YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING "MARVELOUSLY MATURE" WHEN.............1. You and your teeth don't sleep together. 2.. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any. 3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal. 4. Your back goes out but you stay home. 5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture. 6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch. 7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio. 8. When happy hour is a nap. 9. When you're on vacation and your energy runs out before your money does. 10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to you and you always hated it. 11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age. 12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there. 13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up. 14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired. 15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.
16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr. 17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going. 18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend. 19. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot. 20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals. 21. It takes twice as long to look half as good. 22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work. 23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time. 24. You sink your teeth into a steak - and they stay there. 25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good. 26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore. 27. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart. 28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.

Who said I want to be mature? We own a Prowler, don't we. Is this a PRACTICAL car?NO. Is this an SUV? No Is it environmentally green? No. Is it a family car? No. Is it a grocery getter? No. Is it usable in the winter (Northern USA & Canada)? No. Can I use it to pull an RV? No. Is it affordable to own? No. Is it easy to get parts for? No. Is it confused with ANY other vehicle on the road. No. Would a mature adult buy a Prowler? (I don't hear you.........................)

Jimbo, You can't have both in the same sentence; a discussion on maturity & me making sense.

Wait a minute! quote: Is it a grocery getter?No.
During my cat season.......April through November..... I use mine to go to the grocery store all the time! You'd be surprised what I can fit in that cat! This message has been edited by CJ on 04-01-2005 at 06:48 AM

......and the trailer comes in handy, too! Previously posted: quote: A lady in the parking lot at the nursery came running over while I was loading the trailer. She said she and her son saw the cat and trailer when they came in. Thought it was cool, but couldn't figure out what the trailer was and why I would bring it there! She wanted to see it and was then amazed at how much it could hold!!!I've even gone to Sam's Club and loaded up the trailer!! Works great!!!! P.S. Any excuse to drive the cat!!!

Good morning, Munchkin. Your point is well taken IF you have a trailer. You must admit, however, that without the trailer, two people aren't going to do much shopping. Not everyone has a trailer. We had our Kat one month & Carol wanted to go shopping with it. "We'll just pick up "a few things". On the way out to the parking lot, I heard her say "Oh s____"! A subtle way of saying "I forgot what we drove". Don't ask me about the pain caused from pulling a 50# bag of bird seed from the foot well......... Bottom line, two people can't go shopping in the Prowler.

No, no, no........you weren't listening (men!)...........I go grocery shopping with my cats all the time. I never said Bob went with me......I never said I took the trailer grocery shopping.........The trip to the nursery was a one time thing (Sam's also). My other daily driver at the time was a Jeep Wrangler.......the cat and the trailer had much more room for plants!

Hey "She who must be obeyed", we're talking(?) about doing things together, not leaving the other half home so that groceries will fit in the vehicle. The car is not a grocery getter, that's what started this diatribe. I can't believe a male is defending maturity. What happened here? Monahan, halicat, Mike, where are you guys?

I take the motorcycle when I need to buy a lot of stuff. Sandy goes with me so she can hold the extras. The only problem is that she travels with winter clothes even in July, which takes up a lot of space.

Somehow, that's not what I was looking for. "Me thinks" we will lurk for a while & stay off the keyboard..........

7 1/2 hours later, you FINALY make an apperance! I needed you this morning, man. She was rippin' me a new lip! In any case, you made OUR point quite effectively, although she won't buy any of it. This message has been edited by Ed W. on 04-01-2005 at 02:55 PM
