sammorris, Why? If you for some reason don't wake up tomorrow, the only person that won't know it is you! It's called life! The final act is always the same, for everybody! We all wind up in a "Single Bed" eventually! Worrying won't change that one bit! Some people worry so much about dying, that they forget to live! John Glenn, the American Astronaut was the first man to orbit the earth in a space capsule. When he came back, the Government thought him such a "National Treasure" that they passed an amendment to the Constitution banning him from ever returning to space. Many years later when the ban was finally lifted he went up in the Space Shuttle, do you think he was worried? To him, he was in Heaven. I doubt that he even thought about it! Best Regards, Russ
sammorris, I'll warn you ahead of time! It gets in your "blood", and it is habit forming! LOL!! I started Sky Diving in the early 60s, but due to the terrain here, Hang Gliding is much safer as you have a lot more say in the direction you go. Much more control. I'm also a certified Scuba Diver and have been doing that since I was about 18! Depending on how deep you go, it can be a lot more dangerous than either Sky Diving or Hang Gliding. I got hooked on Scuba Diving from the American TV show, Sea Hunt when I was a little kid! (back in the stone age!) LOL!! Best Regards, Russ :>)
Was that around the same time as Sky King with his daughter Penny.had forgotten all about Sea Hunt till you said that Lloyd Bridges wasn't it?
ChrisC586, I think Sky King came a few years later, and it was Lloyd Bridges. Every healthy red-blooded american boy was in love with Penny though! LOL!! Before that, It was Annette on Mickey Mouse Club! (we all watched her boobs grow! LOL!!) There was also Darleen, and for the little kiddies, Karen! Much simpler times, than today! In many ways, better times! Best Regards, Russ :>)
Dunno about the rest of you old blokes, but it seems to me that whilst the outside ages, sags, succumbs to gravity, and grows hair in odd places, that the inside ages totally separately from the outside. Waddya reckon? oh, does anyone have any feelings about having to shave ones ears? 58 until March.
I'll be turning 67 in December. As far as Sky King goes, I remember him mostly from the radio back in the '40s. Dave
I turn 27 next month which doesn't make me feel old at all. Now, my son just turning six...that makes me feel old.
for whatever reason, turning 29 was the toughest so far for me, now being 33 I tend to think it was because I knew the next birthday would be 30 and I guess that is another step on the big aging process. If I felt that bad at 29, wonder what its going to be like in 6 years when I hit 39?
