When my girls started saying"hey mum, listen to this cool new song",..so i listen,..and then I have to tell them is a remix of something I listened to 25 years ago,...at their age!!

"When a man is educated, an individual is educated; when a woman is educated, a family and a country are educated."

— Mahatma Gandhi

BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DONT MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DONT MIND

YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU CAN RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

TRIP.... OVER LOVE, AND YOU CAN GET UP

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS

When did you discover that you were getting old ?

For me it was when kids started calling me "sir". That started happening sometime in my 30's.

Although the reading glasses I now have to use and the arthritis I now have in my 50's are a much ruder awakening.

Some of the kids I work with call me "old timer", but I can run circles around a lot of them and they know it. I shame them quite often when they start to wuss out on me when it is extra hot or extra cold at work. No work ethic.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

I'm only 21 but I see these signs too!

Me and my best friend talk about it all the time. We find ourselves talking about things that our mothers used to talk about... for example, the weather, deals at the store, others' kids, holidays... we remember when we would be walking along with our mothers and they would stop to talk to someone and it would be SO boring... that is now us! :blink:

Sometimes when we catch ourselves discussing old things, for instance the other day when I told her all about my new dovet cover from Argos for £4 :lol: we'll go "ooooh Barbara, oooooh Doreen!!"
