I still consider 26 to be childhood. The Elizabethans did not consider someone to be capable of a position of responsibility until age 30. Interestingly, that is just a short while after the frontal lobes (the part of the brain responsible for so-called "executive functions" in the brain, including inhibition and planning) stop developing. Kaline is therefore almost at the end of childhood. Anthony and I are almost at the beginning of second childhood. Compar is by now well into second childhood.
I used to be a vegetarian. Sometimes I get totally grossed out when I'm eating meat (if I start thinking about what it really is) and then I can't eat it for a while. But, I LOVE sushi and shark...YUM!
Now I understand...... I hit my second childhood at.....Oh.....at 31 Minstrel, I am 45 now, I think my second childhood ended at maybe 36 or so. Now I feel like warmed over death on greased lightning with no light years left. Must be from lack of a vegetable diet....
Just to summarize here, to make sure I understand you correctly: If you stop to think about what you're eating, eating meat totally grosses you out. But... eating raw fish or sharks (whose diet consists of discarded car tires, garbage, miscellaneous dead flesh including that of drowned humans, and anything that even slightly moves in the water including not yet drowned humans) does NOT totally gross you out. Correct? I think I'm starting to understand the San Diego thing...
Minstrel, if you could only hear me laughing..... Come on man, sharks eat better than that, they eat live fish, seals and other mammals. You are going a bit overboard Minstrel in your statement, but I do understand that it is comedy.....
Are you being sarcastic AC? As for your statement about having already gone through your second childhood, I have to disagree! I believe you have not yet passed your first childhood. This is the AC that always wants to just have a laugh and play practical jokes on the welcome threads. I think some men never get passed the first childhood stage.
Just getting my last laughs in before they kick the dirt over me and place flowers on me headstone son! Believe me, I am past my second childhood
AC - I may be a child in an adults body but you're like a child in an old mans body. There's nothing wrong with being young at heart though. Nobody likes an old person who has become grouchy with age.
You seen what Minstrel said, when you hit 30 you will come into your own. Do you think Kalina will be mean when she gets there Weirfire? Oh, and you will grow up fast after you have your first child
Not you too!! Grace has been talking about babies recently as well lol! I knew I shouldn't have posted that visitors thread in the General Chat section.
See, grass is a vegetable. Cows eat grass. I eat cows. So there, I am eating grass, making me a vegetarian.
I'm a vegetarian, but I'm not strict about it. I'll eat pork, chicken, fish or beef as well. But not shellfish, unless I want to visit the ER again.
I eat eggs.... cheese. I am a vegetarian. Then by having these will i be considered a non - vegetarian ???
No. You will be considered a vegetarian but not a vegan. A vegetarian does not eat meat/animals (or usually fish, though some vegetarians do eat fish). A vegan does not eat any animal products (so no eggs, milk, cheese, etc.).
Two types of vegetarianisms, lacto-ovo vegetarians who don't eat red meat, poultry and fish and lacto-vegetarians who don't eat red meat, poultry, fish and eggs and then there's vegans... Vegan: excludes animal flesh (meat, poultry, fish and seafood), animal products (eggs and dairy), and usually excludes honey and the wearing and use of animal products (leather, silk, wool, lanolin, gelatin) I define myself as not eating anything that had a mother, although this isn't a fail safe as many a times I've been reminded of the spawning habits of the atlantic salmon... and vegie cheese is a horrid, horrid taste!
