I tried to karma his bananas.

Classic N2O comment! You're probably right. :lol:

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

My 30s largely passed without anything really happening (apart from getting married, divorced and emigrating). I'm not sure what happened in my 40s.

The real kicker was becoming eligible for a 10% discount at Rona one Tuesday a month. That's like getting a bus pass at 50.

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

Oh yes, I was once accidentally an old person in Rona on one of those Tuesdays. If I'd had the necessary short term memory I'd have shopped there on subsequent eligible Tuesdays.

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

Every tuesday Value Village gives 30% off to over 60's. [struggles to kick up heels in display of spontaneous exuberance] I have to go look.

I got thoroughly insulted by a barmaid in O'Hare a few years ago. They are supposed to card everyone. She didn't card me. When I asked her why not, she simply said that she didn't see the need. Nice.

Lawtons seniors discount (20%) kicks in at 55 which is nice but I'm a bit away from Shoppers' equivalent.

That's quite a difference when buying testing strips and other higher priced things like vitamins. Good for plenty of other things too :thumbup:

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

For me, it didn't dawn on me that people had settled down and were starting family's until I was 30.

Also the realization that I actual dated some really nice guys in my 20s but dismissed them for silly reasons when really I shouldn't have been so picky.

Ironically I am even more picky now when there is less selection in the 'dating pool' lol

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

That dawned on me when I was forty :lol: Fortunately, fate took over in my mid-thirties and it all worked out (sort of :unsure:). But when I look back, I can see that I bought into the "experience is everything" mythology that gets perpetuated by cities like London a bit too much.

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

This is like losing your hair and you have to do more with it when there's less of it. :lol:

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

You don't lose your hair. It merely relocates from the top of your head to other areas.

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

Tbf, I think the dating pool pretty much evens itself out across all ages, considering the rate of divorces these days. Of course, you have to consider that often people come with pre-made families attached.

Or just marry someone 10 years younger... ;)

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

Like O. Henry, The Gift of the Magi sort of, you never have to look far for irony in life.

Re: When in your 30's and you realize......
 

If only I could keep away from myself....lol.....

Maybe some are just predisposed to more negative outlooks. Ive been that way since at least as far back as my memory goes.

Work in progress.. Really hard and not natural to think positive for some people.
