    There was actually one date I could accurately and without doubt state what I was doing exactly 24 years prior...this is not it. This post was edited by Bozette at April 15, 2017 8:13 AM MDT

  • I wandered down some interesting paths between then and now. It wasn't how I expected my working life to finish up.

    We like your interesting paths... and we like them because you sometimes share some of them/some aspects of them with us

  • I was out with a cycle club one time, doing what I always do -- bullsh1tting -- and one of the young guys said, "Gee you've had an interesting life." I thought, No I haven't. I've had a very ordinary life. That was the day I realised that we all have interesting lives but not everybody notices and the good times slip by. I think it was Thucydides who said, "Stories happen to the people who tell them." He was right. I just seem to go from one disaster to another -- but they're funny with hindsight.

    Oh gosh, I can't remember yesterday, let alone 24 years ago!! And I had to use a calculator to do the maths :P  I would have been 28... at that time, I had 2 very small kids. I was into organic foods, I grew or had grown for me most of our vegetables, I made jam, preserves, and froze veg etc... I made my own cleaning products to clean the house...all good healthy stuff :)

  • 1993...I would have been 48 y/o...and those years were big ones for me, watershed.
    I had been at the edge of death for a few years by then with multiple chemical sensitivities...stopped weighing myself when my weight dropped under 100 lb. (45kg.). A few near death experiences.

    I had already faced the reality that physicians could not help and were not interested. I was withdrawing my total dedication from scientific materialism and exploring alternative medicine; I was meditating, paying attention to mystical experiences, and realizing that at heart, I was not an atheist.

    Is it true that the unexamined life is not worth living?
    Well, 24 years ago I was beginning to examine my life.

    I have zero idea what I was doing 24 hours ago EXACTLY.

    24 years ago I was 42 and breaking up with a loser, moving from Florida to Chicago and working in the Loop for the summer.  It was easy to get sales jobs and make money back then.
