man , I am only 43 And I started doing that stuff a couple years ago, it really disgusts me too when i catch myself. Makes me feel old. now i will be walking down a street in my town and all of a sudden i will stop, all of a sudden flashing on a litle store that used to be there, where theres now an ugly townhouse development, etc, etc. It doesnt help much that I am now living in Moms old house, the house I grew up in, the old carport is still there i used to park my 71 cuda under ( my first car), but now theres a 65 coronet under it. neal zimmerman, eugene Oregon On Mon, 25 Dec 2006 10:41:18 EST, Dodger7998@xxxxxxx said: > > > DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU ARE BORED; > > Well I knew that it would happen, just did not think that it would > be so > subtle when it did, and by that I mean when it come to a time in a mans > life > when he would rather think about what has happened rather than the > present > or future.
