Re: Ages and Aging
This message is from: "Teressa Kandianis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I love the profile thing. This is such a great forum for information - I'm not sure how I would have coped with my fjords without listers. A great example of a virtual community. My age is 50 and I'm in the fishing business in Alaska - sole, cod and scallops mostly. I was a horse lover as a kid and finally at age 48 fulfilled my dream of ownership. That's about it. By the way, though, do any gardening listers know of a good garden mail list? I've tried a few that turned out to be non existent or so off topic as to be a waste of time.

This message is from: Kathy Spiegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I liked the note on aging. This most of the time lurker is also 51 and would love to see some profiles. This list has become a must read. Usually, unless I have students waiting, I look at it first thing when I get in in the morning. I am getting my first Fjord from a member of the list and have seen an incredible amount of just plain useful information. What is amazing is the number of us who are not teenagers using the technology. Kathy at Idaho State University in Southeastern Idaho - close to the coldest spot in the nation last night but warming today.
Re: Ages and Aging
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had to laugh about what you said about kids and their ages, Our son will be 18 on the 22nd and he came to me this week with a serious face and said "WOW I'm almost 21!" I tried ever so hard to keep a straight face, I said something like,"Technically you are almost 18, but yah I guess you are getting closer" It's been the family joke for a week now Kind of like WOW, I'm 35, but getting close to that big 40! (Hint Hint) And Mike is enjoying his Senior Citizen discount, at a limited amount of restaurants, But he was pretty pissed when the car insurance company made him sign up for the 55 Stay Alive class LOL Mike and Michele Noonan
Ages and Aging
This message is from: "Cheryl Beillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ok .. you can put me down as 51 .. today. You aren't recording how old we feel are you? re the discussion . . here's a little set of age related observations that I think we can relate to .. Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?""I'm 4 and half." You're never 36 and a half, but you're 4 and a half going on 5! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16." You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16. And then the greatest day of your life happens: you become 21. Even the words sounds like a ceremony--you BECOME 21. YES But then you turn 30. Ooohhh, what happened here?? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED. We had to throw him out. There's no fun now. What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40... stay over there, it's all slipping away... So, you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50...my dreams are gone... and then .. you MAKE IT to 60...Whew! I didn't think I'd make it. You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, You're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60, and by then you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70! After that, it's a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday, you get into your 80s, you HIT lunch. I mean my grandmother won't even buy green bananas, "Well it's an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one." And it doesn't end there...Into the 90's, you start going backwards: I was JUST 92. Then a strange thing happens, if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again: I'm 100 and a half!! Age is a funny thing.
