Title: What’s the best time of life?
Post by: liflawless on January 10, 2013, 08:36:19 am: What’s the best time of life?I think the best time of life is getting old slowly with the right man.

Fewer money worries and the realisation that the race is over but I still have plenty of gas left in the tank.
No need to prove anything to anyone else. And plenty of experiences to draw on, so less chance of making mistakes.

Post by: Andre Jute on January 10, 2013, 03:35:52 pm: An entire branch of the medical profession didn't expect me to make it out of my twenties when I indulged in all kinds of dangerous activities and had a high-stress job besides. Forty years later...

I can't remember when I wasn't happy, so I agree with Bikepacker: now is the best time of life, whatever time of your life it is now. Off for a short ride.

Post by: triaesthete on January 11, 2013, 01:58:25 am: Definitely now! Particularly as I'm not hungry or in pain and my family are asleep upstairs. Mind you good memories can make now nicer.

Do I detect guerrilla marketing of carbon wheels here too?

Happy today

Definitely, Ian. I'm going to have a little talk...the topic is fine, but not use of the Forum in violation of policy (listed here: http://www.thorncycles.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=26.msg6285#msg6285 )

Sometimes, unfamilarity or language can cause unintended violations.

All the best,

Dan.

Other than 65 instead of 60 I agree wholeheartedly.
As the man said "life is good". :)

Annnnnd...we're just awfully glad you *did* make it, Pete, and are here with us.
A very, very serious illness -- as bad as it can possibly get for what you had -- and you came out the other end.

There's a few of us in the "Survivor's Club" on here. Doing so really does make the breezes blow a little softer, the sun shine a little warmer -- just for still being here. 'Don't know what the future holds, but the present (for being in it) means an awful lot.

All the best,

Dan. (...who's just glad to be here too!)

Post by: Andybg on January 15, 2013, 09:00:40 am: Having had a mid ife crisis at 30 and retiring from commercial life to a sleepy hollow in Bulgaria; at 40 (next month) I am fit, healthy, happy and almost financialy stable.

Not sure what the best time of life is but am much happier for being out of the rat race. Hopefully the best is still to come. (Only 2 more rooms to be done and the 7 year project of rebuilding the house will be done!!!)

And may you all live long enough to become very, very boring about THESE Good Old Days.
