Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

It's called Wisdom! You've lived long enough to find out you don't know everything and worse yet that you aren't invincible <G> past 40 you're like a fine piece of furniture, you just found out your chest has droped to your drawers! <GGGG>

So, drink deeply of Life, conduct it as best you can, and relish every waking moment

Live it! Live it LARGE!  

How do these and other similar statements fit with how much time we all spend sitting in front of a computer screen jacked into AH?

I fear that I am wasting my life playing a game I can't quit and that all the "stories about what I did when I was young" told to my grandchildren about will be about AH.   :(

anyway...

StSanta,

I felt the same way. After playing on submarines for 8 years, I got out and worked my butt off for 3 years to save up for school. Then I quit work to finish the electrical engineering degree I started before I joined the Navy. I graduate at the end of this spring. I have been mostly studying with no money. Finally finishing will give me a sense of relief, but as I get closer to graduation I fail to see the point of all the time and money I wasted going back to school. My skillset is the same as it was (I had already been doing electrical engineering without the degree), only now I will have a piece of paper. What a waste of precious lifespan. That paper better result in more money because it just sucked up $30,000 I had in savings and another $6,000 in loans  :mad: I would rather have bought a house, fixed up my car, and get a pilots license (which are my immediate goals upon graduation). I am 33 without a home or a wife  :( GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR  :mad:

Staga I don't think it means you are getting old, it means you are turning gay.  

 :)

Seriously, some classics in this thread.  Toad's weekly winner is in here for sure.  <S> Guys.

I remember when I was in my early twenties I kept saying to myself"I'm getting old...I'm getting old..I'm getting.."When 30 came and went it was no big deal at all.In fact it gets better and better.I try to keep in shape by jogging,cycling..etc..Feel healthier than when I was 20.Try a team sport(anything but rugby).It's way more fun going to pub after than it was a decade ago.The only thing I've really cut out are the handsomehunk high risk things like riding a motorcycle in rush hour traffic,drinking&driving,bar fights..etc.. :)Life's just like flying AH for me...Keep that "E" level happening and watch the waistline(Check Six).. :)

Not that much has changed here (turning 32 soon), I just wish I had (took) the time to do all that sh*t I used to do...

The main thing I realised that comes with age (for me) is "regrets" (ahh if I'd gone to finish of that Phd...) and "sarcasm/bitterness"... that's a bit bothering me, but it's more a pain to the poeple around me than to myself  :)

The only thing I seem to have lost is a non-ending stipid smile on my face, but I did get a little gut in return.

What Furious said is pretty true for a lot of us in here and I find THAT to be scary.

Staga... I hope she was ugly as a cow, or else... I'd start worying  ;)

Santa, offer is still valid when you're done with your studies...

Well, don't sweat it, guy, cause it's not too late.  I was married both at 21, then at 36.  The one at 21 was a bad mistake, resulting is a lot of college misery(and just plain misery too).  The one at 36 is still going.  It's been a lot of work, but it's been worth it.  And when a month before my 42nd birthday, our son was born.  He'll be 2 next month, and I gotta say, that little guy gave me a major injection of Life  :)  So, hang in there, and never give up  ;)

Want me to give your wife a major injection Leonid?

That one was too good to pass on.

Yeah right guys, welcome to my line of work, where high-speed car driving, diving with sucky equipment, dare-devil mountaineering and 120 mph bike rides are every-day stuff... Amongst these 20-year old daredevils you never feel old...I promise, cause the seldom get old...   :D
