Question

It's not over yet, love. Why don't you enroll on a motorcyling course? I bet you'd look good on a Harley.

Answer 2

Answer 3

What a funny thing, my wife and I were having the same conversation an hour or two ago...she is saving up for a fabulous holiday for her 60th  in 5 years time, and we both said it seemed odd saving up for a 60th Birthday when it only seems two minutes since her 30th....but we have lots of great memories and have done lots of memorable things, so its not like the intervening years have been wasted.

Answer 4

Seems like only yesterday, doesn't it? Some of the years seem a bit blurry, but for the most part it's been a pretty good ride.

Answer 5

You should have read the small print before you started!

Answer 6

Forwards - in time at least.

Answer 7

into the mists of time

Answer 8

It's sad, isn't it? We work hard all our lives and just what do we accomplish? I hear this form nursing home residents all the time. They always say the same thing, how they've worked hard all their lives and now they are in a nursing home after having sold everything they worked hard for to be able to afford care. It breaks my heart. Is this all there is to life? Well, at least there's Yahoo Answers!

Answer 9

Lucky you.I've hardly had more than a year of work.Not qualified and jobs stolen by foreigner who undercut the idigenous worker in London.This true not racism.

Answer 10

It's a little bit late for reflection now missus. What I learned very early on in my life is - to quote Bart Simpson - work is for suckers. Life is too short to be chasing a career. I don't live to work; I work to live (which admittedly isn't often. ROFL!)
