What about us 40ish guys?

[pschnebs]

Hi, folks - great thread! ToddyLu, I'm exactly one day older than you. Are you looking forward to reaching the age of Life, The Universe, and Everything, too?

Anyway, most daring thing I've ever done... hmm... It's a tossup between walking a marathon, rapelling down a 5-story tower, or flying in a helicopter. Which would you folks say is more daring?

ok, here's one for you all...what was the most spontaneous thing you've ever done?

I was going to say something about you know you are 42 when you can no longer pick out the gray hairs with tweezers - but you are right - like your question - gotta live life to the fullest!

Most spontaneous thing I've ever done - went to England for tea one weekend with three friends - I was living in San Francisco at the time! We had a great time - of course a few years ago but I'd do it again - hey I live in Turkey - going to Disneyland Paris in 20 days!

I have always wanted to Skydive and I met a friend who did. I decided to learn to skydive. . .never took a tandem, just jumped. . .WOO HOO. Got my license and jumped a lot in 2003 through 2005. Haven't done it much in the last few years, but getting the itch again. May have to just go for it one more time.

Wow. Great idea for a thread. You guys don't mind if I join the ladies on the wall and watch you chat all things Disney and beyond do you? Nah, didn't think so.

btw - Anyone here into twittering? I have never tweeted (oh that does sound wrong) but took a few minutes... or so .... to follow woot at the apple conference today. The comments were just too funny.

Hey, I'll be at Disney the weekend of Halloween (Oct. 29 to Nov 1). Anyone going to be around? I would love to meet up with a couple people for lunch/dinner/drinks/whatever.

I'm glad that there's a thread for us 40-somethings. Represent in our reading glasses!

I joined this exclusive club last November in Las Vegas. If I'm not going to celebrate it in WDW, that's a heckuva good alternative. I solved a murder on my 40th birthday. Who else can claim that?

 

[Goofy4Disney!]

I'm 46 but I like to think of it as the 16th anniversary of my 30th birthday.

And kudos to an over 40 thread. Was beginning to think the only Princes out there were just getting out of college!

I like that idea can I borrow it for me. it sounds great not being over 30 but having anniveraries each year. I wish I though of it.

 

[merriwthr]

Got married.

(I should mention this was also the dumbest thing I've ever done.)

Too funny!!! But I can relate... Luckily I wasn't dumb for long!

 

[CoasterAddict]

I've probably done many dumber things than that, but yeah...chalk it up to a "learning experience."

I am glad I am not the only one who has suddenly become blind overnight. Why does nobody tell me that this would happen? Where was the warning label

 

[diznut66]

Sorry as creator of this thread, I haven't been around much lately. Week on a cruise then Disney immediately the next Thurs - Sun and then Disney again the next weekend.

I will tell you what though, I'm not as young as I used to be to keep going like this week after week. But I can never pass up an opportunity to be at Disney.

The thread creator never has to say he's sorry, but as his thread followers we do feel when he's gone missing.

BTW - where you return, we expect pics (lots of 'em!) as proof of your absence.

You guy are cracking me up!!

That's how I see it - a learning experience.

Me too! And I agree completely.

.....Week on a cruise then Disney.....

Now that's my kind of vacation. Btw, you are just across the Bay from me.

As long as you don't mind Prince Balding, Prince Q-tip or Prince Muffintop.

ROFLMAO. . .Okay, that was a good one. But truly, Princes can be found in all sorts of packaging. You just never know till you reach out and discover what is truly there.
