Thank you very much for taking the time to follow through on this.?ÿ Especially the comments that tell us much more than simple averages.
I loved the pig latin and alcoholism answers.?ÿ Shows we have a collective sense of humor.
Alcoholism is a cause to go into, away from, around, out of and back into.
But hobbies?
It's a full time activity. Just ask the artichoke I used to married to, I guess that would make her a pickled artichoke.?ÿ ?????ÿ
I loved the pig latin and alcoholism answers.?ÿ Shows we have a collective sense of humor.
Had a therapist once that felt my cynical sense of humor was "passive-aggressive" behavior.
It made me a little angry but didn't say anything at the time.?ÿ When I left the session I keyed his car.
Q9 How many employees in your employers Company?
757 Average. 2 had 10000 which really boosts the AVG Most below 100
Which goes to show, there is no "average" surveyor
good stuff
The cynical sense of humor hounds some of us more than others. I was able to cover it up with the hobby of alcoholism for many years but figured out that I only hid it from myself. As I see these characteristics in other people it makes me understand just how damaging they are and helps me continue to change them in my own life.?ÿ
The road to the "high end of reported ages" is a rough and rocky one, seems like it turned to single-track a little sooner than I thought it would.
Interesting comments.
When we are young we have thousands of potential paths to follow.?ÿ As we become more established the number of potential paths to follow shrinks.?ÿ By the time we reach the age of our grandparents (as we remember them)?ÿ many of us have pretty much settled on a single path to follow.?ÿ As we begin to near the end of the road, the roadbed narrows and narrows.
Then there are the exceptions to the rule who retire, buy a large motorhome and never have a permanent address again.?ÿ Old kids running away from home.
As we become more established the number of potential paths to follow shrinks.?ÿ
It isn't that the number shrinks so much as it is the turnoffs get much steeper.
