Spent time with younger Izzardites today, their expression for 'over the hill' is 'about 40' and I reminded them that Eddie will be 40 next year. We are all young at heart here, and that is special. -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: spoot in strokey beard pose 's message, "kisses to you BZC! Hmmmm I remember my dad saying once, at a party-he was drunk, he joked that I kept treating him like an old man when inside he was 16 years old! I know what you mean, Dad, my body knows about time but not my mind. Inside, a minute can last an eternity and yet a year can be gone in a flash! And the only thing I really want to do is be silly and laugh a lot. You do that all the time and they put you in a padded cell but it seems logical to me." on 12:03:25 08/09/01 Thu

Thanks, BZC - know the feeling. Seems to occur particularly AC (After Children) - that big 13 yr old was only 5 just a few months ago, wasn't it? And who's that old guy looking back in the mirror? Redhead has a special way of looking at it - amazement that she's still here every morning! We have both never felt like "oh, Im (X) old, now I have to act like an ADULT..." - besides, "young at heart"?? hells bells, Im not even halfway there yet...

You know how baby animals play all day long to hone the skills needed to survive in their world. Well I think in today's world of constant change, we humans need to keep that child play thing going just to keep our minds learning the new skills we need in our everchanging civilization. So let's PLAY! (NT) -- spoot, 03:55:55 08/10/01 Fri
