Only a fool denies themselves fun just because "that's for kids". I'm a old kid. Here is Another. Peter Mikael Englund (born 4 April 1957) is a Swedish author and historian. He has been the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy since 1 June 2009. The Swedish Academy decides who will get the Nobel Prize in Literature. Only a person who plays video games is a really serious computer users. As the childish person I am, I had also easy to lose myself in this world. Here is his old blog from 2007 https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpeterenglund.wordpress.com%2F2007%2F03%2F24%2Fabandonware%2F&edit-text= |

So whats wrong with having fun like a kid no matter how old you are? The fondest moments I have are seeing my parents have fun like kids, Me being a parent playing with my young kids and still playing like a kid with my grand kids. The best compliment of all is having a grandkid saying to you. Wow i didnt know you could be so ( Fun, Cool, Hip, Or what ever the youngins say today.) [/quote] Old James |

We have both fun playing, mostly computer games right now. You live longer having fun. A good laugh prolongs both life and the corners of the mouth |

James so i gather when you go shopping for your gran kids you think ....mmmmmm The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys:) A Ferrari is both beautiful and artwork. Toy or a car used for transportation? |

Toy or a car used for transportation? Both, but closer to the toy end of the scale. Someone may commute in a Ferrari, but no-one buys a Ferrari to commute, you buy a diesel Ford Mondeo for that. Edit: Correction, it is unlikely that someone would buy a Ferrari to commute. I realised after posting that a very few mad people might, one of my uncles for a start. (Ferrari 456) Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Toy or a car used for transportation? Some have such cars to drive fast. At least in germany. If you once drove 310 KP/H you will know what i`m talking about. I`d prefer a Porsche tho. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Some have such cars to drive fast. That's 192 mph. Crikey! Fastest i've ever driven was 120 mph down the straight at Croft racing circuit. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Toy or a car used for transportation? Was it downhill and lots of wind from behind? I have done it at 70 km/h with a bicycle. That was very scary. |

Toy or a car used for transportation? Nope but I did puff up the car a bit.... rOZZ Music Pictures |

Toy or a car used for transportation? My first Fiesta reached 210 KPH. My Mondeo reaches 240 easily. It took me less than 2 hours to belgium. Thats 400 km. I rarely drive slow (only with passegers) With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

My Volvo is limited to 125 mph (200 kph) as the 4-wheel drive system can't manage any quicker. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Um er um, could we, just perhaps, just a teeny tad, sorta wend our way and drift sedately back to rocks and art? The Venus of Willendorf ... And Aphrodite by Botticello A female figure estimated to have been made between about 28,000 and 25,000 BCE |
