Happy Birthday?

I can relate to the potholing experience.

Did you tell your seventeen year old self to wear sunscreen?
|
My 17 year old self later discovered the same about black olives.

Think I've worked out the yearly Mystery Count.
It has to be "Number of big toes on my right foot". |
I sometimes think about writing advice to my younger selves, but often just end up wondering about the paths I didn't take. It's not that I don't like the life I have, but if I was going to do it all again, I think I'd do it differently to see how that timeline turned out.

My 7 year old self had to write with an Osmiroid pen and nib. When I started using a biro my handwriting went downhill. Teacher did really know best!
|
I'm trying to work out how much of this advice might have come from your dear old dad.
|
I've never really understood what "showing off" is exactly. Just that you're not supposed to do it.

The best laugh I've had in many a long day - thankyou. The first and final nuggets remain the most memorable.

Advice to dg from a time traveller who knows his future self in 10 years time.
* It's OK, the world didn't end in the next two years. * But if you were surprised by some of the stuff that happened in 2020/1/2, just wait till you see what 2026 has in store. * Those health worries you had in the past still haven't materialised. All that walking you are doing is paying off - keep it up. * Who knew that Dangleways would be the future, in every city in the UK. Just a pity you didn't copyright the name. * The guy who did is doing well though, isn't he? * In two years, 3 months and 11 days time, you are going to make a really smart move. Follow your instinct. * In 10 years time, you still just as cool as you are today. |
A mixture of funny and poignant - I'm both uplifted by this and (transiently) becoming a little too introspective at the same time. Classic dg in a good way.

17 year-old me also needed a talking-to for similar reasons.
