Aye Andy
Very True.
The only answer is ....
Down in the Jungle living in a tent
Dont use money dont pay rent
Dont even know the time but you dont mind
When your pile ..is on the wane
You dont complain ...of robbery
Whats the use of worrying ...no use !
Whats the use of hurrying ... no use !
WHATS THE USE OF ANYTHING?Comment

American Express tried an ad that expressed the changing ages:
Age 17, ambition: buy suit.
Age 35, ambition: buy handmade suit.
Age 52, ambition: burn suit.
I felt I understood that, from my own experience:
age 22, apply for American Express card (invited to reapply later in life).
age 37, accept pre-approved American Express Gold Card.
age 51, close American Express account.Comment

How very true, I was given a platinum card "wow by invitation only" only to find that it has no more spending power than a green or gold card, when I decided to spend more than my monthly profile/limit, it got reffered to Amex ! who then said they needed bank refs etc !!! so much for no questions asked spending power !Comment
