Well I'd say the most difficult years are behind you, glad to hear you survived them. You now have the dubious pleasure of waiting till she produces a grand grommet and hoping the bloke is not a complete pillock!

You don't know the meaning of grey. My granddaughter turned 25 a couple of months ago.

What? We have that much old members as well?! OMG | :OMG:

I am not even 24 yet!

Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

Yes, and I think there are some older than me.

Are you that old, or do you have a tradition in the family to get at ... these things early ?

How do you define old? I am old to my grandchildren, but young to my (older) siblings.

Old ? Age is the digital approach. But you can be young even if aged.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, but that just means you can hope for more babies to play with soon, without having to worry about if you're raising them right !!!

My grand daughter is 25 also.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Since we last spoke, I've passed my first MS exam ( a while ago now, the first SQL Server one ), and done a lot of work to learn Angular ( although I don't use it at work ). I'm planning on learning Mongo next, got the book ready, then I want to get good enough at the minutiae of HTML5 to pass THAT MS exam. At the same time, I am vaguely aware of newer C# features that I wish I could find the time to understand more fully. I've used async/await because I have to, and I use dynamic a fair bit, but some of the new stuff where you can pass a code snippet as a method parameter, I would love to really 'get' that, but I don't yet.

During the day I am mostly playing with CRM.

How does everyone else find time to keep up to date ?
