Subject: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Little Neophyte Date: 29 Oct 99 - 07:15 AM Besides wanting to be a folk legendary musician, if you could do anything, what would you do? Imagine nothing standing in your way. What kind of work would fulfill your dreams. |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Davey Date: 29 Oct 99 - 09:42 AM A young fellow said to his mother, "I want to be a musician when I grow up." to which she replied, "You can't do both, dear." I don't want to grow up, it's never too late to have a happy childhood.. Good thread, Neo... I'd like to work toward world peace, in whatever way that could be accomplished. At the same time I'd like to work toward a global cleanup of our environment and find ways to protect this fragile planet of ours. Davey... (:>) |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: katlaughing Date: 29 Oct 99 - 11:31 AM HEY! Frankits! Where've ya been!? Nice to see ya around, again! Yippee, YeeHaw! When I am very, very old, I want to have the grace and love of life that some of the old crones/wisewomen I've either known or heard of, have. They laugh at life; their feathers are never ruffled; their eyes shine with a depth of wisdom that can only come from those many years of life experience. They are not shocked by anything and accept a person for who they are. BUT, that won't be for a long time. yet. Until then I will proudly continue to never lose the wonder I've always had, taking time to spend with good friends; notice the sunset; smell a flower; pet an animal; feed the birds; write a poem; sing a song; and point out those natural beauties that light up my spirit, to others who may be too busy to see, until they are gently reminded. Grow up, nope,not me. I am having too much fun! kat |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Rick Fielding Date: 29 Oct 99 - 12:37 PM Anything but an adult! Right now I do what makes me very content (and sadly to some) highly unambitious. I just wish I'd stopped playing for drunks when I was 20 instead of 40! At various times I've wanted to be: A lighthouse keeper (with very few duties) A therapist A professional baseball player An editorial cartoonist A crusading reporter A vet John Beresford Tipton Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Cara Date: 29 Oct 99 - 03:02 PM I want to be a writer who gets to travel and has a big fat expense account . Freelance would be great but Lord knows how I would screw up my taxes... What I really really want is to be independently comfortable so that money wasn't what I worried about every minute of the day. I'd like to have my degree completed and be debt free. I'd like to be entirely fluent in at least one language, ideally in 2 or 3. I'd like to be able to spend my time doing what I want instead of what I must. I used to work in a headstart program for homeless children and I loved it but found that I can't live without a liveable wage, or the promise of one at least. So I guess it's either independent wealth or disavowing consumer culture...but I can't figure out how to swing either. |

From: Áine Date: 29 Oct 99 - 03:26 PM When I grow up I want to: (1) have a rich husband; (2) have a maid; (3) have a cook; (4) have a chauffeur; (5) have a nanny for the kids ----- Oops! Just passed the mirror on the wall and realized I have #2-#5 and they're ME! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to put up with that hunk with the great sense of humour I got stuck with instead of #1 (hee, hee). |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Peter T. Date: 29 Oct 99 - 04:06 PM Gee, Rick, and you were on the verge of edging onto my adult list! John Beresford Tipton -- God, I wish I had thought of that. Totally hilarious. (Can I be your secretary? --
DOWN AND OUT BUM: "But who wants to give me a million dollars, tax free?"
SECRETARY: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, he has his reasons, and if you ever found out who your patron was, we would have to come and take the money back again!"
DOWN AND OUT BUM: " Is it that John Tipton character you see on TV?"
SECRETARY: "Give me that cheque back you bum!" (They fight on the street corner over the wadded piece of paper. Police arrive.)
DOWN AND OUT BUM: "Officers, this guy was giving me a million dollars tax free from his secretive boss, John Tipton, and I was not allowed to guess who he was, and that is why we were fighting." POLICEMAN: "Well of course John Beresford Tipton doesn't want anyone to find out, he hasn't been paying taxes on anything for the past 10 years. Haven't you read the morning paper? Tax-free, yeah, right -- the Tax people took him away in a van last night. I bet this secretary has a few things tucked away in that briefcase of his too. Come on buddy.........."

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: lamarca Date: 29 Oct 99 - 04:35 PM A singing naturalist (and I don't mean nudist). I would like to be like Gerrald Durrell, travelling the world to exotic and uncomfortable places, photographing, catching and studying strange beasties, and travelling to exotic and beautiful places (like Scotland or Ireland or Toronto)to listen to and sing with strange fellow musicians. As this is a childhood wish/dream, I guess it doesn't really count as "growing up", though... |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Rick Fielding Date: 29 Oct 99 - 06:37 PM C'mon Peter, one person's adult is another's irresponsible dork. LaMarca, Toronto would be made more exotic by your presence, and of course anytime you want to visit, there's a bed for you at 1235 Kingston rd. By the way I HAVE been a "singing nudist" but that's another story. I have the pictures to prove it! Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: roopoo Date: 30 Oct 99 - 03:25 AM Like Liam I would like to study archaeology. I was aiming to do so once, until I got chucked out of History O-level (Victorian politics gave me a mental block) and I'd even forced myself to do Latin as well. So I went to art college instead! I also wouldn't mind my husband's job: he actually DOES get to go to faraway places and be paid for it! Problem: he gets no choice either and is at present working in Siberia! Imagine the poor beer-drinking man's feelings the time he was forced to work for 18 months in Iran! He's home for a week right now and then he's going to Kyrghyzstan for a week to appear on TV before going back to Siberia until Christmas. Oh to hell with all that! I want to be Charlie Dimmock! mouldy |

Subject: RE: BS: What do you want to be when you grow up? From: Helen Date: 30 Oct 99 - 10:32 PM If I knew what I want to be when I grow up it would be the first time in 44 years. I'm still searching. I've got the Gemini curse - I get interested in too many things, with no single, abiding passion for any one thing. It's got benefits but it doesn't help when I'm looking for sources of income because I'm Jill of all trades and .....hmm, what's the PC version of that saying? I refuse to buy into the "mistress" label. Helen |
