LOL Gary. I agree. I like elders, too. I think in a weird way they are helping me come to terms with my own aging. I turn the big 4-0 this year and sometimes that seems a little frightening. So, maybe I'm identifying just a bit much with my sims?
you can always tell the yuong ones can't you? however brace up SBW, it was easier to turn 50, than 40.
It must be scary thinking about 50. I imagine not even to live that long! But I always thought 30-40 was a sad time, with the mid-life crisis and all. And to think, adults like most people on this forum still play games like TS2! At least playing video games should make you feel younger.
Mid life crisis! You cheeky pup! 30 to 40 was marvelous time for me. Turning 50 is a bummer, that's when mid-life crises kick in! I'm having mine right now and I'm lovin' it! I worked hard for it so I'm jolly well going to make the most of it. <puts fingers to lips and goes blubble-blubble-blubble>
Kopo, my 30's have been the best time of my life and 40's should just get better. I know it seems terribly "old" to you at 10, but the older you get the less you care what other people think, and that's terribly freeing. Plus, if you want to have candy for dinner, you can. 50 isn't old, youze guys. 50 is the new 30, haven't you heard? I know it's a cliche, but you're truly only as old as you feel. I've known young 80 year olds and old 25 year olds. It's all a matter of perspective and attitude. Me, I don't ever plan to grow up.
Amen! Sister you are preaching to the choir. I did find 40 harder than I expected....... but 50 was tremendously freeing. Too bad I didn't learn earlier that it really doesn't matter what other think and to think for myself. it the words of the 60's... Don't let the man get you down
My mom stopped keeping track of her age by her late thirties--at least, that's what I tell my friends and their parents when they ask. She must be around 41 by now. And I thought the 30's were supposed to be fun! What happened to that movie--what's it called? 13 Going On 30? The girl wanted to be 30. I'd actually prefer to stay 13, myself. Kupo, like everyone else said, you are so wrong about the mid-life crisis thing. My parents haven't experienced that yet, and my dad's 45.
Well, as someone approaching 40, and still having babies, I'll say this: 30's is when you "find" yourself, I think. 20's is the time when you adjust to being an adult, get yourself established, have some fun because soon you'll have kids and mortgages and car payments that will keep you from being so carefree. Life is different then. But it's not a bad thing. You look over your house, and your beautiful kids, and all the things you have accomplished, and it makes you look forward to your 40's and 50's.
My mum always told me that 30's were good years, because you had made most of your mistakes by then and still had time to put what you had learnt to use while still young. I had my kids in my early 20's and, now I'm in my late 40's, they are off getting on with their own lives (not planning on producing any grandchildren for me for a few years yet), and I still feel young enough to go and do all those things I maybe missed out on in my 20's. And I can afford to do more now than I could back then. There are advantages to organising your life in many ways; you just need to make the right choices for you.
And still so much to look forward to. Just think of the Sims EPs that will be coming out when we're 70!
I just wonder how much bandwidth they'd require. Not sure they'd be worth it ... my game runs slow enough without them on occasion.
