25 Ways to Tell You’re Grown Up

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 am is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favourite songs on the elevator.

6. You watch the weather channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce, instead of “hook up” and “break up.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14 days.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those @$%#! kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 am would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for Ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer ‘Pretty good ****.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking “Oh ****, what the hell happened?”

26. Bonus: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old add.

Too funny (and too true)!

Are you starting rumors??????

(I am not a troublemaker, I am an instigator)

 

[micmse2003]

Yep, I'd be labeled type A pretty quickly . . .LOL. Have trouble NOT being in charge

Maybe that is why so many of us do not like flying. We trust nobody but ourselves.

 

[yargrnhoj]

Bet they weren't as much fun!

Well, on one of them, you were allowed to argue and fight and be rude, so I fit in better over there.

ok..yargrnyoh [did you use to play with yo-yo's when you was little?]

No, just "yo's". I couldn't ever get them to come back to me.

I love the British term "takeaway" Makes much more sense (and so much more elegant) than TO GO . ..LOL Can you tell I watch a lot of old British comedy on PBS . . .LOL DH thinks I'm silly and it was his mum that was from England . . .

I know its a British insitution the takeaway as I posed I remembered the USA version.

Indian Takaway, Chinese, pizza, never see to go here??


I do prefer the USA restrooms to our loo's it sounds more posh!

I know the feeling Diane . . Got married at 27, had DS#1 at 28 and DS#2 at 30 (just days from being 31). Wouldn't change it for the world . . .LOL. Glad I had time to travel, meet some of my professional goals, and live life before children. My only wish was that I had more time with DH before we started having kids. Guess we'll have lots of time once they are grown and gone My best friend in high school got pregnant at 17 (and married) and had twins at 21. She was divorced by 30 and is now exploring what life is like. Her oldest is grown and the twins should be finished with school soon. She has the rest of her life to enjoy and still be young Guess it just depends on how things work out . . . I found my DH at just the right time And he's a keeper!

We met when I was 23, got married when I was 25, and I kept putting off having kids till we were more financially secure. Just wasn't happening so when I hit 30, I said that's it time for kids! Actually I'm glad I didn't end up having kids in my early 20's, because I wasn't ready yet. I might've still acted like my mother & used her as a role model. That's scary! Heck we'll still be young when they're all grown up & we can start partying all over again!

I just got assignment for watching the Zodiac movie. The movie is 2:40 minutes long. Anyone heard if the movie is THAT good. I do not cope well sitting longer than 2 hours.

 

[Esteri]

Still 5 pages buck, but I'll get in the responses I've got "collected up" now...


Welcome Home Todd. I hope you find peace and healing.

Well...
... this really interests me cuz right now I have two little girls (age 3 and 5) trying to sleep or asleep on either side of me. I used to think - do normal folks do this?

...

At any rate... we were still unclear about how we would approach getting the kids to sleep alone or just the two of them together... as some have suggested. I was toying with the idea of shopping for kids furniture with them with say 2 beds in a cris cross bunk bed like configuration. Or maybe get them into two seperate bedrooms. SHoot... I am mildly confused and totally undecided on the matter now... but it IS something I am looking forward to - so my spouse and I can return to every nite being like it was before we had the kids.

DS9 and DS5 share a room. DS9 is in a loft bed, and DS5 has a twin. It works well for them. Eventually, they may demand being split up - and I'll loose my office . But for now it's good. They're pretty tight despite the age difference.

DS5 still asks for one of us to lay down with him. And he does fall asleep faster when we are there. How much of that is becasue we keep them from telling jokes all night? We're weaning him off of that now - and we only lay down with him 3 or 4 times a week. And we've let him know that once he turns 6 - we won't do it any more. Of course that's at the end of July. So, he's got a long time to get used to the idea.

However, some other rumors are quite true about using glue for holding skimpy swimsuits in place and surgical tape to add to the appearance and refinement of cleavage.

So that's how it's done!!​

There is no such person as Theresa. She's Lisa's imaginary DIS friend.

* maybe i go out on limb, but it just the way i think about family

values and any disney trip. i didn't appricated my wife & family​

blessings ,say 20 or 10 years ago,,,,it was a learning process.

it was true, that on our first cruise in 99..i was draging my feet

as hard as i could..my wife set all that up, & her family didn't
give her any more support than me. . in the end, we
discovered alot about ourselves that were on agenda...
i remember her parents..we're not going to be stuck baby sitting"
at the end they 're begging for jordan...who knows what we're
all getting into...but i just like to say...everyone being brave in
telling their stories has made this a very interesting and heart-
warming site. for one example, v.man, it did my heart good that
you reported sharing gave you comfort...though my professional
career laced me into similar situations of life and death..it was
nothing compared to experiencing on your family level. i don't
think i could have fill your shoes...the things you gave, at
such a young age. or lisa taking on her school principle, besides
encouraging her, i hope others will do the same...that's why i told
the wal mart story..."it's takes a community to raised children up
where they feel safe and "valued". let's say, i am ver defensive
toward my children. yes, i've been into confrontations including the
courts. but underneath, the same feelings are what driving us to seek
a dcl cruise...the good things. thank you miss judy girl for bringing
us all together....* while most of my comments are humorous, i
think this is going to be the best cruise ever, just from the people
going. ...​

​

​

I agree. This is going to be a great cruise. We will find a way to pay for this trip. How could I do a no show with family??



Well, I've sacrificed myself for my children. I'm working from home this week (get more work done, and I get to goof off with you guys at lunch!) and what did I find in the pantry? A can of Spaghetti-Os!! How on earth did they get there? Maybe they came home with DH afer his last weekend away for reserves?

Anyway, to protect my children from the corrupting influence of Spaghetti-O's. I ate 'em.

In case you were wondering... they haven't changed in the last 30 years.

I met my soulmate at 16. We waited to marry until 21. We had a five year plan before having children. Surprise We had a child a year later. It is now 38 years later and we are still happy. Somehow if you find the right partner, it all works out!!! We are not that young now but we can still party hearty.

Maybe that is why so many of us do not like flying. We trust nobody but ourselves.

I love flying . . only wish I could pilot myself. Same with Nascar . .. just don't see the point unless I"m the one flying around the track at high rates of speed. . .

 

[jonesing]

I have to be honest , the whole viewing thing was way creepy for me and I really didnt handle that well, but did make it through and couldnt wait to get back to hold my kids. I wish this man would have gotten to get to know his grandkids, but as I said I have made my peace and have forgiven him ...

Welcome back! I agree with you about viewings. When the favorite of my 12 aunts died they had a viewing for her. My mom insisted that I go see her one last time. "Why?" I asked, "I remember her exactly how she was, I don't need to see her unnaturally posed." But mom wouldn't hear anything of it and made me go. I was 25 at the time and then began to realize, it wasn't for me, it was for her because this was her eldest sister and she could barely walk into the funeral home.

However, THE creepiest situation was when my aunt's husband (same aunt) died some 4 or 5 years earlier. The church service was open casket! And what's worse, as the preacher was whipping the congregation up...THEY WHEELED THE OPEN CASKET OVER TO US FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE FRONT PEWS!!! It was at that point that my aunt utterly broke down into hysterics! Up until then she was calm and contained but that didn't jibe with the

preacher's plans! He wanted her to loose it because he was working the crowd!

When DW's mother died in a tragic house fire, we had to have a closed casket but DW would have done that anyway because she doesn't like the idea of seeing people posed like that. She got really sad this week because DS won't ever get to know either of her parents.

Well if I am imaginary .. someone better thank DH, because he has a great one! . . .can I just imagine being in a sunny warm place today . . .LOL

 

[DiaLady]

I will convey that to Theresa since I sent her the updated manifest to convert & post.

See what happens when I disappear and attempt to work instead of hanging out with you folks . . .LOL Took me awhile to figure out why I was an imaginary webmaster . . .Theresa's DIS NAMe is DIALADY . . . (short for diamond lady)

By the way, Lisa, I'm not on the manifest list you sent . . . . .I'm working on it and hope to have it on the website by the weekend. I also have room for any links on the individual stops we're making . . .Perhaps we'll be able to unveil the beginnings of the new website over the weekend . . .what do you think, Lisa??
