Loose translation, "Dang, Walter, you're old."

Just kidding, Walter. We're all getting there. Me faster than Irv...

Thats not what I was trying to say, and old'er is not a bad thing... Hopefully with a little luck, attention, and self preservation we all get there someday...

Self preservation hits the nail on the head, that my friend is spot on. It really is all about "How we take care of our self"

Yep, but you have to admit you need some luck, lol.. That keeps the runaway busses, stray bullets, aneurysms, and lightening strikes at bay...

When I was around 23 a friend of mines little brother {19} died from one, first day at his first job, assistant football coach at a local high school, another gentleman from RI that owned a few gas stations I used to service the coolers and hvac for passed from one too, he was on his way to work one morning and veered off the road, they did the autopsy and found the damage to the brain, he was around 50 years old...
its scary, live every day like its 2 days before your last and you are going to spend the day before your last with your mother, {I know most people say "live every day like its your last", but that is unrealistic, since your last day would be a super sad day and you would spend it with your family and loved ones, so 2 days before is better, and then knowing the next day is going to be spent with your mom will keep you from doing anything too stupid or bad... I have put a lot of thought into this...

...live every day like its 2 days before your last...

Heck, I'd be so paralyzed with indecision on how to live that day, I'd never get anything done.

Oh, hey...guess I'm already following your advice.

My grand father used to say "TIME, if its flying your doing something right" he died at 64, but I have to say he lived everyday he lived...

This came in the mail last night. I now have to pick up a cheap coax cable and I'll be all set to finally get Dolby Digital working on my secondary system

 

[adk highlander]

Picked up a pair of these on the cheap for the kids room. They are powered so I can connect them to my whole house system and she can listen to whatever she wants in her room and control it via her ipod.

My old roomate was 1/2 Chinese (and half German, odd mix). He told me that in the Chinese culture, one of the highest compliments that you can give someone is basically "you age well".

I agree, when we go out and the bartender "cards" my wife, you couldn't chisel that smile from her face, lol... Shes 35 now, and it doesn't happen as often as it used to but every once and a while we go somewhere new and it happens, its funny to watch... I on the other hand never get carded.... I honestly think the last time I was checked was when I was underage, lol...

 

[its phillip]

I also hear that I age well Going to be 29 in November but I still get carded 90% of the time.

A lot of people say "I would like to be 25 again" and I always say "fK NO", lol The amount of work I have done from 25-34 I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy {if I had one}, I am at the point now where I don't have to work anymore, and it was a long hard road getting here, so FK NO, I will take 34, lol...

Dunno, 25 was fun, only out of college for a year, first job, getting experience, not worried about a single thing except plenty of time for mountain biking! But, 10 years later and I certainly wish I had the experience I have now when I was 25.

Getting carded, nope. It is rare for me to get carded, even by the time I was 21. But, I think facial hair is a big part of that, makes me look older (especially now that it's getting a little grey in it).

I told the girlfriend that "I didn't have any grey hairs before I met her", and that's the truth

I picked this up last night in preparation for tonight's rewire of my secondary system.

I'd love to be 25 again - doesn't mean that I want to go back in time to when I was 25.

Then again, I could make a killing in the real estate market if I did. Hmmm....

As noted in this thread - http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/general-av-discussions/92181-no-netflix-through-my-panny-dmp-bd85.html - I just picked up a Roku 3. I was surprised that the kid at Future Shop didn't tell me I needed a Monster HDMI cable to go with it. In fact, he didn't even ask if I had a HDMI cable at all (I do). If I was thestore manager, I'd fire him...

You're right, he didn't ask me about an extended warranty either! He must be new there....

I programmed my Harmony 880 to operate the Roku last night - works perfectly.
