Is this it?

[daizie]

absolutely no idea

[*Bob*]

I suggest you sit down (on creaky wooden chair if you have one) and stare silently a clock for a full hour - preferably one with an audible 'seconds' hand.

When your hour is up, try to bear in mind how many of those you probably have left until you kick the bucket, and then try and think of how you might go about filling them.

Beware of the all usual pitfalls that may befall you during this vulnerable time (course in Reiki, thinking about opening a Dive Shop in Thailand, Harley Davidsons etc etc).

[daizie]

That sounds satisfying

[thexwinglessxbird]

You are as old as you feel, Ladymuck & you certainly don't look it, so you shouldn't be feeling it.

People snuff it at all ages, without accomplishing anything.

It is not too late. Rather than worry, start thinking about what you would like to achieve (make a list!) & stick with it. We are like 8 weeks? into the new year. There is no better time than to start now & by 2011 you can feel great!

I sit in the same position looking ahead of me for ages. I like seeing how many hours i can waste, 4 hours in one sitting is the most iv'e achieved.

[daizie]

Ow no. Forgot to say on that occasion id smoked some peculiar cigarettes

[PeckhamRose]

Nothing wrong wth Harley Davidsons. yes there is.

They're not always reliable and actually not comfy for long journeys.

DO SOME (MORE) Travelling!

I would think most people feel like this from time to time in their life. You just have to live yours the way that feels right to you. I would say that its never, ever too late to do anything.

Maybe just have a think about what you feel may be missing or where you feel unfulfilled and don't be too harsh on yourself. Try not to compare with others as we each have unique circumstances as to how we got to a particular place in life. There is always a way and yes, you can 'catch up'.

[SteveT]

Do you feel as if life is cheating you because you haven't had your first heart attack or stroke yet?

Well help is at hand, if you over eat and take up smoking and drinking heavily, you may be able to do like katie1997 says

and "catch up".;-)

[KidKruger]

The answer is to just do your thing.

BUT

A big problem people may have is determining exactly WHAT is their thing.

For some it's a no brainer, they have their thing and they JFDI.

For others perhaps nothing (or few things) has grabbed them so intensely.

Most folks I find who are doing their thing and happy in it aren't looking sideways to compare against anyone else, even if that somebody else is doing the same kinda thing, cos when you're happy doing your thing, you're happy that other people are doing their thing too.

If you spent less time on here you might get something done.

I've done a bit of posting research which I trust wont offend anyone as I'm doing my best not to offend anyone or anyone's friend either...

Average Monthly Posts (approx) LM 188, JL 235

This research suggests that Jah can impart some additional advice as how one spends so much time on here and still manages to get things done.....or not as the case may be!

[Jah Lush]

Thanks Declan. Very observant of you. Well done.

Nope. Still not scary enough. Bordering on tediously polite in fact. Pull yourself together man.

Thanks Jah, but I was really hoping to spark some insightful remarks from you. God knows I like statistics but in this case I haven't even subtracted LM's 50's,100's etc postings which don't really count in my opinion. The disparity might possibly be huge if I did!

[Narnia]

LB, are you trying to lure into a very expensive lawsuit?

*looks over shoulder to ensure LB isn't watching/listening*

pssst...

*whispers*

Declan...I think it's called entrapment. However, the good news is that, if you are lured by LB (as a law enforcement officer) into committing an offence, then you may use the entrapment itself as a defence...i.e. you can say that you would never have broken the law if not tricked into doing so. Hee hee.

*hears rustling in the bushes...suspects LB...sneaks off quietly*

*but not before blowing a massive raspberry at JL*

[Narnia]

Ah,entrapment. I should have known it. LB has been trying to provoke me recently by saying I'm not scary enough.

[legalbeagle]

*My moves are not so subtle after all. Damn! I would have got away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids!*

And don't listen to him Daizie. He's just trying to get you to take your kit off.

I disagree - surely the "100s" require a degree of lurking to get the timing spot on rather than a quick dive in, post and out..?
