Perhaps. Stress in one's life though adds years. Lack of time alone, lack of rest - all factors. Still goes back to there are good days and bad days. Most days are good days though.:smile:but every age should have its own beauty in itself
Thank you. You answered a question I asked on your birthday. You might have answered before - I don't recall returning to the thread.
I don't feel my age either and I certainly don't have the time to feel it. But what I wouldn't give sometimes for just an extra half hour of sleep some morning!I'm 55 but I don't feel my age and I certainly don't act it most of the time.
a youngen........ sometimes I long for the time of 14,500 days. I hurt a hell of a lot less then than now.:lol:
You're such a Baby~!!!!:lol::lol:;-) Just wait til' you add a few thousand days to that. You will feel "a day over". I am at this very moment going into my 9th hour of watching after 5 children today. Most of them wishing I would put dinner on the table at this moment but I cannot because I am waiting for 2 of the 5 to go home first. Otherwise (as often happens) I seat an extra 4 - 5 people. Not up to it tonight. This is supposed to be my "weekend".
My number is the top speed (mph) of my old '61 Volks Beetle (36 hp) with 5 drunks and a two-four of beer, headed uphill into a stiff prairie breeze with an 80/20 mix of gas/alcohol in the tank.
ya had ta be,,,,,cause the only way that vw was goin faster was if it was goin downhill with a REAL stiff tailwind.:lol:
52 till Mar 21 - but 2 grandchildren have made me younger - seeing thing thru their eyes is as enlightening as the questions are.
How they connect what they see and hear adult do and how they think the world works.
Small story -
Son in law going thru the Tims drive thru - places order - Granddaughter has seen this many times - Speak to the box - drive up and get what you asked for.
This time she was prepared.
So she starts placing her order - Orange juice - Then chocolate milk - Then both together - The staff was lined up at the window to see this girl
Funny how they connect things - took 20 years off my age and added 20 to my life span - i hope.
The secret weapon was alcohol in the gas. Mind you, the heads got a bit warm if the mix got any richer than 80/20. And, on the prairies you can take a 20 mile run at the uphill part! :lol:
If that was Sask you could start at the Maintoba border and not get uphill till you hit Alberta.
OK, let me set all you BCers straight on that. (I'm also a BCer now so I can compare objectively!)...
I come from what's known as the second prairie level, south and west of Winnipeg. The first - which includes the Red River Valley around Winnipeg - is indeed so flat that if you take a leak on the ground, it goes nowhere. However, the second prairie level is another story...gently rolling hills (glacial moraine) and deep river valleys. We're talking real hills here - some of them must be, uh, well dozens of feet high! And there are even lakes out there...some of them are a mile long and over 20 ft. deep!
And then of course, there's Riding Mountain National Park up north of Brandon, MB...now you're talking high. I don't know the stats, but I can tell you that the view from up on the "mountain" is spectacular, looking north toward the metropolis of Dauphin, MB.
Just had to set the record straight on the much-maligned flat prairies.
Of course, I will concede that you can step up on a tuna can just outside of Regina and see Winnipeg if you look to the east. :lol:
