So, tell me...what do you think is the best age to be...and why? I was digging 43 pretty ok until all hell broke loose recently. It's hard finding a good job when you're in your 40s, if you don't have a long track record in the workplace. At 43, things start hanging, sagging and bagging, unless you're careful. The mind starts to go, hehehe.
I had the poop together at 17, though. I was in my first place, which was pretty gross since it had been hit by a hurricane-- but still, it was my first place. 17 wasn't too bad at all.
I also liked 26...just because it had a nice ring to it. I still thought I had plenty of time to do everything I wanted. I was pretty shapely...had all my hair and teeth, hehehe. Maybe 26 was that perfect age for me
What about for you? What's the age where you were rockin' it? Why was that age better than the one you're at now?
Well I'm 20 and I don't like it. Most likely because I've christened this decade as "the decade of the move or journey". I plan on doing lots of stuff, travel move across country, move to another country, get into college, finish college, go to norway, law school and so on, travel a ton.
30 to 40 is my family years.
I hate saying stuff like this because watch me in 5 years be married and have kids on the way. Oops![/DIV]
I can't comment on this thread because it would give away my age. [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_blush.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](//vny!://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon_smile_blush.gif)[/A]
lol Raging Poodle:))
watch me:
i'm 37 (hmm.. why do i keep repeating that everywhere i go?)
but my life didn't change much since the time i was 23
except when i became a mom:)
becoming a mom was good times...
having a little baby is what i miss i think
the way they smell and feel... lol endless dippers:)))
cuddling with them...
and that feeling right after you feed them (which usually coincides with the time they poop:))
it actually taught me - where ever there's happiness, there gotta be poop involved...

ah...yeah...i'm in that mommy camp. poopy diapers and all. i miss snuggle time. *sniffle* Dunc, my youngest, is 17 now and doesn't like it much when I try to snuggle with him, hehehe.
they should bottle baby smells. pleasant baby smells to remind us of the good times...and stinky baby smells as a deterrent for people who really should not breed.
The best (and worst) times of my life (i.e. from the sublime to the ridiculous and back to the sublime) took place during the ages of 37 and 38.
I like having acqquired the wisdom, experience, etc. that clicking off 38 years permits. And being a Daddy rocks! The stage I'm at now in life is more rewarding and enriching.
But the most out and out fun time in my life was late teens to mid twenties.Things were newer and more exciting then. Life is full of many more possibilities at that stage of life. And one has a resilient enough body to get away with a lot of craziness.
SD, if you aim to travel, make sure you do it while you have the chance. I kind of stumbled around for a couple years after college thinking I'd go to Europe again, someday. Now that I have a family, travel is a different proposition (not that I'd trade it for the world, mind you). I sense that you're the kind of person that needs to go to Europe, and should do so if given half the chance.

I liked your final sentence BTW. When I come to think of it, most events leading to happiness or satisfaction in my life had poop involved in one way or another.

A) Either apply for PR or
B) Get married, which automatically jumps to a PR and wait three years to take the test. (Probly could pass it now already if I took it tomorrow. I know all the premiers, federal officals, provincal capitals, can count back all the Prime Ministers off the top of my head to King. I've got to learn the 19th century and 18th Century Canada history next though. I'm lacking in that department.
Oh and I've been signing the national anthem since I was a wee little one. Always found it cooler to sing then the star spangled banner which I've always been annoyed by when people try to sing it, (They sound drunk all the time, but what do you expect? The tune to a song is an old drinking song).
2015. Thats the goal I've set.
Thanks Lise:)
omg!!! next month:)) aww - a new baby..... good luck with everything!
SD - that's one detailed and ambitious plan
good on ya!
<edit>
That's a really good positive attitude to have, greycat.
Here's to all our years, the good and the bad, may our upcoming years be filled with riches and wonderfu experiences. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/19.gif)
Yes, Lise, cheers to that! :)
To Lise: your sentiments echoed - and amplified.
To Greycat: I've found it just keeps getting better, still some exciting passages here and there, but with the years comes more contentment (you sort of get to know who and where you are, and have the necessary skill to meticulously repeat old mistakes without feeling the previously devastating after-effects). Best of all, you keep your dreams and ideals intact (this used to be a great concern of mine in my youth: will my ideals alter? They didn't, but my expectations lowered).
What about for you? What's the age where you were rockin' it? Why was that age better than the one you're at now?
I'd like to be older, ie, in my late 40's. I think that that is a beautiful age.
I liked being 17 because grade 12 was somewhat fun. There were some years, ie 19, 20 with memorable milestones. Other than that, I just have to wait until I get older.
I'm now 65 and I think I am more content than I've ever been. I've learned not to worry about the future. At this age there isn't nearly as much future to worry about. I don't expect much from people any more; I've learned my lesson on that. I'm doing a job that keeps me fulfilled and happy, albeit very tired. So I think that life is very good, and I wouldn't want to go back to my younger inexperienced self.
10 years old:
carefree,stressfree life that included what seemed to be an endless long summer.forts in the forest and jenny up the street.
18-19:
seemed to be a life of endless possibilities and choices,had a paycheck and no real responsibilities.surrounded by good friends before it seemed we all parted ways.
29-35:
dreams came true for business and found some of those long since lost friends.trusted myself more,confident in the choices i had made up until then.met vicky.a time for balanced reflection on the path so far.
