Never too old for a good game though;)

Well...thanks to me and my more "mature" colleagues on the high end of the dataset, and at the risk of statistical nerdiness -- I would argue this is a classic lognormal distribution.Quote:

19 - and already old, and with: paining knees, ankles, and back, a few slid discs, innumerable greensticks, callouses, scars from knives to cats to the pox, cronic dysentery, and a few silver hairs on me head; they of course promptly fall off, provideing a fortaste of what is to come. docs say life expectancy from birth = 40-47 years at this rate.
ain't life grand?:clown:
gosh I wish I was like all the other 19 year olds, with a car and conveniences aside from my laptop. :sad:
@Owen: listen to Tarkus-he's right. do not forget the power of lies, damn lies, and statistics-they are all important.
Statistics -- the root of all knowledge...:2thumbsup:Quote:

Ha ha ha ha, I want to be 19 again with the brain, self-confidence, charm and experience I have now. No knickers would be safe ;-)Quote:

Kids, enjoy your life, allow yourself to be young, believe in yourself and be yourself, and talk to and charm all the females you possibly can.
Vikings FTW!!!

don't get me wrong, my family is good, and we aren't poor these days, but because of my station in the family, it gets ugly; on average, I have to go on foot every day 10-20 miles, often carrying up to50Lbs worth of stuff (books, coke, errands, etc), often in bad weather, and I forbid myself accepting rides, except from family. that of course will wear my joints down. It doesn't help that accidents are common; I actually injured my ankle the other day on the way home slipping on the wet grass in a gulley-tore my sandal up good as well:clown: . and unlike most of humanity, sprained ankles don't stop me-I just limp to work/errands and back home (apparently, pain doesn't get much at me).
the heavy weights, and an accident I had the day after my 18th birthday (go-cart hit a pole going 40mph :embarassed:), have hurt my back, and caused a few slipped discs.
I can't eat much (little time), and what little I can eat isn't checked for quality (fruits are a big worry), so my stomach is shot to shit-that, and I've always had that since childhood. a really bad case almost killed me when I was 6 months old. I actually lost weight in the 3 years I've been in the USA- about 130 lbs, and 5'11".
and remember, all this manual labor comes with the responsibilities of college (I've been on the dean's list three times :beam:) family (I'm the oldest male in the family now that dad is stuck in Kuwait), and the thump and bang of my hick brothers stres me out-and that gives me the slivers of silver hair. the only free time I have is on here (most of the time you see the light on my profile, I'm not actually there, as I leave regularly for a quick errand):clown:
and why all this shortens my life expectancy: I don't complain-ever; I haven't visited the doctor in 3 years-mostly because its too damn expenive here-and dental care is non-existence. my family doesn't even know, because I don't tell them. the docs I'm referring to are in fact known by writing, and the calculation given led to the short one. the funny thing is, in theory, I'm supposed to have a longer than average life at this rate-apparently, high IQ's and better sanitation in general are all I got.
in sum: I'm way too harsh on myself :clown:
however, I'm glad to say: I'm getting a car soon (I have a permit, and will soon get a license), so a good deal of the trouble will vanish,(plus I'm darn proud of "the tough life").:sweatdrop:
Geez, Ibrahim, take it easy on yourself, man. There ain't no prizes for blowin' yourself out.
When you get to be 38 like me, you don't want to feel like a decrepit old bag. I worked myself as hard as you do when I was younger too, and am startin' to pay for it now.
maybe, but life's tough-got to work for the rewards.:shame:Quote:

when I am secure as a paleontologist and my family is safely away, I might be able to relax a little :clown:
Well, I hope you can get what you need to do done quickly so you can relax a bit.
That is very sad to both merlinus and Ibrahim. Well you know what they say, live your life to the fullest. I bet palentologist is a cool job. Sorry to hear about your family.:shame:
Ah, but the trouble, my friend, is that having the brain you have now would be the factor that makes you NOT a teen again. :DQuote:

Just how old are you TMWNN? Erm, make that OP. :) If you don't mind my asking.
This really, really needs to go on the main forum. More people will reply and this does not belong in the AAR section much either.
damn Ibrahim... I'm not even that hard on myself... Take it easy.
see above.Quote:

Well, Ibrahim, truly I wish you the most happy of retirements, when you reap the fruits of your hard labors.
It is admirable that you want to pay your own way. Have a balloon as a mere pittance of the appreciation I have for someone who follows the real American dream (although perhaps a bit hard). :balloon2: Well, you probably can't see it b/c of .org issues, but it should be green. :P
Not at all, i'm 11 turning 12 in 16 days or on the 25th of june. I'm on a cruise that day.:smash::smash::smash::smash::smash:Quote:
