24995. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:49:41 PM I feel like I could 24996. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:50:18 PM Run all the way 24997. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:51:17 PM To the 24998. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:51:57 PM 25th 24999. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:52:41 PM Mote Cafe 25000. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:53:05 PM Millennial! 25001. magoseph - 1/28/2009 9:53:23 PM Five years ago exactly... 25002. magoseph - 1/28/2009 9:54:30 PM ...I became the host of this thread. 25003. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 9:54:42 PM Well that's wild! 25004. iiibbb - 1/28/2009 9:59:52 PM Arky--- we're almost the same age.... in fact I'm older than you by a 2 months (Apr 30). 25005. arkymalarky - 1/28/2009 10:15:21 PM Wow, I thought you were a lot younger! Puts all your recent life changes in a whole new perspective. I must say, you're handling them beautifully compared to what I would. But then I've never handled life changes well. 25006. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 3:10:51 AM What, you mean my near constant half state of inner panic?
I think it's the Finn in me.... they have this thing called Sisu. Sisu is a Finnish term that could be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity.
I'd like to think I have that. 25007. arkymalarky - 1/29/2009 3:14:55 AM I'll have to remember that word. A good one for these days and times. 25008. alistairconnor - 1/29/2009 2:06:59 PM iii... I think you skipped a decade. Surely you'll be turning 40, not 50??
My thirties were, I suppose, my golden age, but I feel I sort of frittered them away. The forties have been the worst of times and the best of times. It's not like I'm looking forward to my 50s, but I'm in good shape physically and pretty serene about my prospects. And I've got ooooh, a good year and a half to prepare for that... 25009. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 4:15:58 PM Ahh... I misread her post.... I'm turning 40 this April...
25010. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 4:16:54 PM I misread this post

I've got until July to be in my 40s. The only BD that bothered me was 30. 25011. arkymalarky - 1/29/2009 4:29:50 PM Ooooh! What a difference a decade makes! But as they say, it's not the years, it's the mileage. 25012. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 4:51:26 PM That's going to be approximately 28,000,000,000 miles assuming 1) you've spent most of your time at about Arkasas' latitude 2) the Earth's circumference at the Equator is 40,000 kilometers, and the circumference of the Earth's orbit is 940 M km...
Tack on your car odometer and frequent flier miles.
25013. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 4:53:17 PM Is it depressing that that's almost our current debt?
Maybe the world is about to end. When Arky's mileage and the debt come into convergence. 25014. iiibbb - 1/29/2009 4:53:45 PM Start running East!!!
