Do You Think Time Goes By Faster As We Get Older?

lpetges @lpetges (3036) • United States 13 Jul 07

lovemycats I feel blessed that when my kids were little they somehow knew not to act out in public. The only times they were spanked was their behind covered with a diaper. I feel badly for the lady but think her threat to spank them when they got home is stupid. By then...

do you find it hard to say no to people?

lpetges @lpetges (3036) • United States 30 Jan 07

i am a such a pushover. i guess its because i want people to be happy. i don't consider myself to be a whimp, but i find that i am more likely to do whatever for someone just so i don't have to hear about it.

lovemycats I really think "age" is in your mind. I do remember when years ago, I was in my 20's thinking 50 sounds so old ( and far away). Now that I am 50 I don't think I am old. I still have a lot of energy, though sometimes a short nap in the afternoon feels so...
