    @St. James. It might also have something to do with the fact that at 18 we think we know it all. At 65 we know we don't know it all. (Some of us anyway.) :) Bad or selective memory helps too.

None of this 'avatar' malarkey and new-fangled graemlins. Why, I remember when we had to make due with: :) ;) :( :p ;P :D 8) :^) :* <eg> <BEG> <g> and my husband's favorite: :{)} <sigh>

    <crrrrrack!> Whoops! Gotta run, kids. I think 1990 is breaking loose again! :p

    Wow, even though Youthful Rebellion is only a 5 year category, it is cleaning up big time here.

    Not as many young innocent whippersnappers so far this year compared to last year. Maybe SP needs to do more to appeal to the younger generation, otherwise it will end up being taken over by geezers (imagine what it will be like when Chevalier becomes a geezer......)

    Mighty Debt Builder... better than Ageing Geezer, I guess...

    Well, in this country, yes... apparently I'm abnormal in that, at 25, I don't live at home while saving for a deposit and working full-time. Go figure!

    Youthful Rebellion for a year and some more. However, I've always been told i act older than my age... guess that explains my "Mighty Debt Builder" tendencies.

    Hmm, I wonder who all those aging geezers (and geezerettes) are.

    Still, almost half of SP people are part of the Youthful Rebellion. If they get a couple more members they will have a majority and be able to govern on their own!

    How doesn't surprise me that most of us here are young, considering how helpless the old farts are with computers more often than not... Someone send them a letter and tell them to move away from the front of tee-vee. Nowdays we have computers for that. ;)

    Bah, it took MORE skill to play computer games back in the old days when computers weren't as powerful. Nowadays the PCs are so hi-tech they do all the work for you. Kids nowadays. What do they know about anything? They barely know they're born.

    Splunge, stop trying to rebel against your geezer-ish tendencies. You can't recapture your youth. Embrace the geezer within. Tell us about how many miles you had to walk through snow to get to school............

    . . . uphill, both ways, in the snow . . .

    And when we were young, we didn't have any toys. We were lucky and grateful if our parents gave us a cardboard box to play with. Most of the time, we played with dirt. AND WE WERE HAPPY!!

    :shake: :grin:
