Young adults and later teens now seem to have so much more disposable income...and so we see young people who have basically traveled the world by the time they are 20, scuba diving in the Bahamas, chilling in Antigua, flying from the UK to Vegas for the weekend as it if it were nothing... no old grotty cars for them, they have flashy cars and erm sexually so many of them have done everything, and I mean everything.. I wonder what happens when they've tried everything...where's to go? Or does it all just get more and more extreme? That's my betting.. that everything has to be more extreme to get the same level of excitement from holidays, c... less

We were talking at work and they were saying... they would rather spend their money on holidays. One ex but still pops in a lot, colleague had wanted to build an extension for her house but says she has spent money on loads of lovely holidays this year... another colleague is going to America in a few weeks and always has lovely holidays... I'm not having any vacation this year... mainly because I have to be home to drive daughter to her volunteering over the summer period.. but I don't have any money anyway as my house and my pets take a lot of money... And that's ok... we all make choices... or some things are more pressing than others... but at the same time I do find I am missing not having a vacaton this year.. On balance I am probably happy with what I have done... I'd just really like to have enough money to do both :P less

Wonder what DonJohn agreed to do and give away to suck up to Vlad? He did it in full view of course. Nothing to hide. EXCEPT why he did it and what they talked about. SIGH. :(
Ok, so I've never seen a Harry Potter movie, nor Fast & Furious, nor The Hunger Games, nor Twilight, and I fell asleep during the one and only Lord of the Rings movies I ever tried... moreOk, so I've never seen a Harry Potter movie, nor Fast & Furious, nor The Hunger Games, nor Twilight, and I fell asleep during the one and only Lord of the Rings movies I ever tried to watch (I can't even remember which one it was), and not even one minute of the TV show Game of Thrones. I haven't committed any crime, you know.(Oh, and I never go to Starbucks.)~
