I can't remember back that far, but if my list was "party your ass off then have some babies," I'm spot-on! |

lol mukibubb you made me laugh.
TLC did not come up with a very interesting list, in my opinion. There's no 'Dance on a cathouse tabletop in 3 inch heels' or 'Kiss a stranger' or even 'Astral project just once' and I could go on.
I can't stand age restriction anyhoo; I'm 35 and still have a list of things I want to accomplish before I'm no longer of this body. How about 30 things to do before you're dead? |

Oh mannn, I feel so bad!! I hope I did not misread that- is that your list or TLC's? I feel so bad now- total apologies! I just like knocking tv corporations, don't mind me. Your list is fine and wow, that's great that you have actually done all that. I guess I need to wake up before getting on these forums....
**face is soooo red, apologizes profusely** |

Well, I've kissed plenty of strangers.
There was a list in a local Philly mag, it was 30 under 30 in the tech industry. It made my dad sad, because I think success stories worthy of mention are the baby boomers who changed careers later in life and made it in the tech industry. My dad was a manager at a grocery store for a long time, then went back to school, all around the age of 40, and now has a very high paying job in the IT industry, and I always thought that was amazing. It must be hard to change course in the middle of life. |

that's what i've done.
but, doesn't TLC kinda suck? (you don't ex-boyfriend- you have adorable stuff! & a great avatar, & lots of other qualities that rock, surely)what does it stand for? i hate those frickin' lists! pressure!!!!! (here i am participating) do i therefore hate myself? nah! i've done too many of those things! but it's an elite list in a lot of ways- we're all pretty lucky to have done those things!
it should be things to do before you die.=^.^= |
