'WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS LET THE PLAY BEGIN"

Dear Tanis, Happybat & Raineypark....

Please, please know how very blessed you are; some of us, yeah...party man...of course...there's always the consequences. (not just my tears..others I hurt).

Hello, my name is Bill W., or Patti, or trillions of others.

(Thank You God for no more booze, dope, etc, etc, ETC)

Patti

I truly am grateful to hear of your sobriety...NOT boring...blessed!!!

Am I the only sinner in this bunch?

Nope, you sure aren't.   

Dom,

Thank You!  I was begining to think I was "the odd man, or in this case, woman, out."

I did do those things when I was a "teenager".   Except thumbing rides, I never did that.  And you know what...I enjoyed it.  Sure, it was over the top sometimes, but isn't that what being a teenagers is??

No Terry, you're not the only one.  I went to a Catholic elementary school and learned more there then I ever did on the streets!  So by the time I was 16 I had gotten all of that out of my system.   I remember getting a little wild when I was 13,14 and 15 but with an Italian father hovering over you it was pretty hard to get away with anything.  And God forbid you got caught, you definetely wouldn't do that again!

It's funny because I remember saying how much I couldn't wait until I turned 18 so I could feel free to do whatever I wanted.  But when I reached 18 and had graduated from H.S I started working full time and was either too busy or just plain tired to do any of the things I wanted to do but couldn't when I was younger!

Brings to mind something I read a while ago which said
"Now that I am old enough to do anything I want, I don't feel like it anymore."

"Now that I am old enough to do anything I want, I don't feel like it anymore."

With age comes the wisdom to know enough not to do it - or at least that's the way it should be.
