Till dooms day. A dreaded day, a despised day...
My birthday!! :twisted:
Can't we abolish this insane practice? at least this one isn't the BIG one. only 49 :cry:
Less than 30 days to go...

Right behind ya Knight - you're right in that thought too...

Think of it this way. The older you are, the wiser you are.

Now that is cobblers! Stupid young people only grow up to be stupid old people with the added effects of dementia.
Finalday's birthday eh? You treating the beard to a delousing?
-
You mean this one?

Whoa! Dude............that looks almost exactly like my dad (54). He uses that "I'm older = wiser" thing as well, it's useful cause it can fool some younger people. XD

noooooooooooooooooooo, the horror, the horror.....
older yes, wiser no, you splurged your tax rebate on Steve Jobs. The truly wise use Tawakalnistan High-Technology Exports, Inc (a division of IndyCorp) where service and quality come included in the very competitive retail price.
49 - nearly half a century. Never mind at least you're another year closer to retirement, then you can still earn a tidy crust doing your sasquatch spoofs in the mountains.
Id - get lost I'm quite happy with my dementia thank you, increasingly i tend to forget things that I didn't want to remember anyway - the kids for a start, I'd like to forget them completely. Who are you btw?

A lot of the time, Older = Wiser, due to real life experience. Your dad has a beard too? Well, thats 2 to 1 against Taw then
Looking at life now, you really do see things different. Most of what you thought important at a young age, falls by the way side now. It's a little spooky in that regards. Now, I prefer a very laid back view of the world, watching what I know will happen, and waiting...

I don't need to hide myself away behind a beard, I'm far too beautiful. besides Mrs Taw moans her bag off if I don't shave.
QuoteLooking at life now, you really do see things different.
firstly, you should have used differently which is the correct form for an adverb! (well Esquilax the Grammar Bunny isn't around and someone's got to correct your rotten syntax even if your spelling has improved.)
secondly, are you saying that you aren't the same person now that you were (say) 30 years ago? is it just experience that changes us or is it something else?

A lot of things change us, and yes, I'm not the same person as I was 30 years ago. I've changed a lot. But I wished I had changed more even.
Careful, I may order the Hawk Men to attack the grammar nazi.

Yeah, well, my dad talks about how back when he lived in Atlanta, the proletariat had a saying; "Never trust anyone over 30." Naturally, they were children of the 60's. He knows now that that was a bias of the time for the younger people, but he still jokes about it. Age often brings wisdom, but you would be surprised perhaps about the number of people in the world to whom that does not apply. Now, I'm not saying you're not wise. Most, at whichever point in life they are at, believe themselves to be on the ball completely. A child knows (thinks) he is in the know. Teenies (like urs trooly), know everything about the world. A kid and an adult, staring at eachother, will think simultaneously both identical and opposite things concerning eachother. The kid will think, "Look at him standing there. Heh, what a goof he has no fun. I'm better off.", while the adult will think something along the lines of; "Boy, he has no idea. Someday, though, he'll see."

On the subject of how you change over the years here's one that worries me:
I met my wife when she and I were teenagers. I am now in my mid 30's. If I were to try and strike up the same relationship with her today, and she were still 17, I would be in trouble.

How true, she would be underage ...
-
@Spcok: Well that depends on the country, but the logic still applies. If I am the same person today that I was then, why is it wrong for me to date a 17 year old today now when it was perfectly acceptable back then.;)

I suppose that would depend upon the young lady and your intentions ...
