I’m 43 and I miss those days. Not necessarily being younger but a time when our lives weren’t controlled by technology in every corner. I miss going out without a phone, and just getting home at the end of my day and listening to messages on the answering machine. People were more patient then. They had to wait before getting you on the phone. They didn’t stalk your every move. You could go out, have fun, care free without spending every minute checking a gadget for a missed call or text. We’ve lost our freedom. And yet I can’t leave my phone at home. I’ve become one of them.
I know exactly how you feel.
Ah, the good old answering machine! I remember rushing home at times to see if Id received a phone call that I was anticipating!

Great picture and caption! Are you really nearing the big 4 0? You don’t look it! 🙂
Aww thank you! Actually yes I am, in November *tear* 😀
I like the picture. ‘)
Ha. Indeed. Even a blog, because I know the 20-something drunk me would have been posting all sorts of rubbish.
But don’t worry about the number – that’s all it is. 🙂
Oh indeed. I’m embracing being ALMOST 40! lol
I become more and more myself as time goes by!
Yes photos, blogging, social media, everyones lives are documented now!
I turn 50 next month. I crave the days before cell phones and the immediacy of everything have to be now. Happy early birthday!

The good thing about nearing 40 is you’re still 20 years away from 60. 🙂
I suppose so! I’m happy with being 40.
So was I, all those years ago. 🙂
Thats why we suggest you “Don’t drink without pants on”
