interesting stuff... i don't think i'll ever completely grow-up & really don't feel like an adult most of the time... it's weird -- sometimes i take myself too seriously & other times i don't take myself seriously enough... but i consider myself a responsible person... i believe we should keep the inner child alive always... RYC: this weather is getting to me ... the rain & the humidity... my cats (both long-haired) are lying stretched out on their backs with their feet up in the air, trying to catch a cool breeze from the open windows...

I listened to that installment of Talk of the Nation show yesterday. Peter Pandemonium was my favorite phrase. I still like to watch bugs bunny cartoons. Does that make me a Peter Pandemonium?

I think of my mother when she was the age I am now, and in my mind, she was much older then, than I am now.  And it makes me wonder if she felt like a "grown up" at the time or if she wrestled with the same thoughts.

I certainly don't advocate a return to childhood as a way to abdicate responsibility, but I think it's fabulous that someone finally stood up and asked "Why can't I still do this ??" 

ryc:  I think there is a great deal of truth in what you're reading.  I find I have to keep pushing the thoughts away, and refuse to let myself linger on them.  Eventually, they fade.  Hopefully, the thoughts will catch on to this as well.  Thanks, sis :)

Okay, I'm guilty. I don't always click on the links. I'll probably go over there tomorrow. Anyway, I can tell you right now that I'm probably considered pretty adult. I was adult when I was a kid!

RYC: thanks for the comment about my non-friend. Hubby and I had a long talk and he can't see how she's a user, but I'm not sure. He thinks she's just spacy and not thinking. But I can't see how someone can space out THAT MUCH and forget to invite me to parties, etc. I think you are probably right, and I'm just ready to move on. Blogging about it helped me leave the pain behind. Your support was really helpful.
