Pop’s right. As to the side comment. God should have given a bit more thought to that airline food.

I wouldn’t mind going back to my late 20s, but there’s not enough money in the world to make me go through adolescence again!

I reckon ……..It was Bette Davis who said, “Old age ain’t no place for sissies!” And yet Dr. Cook believes that what really matters as we age is not the condition of the body, but that of the spirit. We can find meaning and purpose no matter what our age.

All that, only to someday end up OLD again? No way.

“If God had wanted us to fly, He wouldn’t have created airline food.”

I have seen old photos of airline food. Carts filled with gourmet delights and exotic treats. One cart could feed a family of four for a week on how much was provided.

The meals I have gotten on airlines… wouldn’t satisfy the hunger of a Picky Eater Toddler! That is if it doesn’t kill them because of a Nut Allergy. And they were strangely stale!

I want a time machine! I want to go back to the time era where the food was better than a five star restaurant and enough room to be able to relax and enjoy the ride!

Say what, gramps? I still have half of those things…

But to go back in time? Yeah, maybe…

Pimples and puberty I’d be willing to put up with as long as I didn’t have to relive school (and, specifically, HOMEWORK) the second time around. And as long as the knowledge I gained the first time around didn’t get erased on the backward trip to get there.
