I know, problem is though I am not feeling anyone at the moment... Besides I always end up dating older men. Perhaps I should try out a younger model... You might be on to something there... I think that just made my list! :

I vote you share the entire list! I also vote that you don't post pics of yourself sunbaking! As wonderful as I'm sure it would be, I think the testosterone levels around here are probably high enough.

As for cars for example, two of the items on my list was to own a high powered sports car and the other a new GT. Since I made the list a few years ago I've owned both so it appears to be working! Now for the supercharged car !!:dr_Evil:
3. Own a brand new sports car.
This one is on my list too - Does the GT or SP count?

Sacrilegious boy! You know I NEED new shoes constantly – besides I would need a 10 step program to give up my hair appointments and shopping. But you are soooo right about my hair.

Ahh fer Lords sake, turning 30 is not the end of of your life sheeesh. People should seriously realise that their twenties are *not* the ants pants in life, be well and truely assured of this. Fun, sure,- but much, much more to be had. I had great times in my twenties, but in no way would I want to go back. (Cept maybe to 'correct' a few things)....

It's funny, but in many a Continental EU 'pub' those dancing are well above the 30 mark by in large with 40 - 50 not uncommon. Some folk just age cute and well.....

On the physical front, I remind women folk that you at your sexual peak around 30 - 40. And that continues, be much assured.... (So male to mention this).

Things get better and you do adjust, how you treat yourself in your twenties and teenage years has bearing on your future physical life, stay away from borish drugs and their abuse, keeping yourself well as possible and taking care of yourself daily shall see you in good stead in later life.

Your as old and dead ONLY as much as you allow yourself or less mature experienced others dictate - in this country.

Do those things in your list, but keep some of them for much later, be assured you have no need to rush that list.

My 92 year grandpa went touring through Germany a few years back, folk kept asking him on his train 'vay not drive our roads?' (Yes, at 92), his answer; 'we have bloody roads in Australia', I want to see this place in comfort.

My point being, - you can keep going as long as you wish, and if you give-up on life too soon, you will only put yourself at rest sooner. Live life till you die and then go to rest I say.

One thing I recommend anyone do is skydiving. I jumped out of a plane at 15000 ft. The rush the air flying over your face at a million miles an hour and screaming your head off and not being able to hear it. Then the parachute opens and you get to soak in the view. I have to do it again when I have the time.

Sounds like one you will get to try out, when you try and keep up with me at MP :

Yes a GT and a SP do count, stop rubbing it in!

Interesting bit of info for you, I am having a lot more fun in my thirties than I did in my twenties. Fun often costs money and now I have more of that so it is all good.

By the way, don't forget the famous words of a very important car club member.

Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional!

No they don't sorry- they are muscle cars which are also great, but will not give you the same experience as say a Porche, Supra RZ, Ferrari etc, even a RX8 or 350Z. If you have a 'sports car' on your list Tori, you need to try one of those!

Sometimes it's the little things that can do it. Look what you fear most and there you will find your greatest challenges in life.

I should make one of these lists...

But my old man keeps telling me I don't have much chance of making it through the next ten years.

Hmmm as fun as that looked guys, I think I might pass on that one!

Certainly made the night very interesting though... I still smirk when I remember how abruptly that cop pulled over and jumped out of the car like he had just solved the crime of the century - what a fool _

Turning 30 is irrelevant, so I'd worked in F1, travelled the world etc. The best things in the world happened to me AFTER I'd turned 30.

So how is the list going?
