>>But if it makes you all feel better I was talking about when I am sixty I plan on being feeble (because I will play hard now and wear myself out).

Not crystal clear, but I think that was as close to an explanation/apology as I could have expected from you. Keep working on improving your manners and we may let you buy some msft someday.

Toy, you think you have it figured out, but you are so off course it is painful to watch. Since you brought up the age thing, then I feel OK in telling you this. You exhibit typical concepts of reality and time seen in 20-30 year olds. You believe that you must spend your time and money on short sighted pursuits. Instant gratification takes too long. You think that anyone over 55 is old, feeble, and stupid. Anyone who doesn't think the way you do about anything at all is not very smart. Everyone is a lemming except you.

"Young people, nowadays, imagine that money is everything, and when they grow older they know it." -Oscar Wilde

Your shortsighted, arrogant selfishness will cost you dearly. You will realize this eventually. The sooner you do, the sooner you will begin to understand what true happiness is and how you can achieve it.
