I love state fairs, especially in the Fall! Aw my parents have similar stomach issues. It's a drag, hope you find something that works! You're very right, when job hunting it's really important to have a specific target in mind and not jump at things. Let me know if you have any questions...

And on the Jim Henson Hour. :)

Agreed, again it's the degree of the jokes. They used to be less cruel and sexist.

I really love these discussions guys, they're always interesting! I have to go now but Happy Halloween! ;)

Oh yeah, I wasn't really trying to be negative. It was more that I was just saying everyone has problems. You can get out of a bad area and that will solve many problems (and there are far too many bad areas in the world). But there will always be other problems to deal with. Everyone has to...

Me neither. And I don't care what people think. I use my own definition of being an adult (childlike innocence and all) and I don't let labels or peer pressure stop me. I don't know your situation, but you don't know mine either. I won't assume I understand yours fully, and I except the same...

Well I see Clifford as Classic because he was on the Jim Henson Hour. That's where I know him best. I wasn't a big Muppets Tonight person.

Nobody has it easy. There are better places, but there are no "good places." Everyone's life is difficult. But we grow as a human being so we can learn how to do our little part to improve the world. Growing up is just that child learning even more ways to make an impact. If you remain...

Well that is a part you often hear about. But there's definitely also a lot to enjoy about being an adult, as we've said. Being an adult doesn't mean you have to listen to peer pressure. It's not something anyone forces you to do. People may try, but it's really up to you. Being an adult is also...

You're right it is a matter of opinion. You can't go by other people's labels. But you can't assume that adult just means bad things either. Nothing is that black and white. Children are wonderful and contribute a lot to the world. But there's a lot of things they can't do. They won't be able to...

Oh that's not how I see it at all personally. ;) Childlike is simply the opposite of childish. Childish means immature and stunted and irresponsible. People who never grow up and never become anything good. Childlike is adults who always retain that special innocence and wisdom (which is more...

Neither do I, that's what I meant by childlike. ;) I get you. I guess what I mean is there's good in being a kid and in being an adult.

Don't feel bad, I nearly missed it at the last second. ;)

Definitely, I'm fine with that. :) I was just saying some things are there for kids to enjoy. And there always has to be adults to give and help them. We can't all be kids, some of us have to take care of them. Now of course, we can be childlike, that's different. :)

Glad to hear it! :)

I understand. Life isn't easy sometimes, it's unfair. I guess what I'm trying to get across is a good thing about getting older is that you're now in a better position to give and help children and the less fortunate. To make sure they have the things you didn't get to have. It is better to...

Oh I agree, the "mischief night" nonesense is awful and should be frowned upon. It's not so much that I "frown upon" older people trick or treating, it's just that the givers of the candy are doing this for small children to make them happy because they can't buy it on their own. It's a treat...

Good for you! And I agree, dressing up is one thing, but trick or treating's not great after a certain point. And anyway, it's also fun to be the one to hand out the treats!

It sort of reminds me of the masquerade balls Jim used to have for the company. It's great when adults can have that freedom that you sort of forget about later on. :)

Maturing is great, but we can prefer the crazier side too. :)
