Or staring over at 21 with everything the way it is now. I'm glad to be older.
I remember
Milton Friedman quote
Tyranny of the Status Quo Do not agree or not just interesting
<strong>

 

I'm just the right age with all my faculties. most things in working order
 

Thanks for the video.

Never was a fan of Milton Friedman.

David Brooks is just a kid there! I knew there was a reason I liked him.
I try not to miss Brooks & Shields, PBS Newshour on Fridays.

In answer to your question, I'm just glad I don't have to start all over again
in the current economic situation.

Feel bad for anyone starting out it's getting really bad. I hear next year will be really bad tax wise,. Was it last month someone said how stupid everyone was for voting for the health care, I do not rememb us having a choice or voting on it. Just brace yourself

I wouldn't want to go back to my younger years either. Our times were pretty hard, but I don't think today's issues are any easier, their just different.

I know a few 20 and 30 cant pay for housing just the basics. It is a problem when those in power make way more than the ones they represent. A few around here tried to up their salaries. ps Ina one week and a day to go
 
Pchrise, I'm counting for you too. We lost our cable TV and our online functions last Thursday. We ended up borrowing movies from three neighbors just to fill up time. Comcast tried to tell us that two cable boxes and our WiFi went out at the same time.
It was their lines, not our equipment.
:duh: :tapfoot:

I'm down to just Internet if you have a digital antenna you can have a back up to Comcast Try net zero Check this out http://www.netzero.net/start/showDevice.do?wls_did=nz-wls-sp-device-mifi-01 I have one with my phone carrier and use it when I go out.
 
I downloaded Xfinity, Netflix, and Amazon TV Go onto my iPad as soon as we got the WiFi back online. Generally we might loose the TV cable function at times, but this was the first time everything has gone off.
 
Am I glad or happy to be the age I am now? NO. I would rather be in my early 50's and doing what I loved best--flying. There's not a day that doesn't go by that I wish I was back in the cockpit.
 
I'm content with where I am. Though it certainly hasn't been a pleasant journey, I'm profoundly grateful for every experience, ​especially the painful, sorrowful ones. For from it all I learnt compassion, empathy and understanding.
 
Enjoy your "youth" you younger sprouts here, as Mommy Nature will soon have you in her sights and start seriously chipping away at you as she has me...
 
Both of us (wife-I) wouldn't mind having the bodies we did when we were 40 and early 50 years old. We were able to do more than we do now! Of course, during those years of being 40 and early 50, I didn't have a hip replacement or RC surgery as of yet. We are able to still be active, just not as much. BUT, going back, and living, those years in my later 20's thru/to 49 years old............NO WAY! I was single during that time and hated it! Using the word "hate" is extreme, but that's the way I felt being single.
 
I'm pretty neutral on the idea of being my age, for me its more about the people in my life, the experiences I'm having in the moment regardless of age. But sure, I wouldn't mind having my 20 y/o body. I can't say I was any happier at ages prior to where I am today, I wouldn't wish some of the experiences on my worst enemies, but on the other hand I've had some experiences that, were beautiful fairytale like in comparison, so, I'm fine having lived through the worse of times to some degree, but, I'll take where I am now and just be comfortable in my own skin in the here and now.
 
I might feel worse about my age if I did not look like I'm in my late 20 or 30 Still feel a bit bad and hope after this life things will not be the same as it is now. Right now I just have vision issues and not letting that stop me from driving a little bit with someone to help if needed. I will address it soon, in the mean time very frustrating to say the least. I think having a semi good out look makes being at this age not too bad but I also hate being dependent and worry that might happen. I have checked out real elderly homes they are awful and not ready for that ever.

I will be 72 in a couple weeks. I HATE it. I cannot accept old age. I am having a hard time with it. I want to be young and full of energy. BoooHooooo. :(

I would turn that number around in two weeks and now you will be 27 and stick with that number. I take nutrition seriously how I look is less important than not feeling bad. Think back how you felt at that age and go with it .
 
I would go back to 20 in a heartbeat and do everything all over again,exactly the same as the first time. Well,maybe a few minor changes,but not many. But I`m OK with 64 so far. Right now I`m very bored with not having any foster kids,and I feel like I`m starting to isolate myself. Don`t like that. Hubby went to work for his 8 hour day at the body shop,then text me to say that the school called and asked if he could work for 3 hours tonight,so he won`t be home til 8. Don`t know how he does it-that`s a looong day,and the school job is hard,physical work. Body shop job can be easy (mostly computer work) or hard (lots of estimating). Hoping he has an easy one there today. I know that,at 64,I could not do the hard work that he does at 66. But,yeah,I know that both of us would love to be younger.
