Which BYC member scares you?

[MACCanadianCoop]

No adult responsibility and has a credit card. I see issues with this one.

Would be great for one month. Then the bills come due. Reality. Right in the kisser.

You're missing the point. Someone else pays all the bills for that month

Ooo are we playing the Guess How Old I Am game again?

Guess me next!

I’d guess 38-41 ish simply based on what I know about you.

Immortal like an elf

Oh, indeed.

Let's go with fairy.

???
So I'm like doubly immortal?

Ahem. Galadriel.

Az for the win!

Don't let @ColtHandorf hear you

Elves are immortal?

Depends on the world, but they are functionally immortal in most. They can be slain, but in Tolkien's world, they are immortal. In Dungeons & Dragons, they are long-lived, but not immortal.

I didn’t know either.

If they are I've got some little tree hugging cookie baking elves to be hunting down when the end days come.

They are probably more useful than the pretty ones.

Nothing is immortal in this world.

Depends on your definition of immortal.

Turritopsis dohrnii is functionally immortal. They are actually able to revert to an early stage of growth instead of dying. I would argue that most corals are also immortal. Should they live in an environment that we aren't constantly dicking up, so long as they have the trace elements and other necessary factors they will continue to grow forever, bar natural disasters.

That made me cringe...

My best years started back in spring of 2019.. when I met my hubby

Met my hubby when I was 16 almost 17. Lost him when I was 24. Dealt with his health declining from 18 to 24.

EXACTLY. For one month I'd like to be a teenager again. No bills. No responsibility outside of doing my laundry and taking care of silly chores.

Aren't corals more of a collective or flock? I agree that the flock (population) doesn't die but the individual members change.

Long live the collective!

or if you prefer, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

That's why I said definition. A coral is one animal with many parts. So it gets a pass in my book based on a technicality.

Ugh, that is an age I would never want to be again. It was rough in my household at that time. Loved my childhood, have a great family. Rough teenage years

I would not want to be a teenager again except for the fact that I could go for weeks on 2-3 hours sleep a night and not have my body in open rebellion as a result. Adulting has it's stresses and responsibilities, but even with all of that, Here and now with the friends, family, and experiences I have, is exactly where I want to be.

Now, where's the Tylenol and heating pad...

True, but several things are going to outlive you. Live the good life!

That’s beautiful.
