    You seem to take a joke well enough.
    Ok, so I'll get a bit prickish.
    You know you're average when you can live off the system...and like it.
    You know you're average when you count on social security.
    You know you're average when you can no longer afford to live in your home country.

    You know you are average when you concede to the masses.

    I used to have a Catholic GF

    One day, early on in the blossoming relationship she asked me a defining question.

    Honey, man of my dreams, hung like a horse ... are you of the Catholic faith?


    I looked bemused as she got most of me right.

    I am, ummmm, errrrrr, my parents are ...

    Oh, OK, if mum asks ... just say you are agnostic.

    I am distinctly average. Had a lucky career. Retired but couldn’t settle.

    Found the grind for more money a little unsettling. Got divorced, put myself through uni. Became disillusioned, (and divorced) and moved to Thailand to live off my service pensions.

    Am now averagely distinct. No social security, but still living from one pay day to the next.

    For some reason, I can’t get overexcited about serious stuff. Life, Brexit and the future are passing by at an average speed.

    Can you imagine anything more mediocre?

    So I may do just that.
    Nothing to proove, hide or gain.
    I know it sucks to be average.
    Homey has a bell curve for that.
    Love to all, Dan.

    Actually it doesn't suck to be average. That is all a state of mind Fish. I never understood people that compare themselves to others to establish where they fit in the social hierarchy.

    Just live it.

    Being average is a blessing. Who needs the hassle of insuring that luxury automobile, or the worry of losing it?

    I agree. Live within your means. Financial independence and no debt go a long way in enjoying a quality life.

    Still not really sure what Average means. Are we talking physical looks, Financial position, position at company, house they own etc. It really only matters if one is trying to compare.

    Don’t think it has much to do with status, it’s more about a failure to achieve your potential, and admitting it?

    Didn't mean to get you all uptight. This, the "door" is a bit of a game for me at this stage. Believe me I've looked at Old Monkies' crib and thought Holy Hell now that is something. Not taking away from anyone regardless of who they are or what they have done but for me I know there are a few more bridges I have to cross here before I feel free enough to blast off to...

    Many things up in the air, you all should get that by now. What goes up must come down.


    PS. didn't read that into Biaz. Does that mean that that Bob was a gitoy?

    Now you got me looking into Biaz 1965 part two.

    Don't worry sizzler I'll let you look it up.



    Now I'm bicurious.



    Not you Cujo by sizzler I was referring to the man in the spanking white suit.

    I get you JPPR. Wait, let me clarify. I understand your last statement regarding cast and in so much as I realize like the topic of this thread that it is not so much as to what you have done or where you could be but as in my case doing what seems normal or the status quo.

    Yea could I have thrown out the old deck chairs? The stupid screens? The old trailer for that matter. You see I have to come to grips with that as it's not how I was raised. I did give my brother the Shlitz canz for watching my crib while I was away so that was a start. I've a couple Ford straight sixes in the shed. I ain't asking for much. Any takers?
