point" Bruce. That's a little part of who you are. When I was in the Navy my friends and I went through a period of time when we would go out in the evenings and end up in fights. I sometimes start to think, "man, that stuff was stupid, I wish I hadn't done that". Then I also think it was kind of "fun", and that's mainly what the people we started fights with wanted to do also.
Anyways, it's part of the me that is me.
It was also good practice in case you really needed to defend yourself, only sometimes it hurt, alot, nobody wins EVERY fight.
 
oops, that last post was supposed to be after Merlinspop's "rusty nail" post (that's why the pointed pun was in there)
