So long as you recognise when it's time to grow up.

yep, when your on the venlilator, and have 5 hours left to live.

IMHO, that's a little late.

no kidding.

 

[paul_valaru]

IMHO, that's a little late.

IMHO it's to early, you can have responsibilities and still be young at heart etc.

growing up is giving up on life.

That's like going through life eating nothing but chocolate, and drinking nothing but Coke. It might seem great, but you miss out on the grilled salmon, filet minon, beer, coffee, etc.

no dude, it means eating ALL that and not thinking "I will need to diet tomorrow"

It's a matter of priorities changing and wanting to experience the finer things in life.

thta is not growing up, that is living, growing up is wanting to be mature and own things, to keep up with the jones, grownups "fit in" and drive beemers and have ulsers

I would prefer to live for today, and be happy, than live for tomorrow and be miserable

Like Motorhead.

 

[Professur]

Not just the finer things. Baser things too. Riding out the night in a tent trailer in a gale isn't what I'd call fine, but I'd not change the experience.

 

[HomeLAN]

In my experience, "young at heart" is far too often a euphemism for "refuse to take steps forward."

 

[Winky]

So valaru is advocating remaining immature and irresponsible
and we already knew Prof is an old fuddy-duddy.

I think it is Alpha that is the one that’s on the cusp of deciding
which way to go…

Paul, if that's all you can see in life, my friend, you have my pity. We, my family, live for today, tomorrow, and every other day. Living for tomorrow doesn't, and shouldn't mean sacraficing today. I'm gonna haul our asses 1200 miles south for a vacation that we're gonna be remembering for the rest of our lives. I live not only in my life, but in my wife's and children's too. Not only do I get the pleasure of my own experience, but that of theirs too.

I'm 38.

I consider myself mature.

I own things. Hundreds of CDs, thousands of LPs, a mortgage, a collection of Stephen King books, some Captain Crunch cereal, a basset hound named Elvis whom I adore and feel a reciprocal relationship exists, and a length of baling twine are among them.

I have no desire to keep up with the Jonses or anyone else.

I fit in to my clothes, my bed, my vehicle, most doors, and many amusement park rides.

I do not drive a BMW. I drive a 9 year old 4X4 pickup truck with a dent in the rear quarter panel from when I got too frisky on a mountain road.

I do not have an ulcer.



So where in the continuum do I fall?

 

[Uki Chick]

Like Motorhead.

Hell yeah!!!!

he isn't one, and I am not advocating that, I am advocating living you life for today, cause tomorrow you could be dead.

Just saying the "grown-up" things don't appeal to me, big houses, fancy cars (and yes when people say grown-up that is what I envision) working 14 hours a day so you could afford to keep up appearences.

Iwould prefer a small place, and good friends

as someone who is not stressed about being grown up

sorry people I see mature and grown up as too diffrent things...mature is fine grown up...sounds like you have done all your growing, because you have

grown

up

no where left to go, time to stagnate
