Hi. I joined up because I am making the transition from teaching English for 22 years to becoming a writer and educational consultant. I have published a novel and several books of poetry. Please go to my site at jeffersonhansen.blogspot.com for suggestions and help with English class — at the high school or college level. I hold a Ph.D., so I am qualified to work with students at both levels.

I'll be seventeen in a month and a day!
Not awwwfully excited. Having just moved to London there's not such a rush for me to get my license, as opposed to the need to have one in the countryside. Grah. n.n

it astonished me when I get to know......so many youngsters here. and I am a little moved by the dialogue between the dad and his child. I also like to make some young friends. And I want to introduce some article to chinese, especially to my friends.

How old is old? Mmm.
I guess you’re never as old as someone else thinks you are.
This is a big year for me. A milestone as decades go. The big 60.
And, d’ya know, it’s not as bad as you might think.

Don't worry, there are a good number of the regulars who are over thirty. Welcome and don't feel like it's not for our generation.

I never realized so many of the brilliant minds on this forum were young people! Does anyone on this forum get older than 50; I think I'll stay and see if I can keep myself at 55
I just keep saying,"Look at the bright side, discounts at the movies and Burger King, collect widows pension from Social Security in 5 years...My mother started to get thin at this age, I'm still waiting

[Virgil]

You get discounts at Burger King for being 55? I didn't know that. Something to look forward to I guess.

Am 66 & when I have the annual medical back in the UK, the doc always asks:
1. When are you going to stop working?
2. How many times do you go to the bathroom at night?
3. What about your average alcohol consumption?

Its amazing what perceptions of age are reduced to & actually its quite funny.

Answers:
1. When I stop enjoying it.
2. Once.
3. Three vodka & tonics a night. "What! large ones?" "Of course. You cannot taste them otherwise.

George Burns the 90 year old American comedian had the right outlook.
Being interviewed once on TV, was asked. "Well George, what are you doing with yourself now?" Response " Oh I eat good meals, drink good wine & play around with young girls"
" Play around withyoung girls George! Why is that?"
"Because I can't find any my own age"

I didn't realize you're 66 Manichaean. Well, fantastic.
