Ok... It's been awhile since I last posted, but I've been busy... And in a very good way... I hope to take a little time soon to post about it... But in the mean time, a cousin of mine sent me this and I thought I'd pass it along. I hope some of you reading this aren't to this stage in your life yet. As for the rest of us "older" people...
25 ways to know you have grown up
1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good shit."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh crap - what the h--- happened?"
Bonus:
26. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass. Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it & do. And now you know why I am forwarding this to you
About Me
- Morgan2112
- I am an…eclectic…individual with a soul as ancient as the multi-verse; I live by a code of Lawfulness, but one of my own design, and one which is anachronistic; I possess utter derision for the societies of the world today – I see them as a desecration of the potential eminence of humanity; I am no more than myself…

Sad to say but alot of those applied to me, ok, I am now officially old, damn.
Yeah... I wish they would find a cure for that malady.
Hey, they all apply to me, but that's a GOOD THING! I mean, if you really want the fountain of youth, I have a map I'd be willing to part with, for a small fee (I have no plans to use it, but it does have some sentimental value to me. Did I ever tell you about the time my Uncle Trapspringer accidentally discoved Fistandantilus potion for eternal youth? It all started whe-- UGH! Morgan, stop, choking, me!)
Of course I don't want to be eternally young just not so sore after doing things that didn't use to bother me lol.
You know, dd... I actually wouldn't mind an additional several decades of "youth" as long as I didn't have to spend them thinking the way that I did when I really was a youth. As it is, after last weekend walking the canal and a park or two, I'd settle for not being sore! [Musing to myself: Where's my Calgon??]
Now... As for Uncle Trapspringer, et al, as soon as I find my Lodestone and a little dust... Ah, screw it, where's my Dagger of Death vs. Kinders?!?!?!?!?!
(smiling innocently) Are you looking for this dagger? It must have fallen out of your pocket awhile back. Good thing I found it. I'll just hang on to it for you, to keep it safe...
BLOODY!!!!! FREAKING!!!! KINDER!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!
That's me, chaotic good half-kender, half-drow magic-user/thief (oh, yeah, and I have lycanthropy... ;-) Did I ever tell you about the time Uncle Tas and I were fishing for the Great White Gar in Kelly's Lake, when we heard a TERRIBLE howling in the forest? It had started out a normal spri-- gag!
You know, that walk in the park and the canal wasn't too bad. I would say you handled those steps quite nicely. Didn't know you could run so fast. Amazing what kids can do for you. Definitely keeps you in shape. So, guess what? You aren't nearly as old as you think you are. The gray hairs are nicely hidden, too, by the way.
