Heh. So I had been gone from TMP for a while, but was one of the "I have a paid account forever" people. Came back last night, and couldn't figure out why I didn't have supporter. Actually thought I had a lifetime account. When I looked at the options for supporting TMP (which I'm all for), I realized lifetime isn't an option… So I went and looked through my hundreds of PMs. And discovered that my account was extended for ten years in… 2009. So I expired while gone. Can't decide if I'm old because of the number of renewals I've been through, or old because I was gone that long, or old because I forgot what I last renewed at. /Off to chat with my lovely wife about what level of support I'll sign up for this year. You should do that too. |

Senior, mature, experienced, veteran etc but not "old" I confess to regular lapses of memory already, but probably not much worse than in my early 20s. Something about following a well known SF band probably wiped out a lot of neurones back then. My Missus is very supportive of my various internet modelling activities. On the principle that it could be something much worse on-line, or I might be bothering her late in the evening |

Everybody complains about getting old. I vastly prefer it to the alternative. |

Everybody complains about getting old… …but no one ever does anything about it. |

…but no one ever does anything about it. I agree … Didn't George Burns say, "If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself." … |

Growing older is just a growing difference between your fysical and your mental age. At least here no one cares about the fysical age, we all are about sixteen ;-)))) |

Growing old is not for sissies. However, there are three things to know: 1. Memory is the first thing to go. 2. Uh 3. Well, I can't remember the other two. |

"So I expired while gone." So….you can still surf the internet from the great beyond? Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. |
