So today I turn the Dirty 30. Any advice on how to get over the 30's blues? Feeling kinda down exiting my 20's where it was acceptable to be a little irresponsible sometimes. I feel since the clock struck midnight that there are now all these expectations and responsibilities placed on me.

In no particular order ...

House

Marriage

Kids

Career

Community involvement

Charitable activity

Anything else?

Advice? Hang on for the ride. Try not to get thrown off. Keep on truckin' ...

Oh yeah, count your blessings.

When I first saw the title I was thinking this might be a thread about the supposed death of Jim Young, who went through a series of health battles some 3-4yrs ago. Happily this is not the case.

Pretty much all of that scares the crap out of me lol. I'll start with the house though (or condo given this market). Ready to buy just waiting for the right buy. Definitely don't feel ready to get married or have kids yet. To be honest, I look back to when I graduated high school and I don't think I've changed all that much.

Yikes! Definitely didn't mean to make it seem that way. I'll see if I can retitle this to not mislead anyone else.

Me too.

Hope Dirty 30 is OK and doing well.

Happy Birthday, Pauser.

Blessing #1 ... Living in Canada.

I think it was as much my (overactive?) imagination as anything else. Oftentimes threads of the type I referred to usually make it clear with a (19xx-20xx) type of mention which certainly wasn't the case here. Anyway, happy birthday, and here's to many more.

Feel the urge to give an elbow to Grady Cavness ? For the young ones out there, Cavness was a safety with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He and Young had a running feud everytime they meet. Cavness went on to play with the Lions.
