    I don't have kids, but from seeing friends and my cousins kids grow up makes me feel old, lol

    When you don't have kids I don't think you notice the years go by as much, it's not as obvious as watching a kid grow up, they get tall quick!

    My kids were each 15 before google was a real thing. It was handy, since if you didn't know something, you could ask them because they knew everything. :D They are 32 and 26 now, they don't know quite as much, and there is much less drama.

    My kids are grown and have kids (teenagers) of their own. And for me, time is flying by far too quickly! I'm living in Europe now, and there are so many places we want to see, so many places to go, so much to do...and not enough time to do all of them!

    Oh no!! Is he okay?? and yes, this does make me nervous for sure, but there just isn't enough hours in a day to get them to all their sports stuff and still find time to eat

    Me too, for now I am working on North America, so many places here I want to see!

    High on my list are Alaska, Yukon, Haida Gwaii, Newfoundland and the East coast of the US. Also maybe a desert area, I've never seen a desert before.

    Where in Europe?

    I've always wanted to do an Alaskan cruise

    Me too for an Alaskan cruise. And while flying to the west coast I thought checking out Haida Gwaii would be awesome.

    In Europe my #1 place I want to see is the UK

    There is a BBC tv show called "Coasts" that I watch when it's on. It shows amazing coasts from Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. I love the ocean so I would like to visit anywhere on a coast.

    I want to see ice bergs and glaciers

    New Zealand is amazing we went to a town where there is water bubbling up through the sidewalks and we saw penguins too. Australian beaches are incredible.

    If you like coasts you have to do the Amalfi coast in Italy. it's got to be some of the most stunning scenery anywhere

    I love to travel. I will add that to my bucket list. Sounds cool

    The bonus for Italy is the Italian food.
    We were in Greece in 2015 and the beaches there aren't super amazing because they are pebbly but the men are work going to drool over. Lotsa eye candy for all to enjoy. :)

    Haha. Just be happy you don't have to take dentistry
    My mom grew up with a guy who became a dentist and eventually killed his family and himself

    I actually thought that Accountants have one of the highest suicide rates. But it's possible I made that up
