Breaking some rules

And people who drive the wrong way in car parks really annoy me .It can be quite dangerous .

I found out a lot aboutbtatooing last wekend (don't ask) and apparently on your bum really hurts .I've always fancied one on my ankle but apparently one on bone also hurts Several of the people I was with were tatooed, one quite heavily ,and all agreed it is really painful Damm.
Not exactly breaking the rules but I dealt want a sports car .Am tired of driving workhorses and am about to do my last move of DC possessions by car ....

anno it will possibly be on Granada reports!

Did a brilliant zip wire in Tasmania. Wonderful fun.

And I cannot remember who said it but "rules are for the obedience of fools, and the guidance of wise men."

Lona, if you do go zipping, I think we will need a photograph or even a video.

I like that answer BB the other one is not good! I think I look better in strong colours but think the red could be a reaction to my father.

Go for it Lona for me unless anyone makes any better suggestions it is that, probably in June, or some rather tame sounding festival.

Sorry, DD2 (although DGD2 has a glint in her eye already!)

DH is rebellious enough for both of us
DGD2 takes after him

Although I did fall off the zipwire into a muddy puddle.

Nonnie, that you are kind and warm I think. I like all cool colours. But then I was born in December

jings this is me that fell off a low roundabout at the park six weeks ago and cracked my ribs!
I am going zipping and don't try to stop me!!

So that's why I got the funny looks at the bowling competition year ago....... red shoes !!

When I got to 60 I always wore odd coloured Scholl sandals (one yellow, one pale blue). This was instead of slippers at home. When asked 'Why' I always said that I wasn't going to grow old gracefully. Sadly I can't wear them any more and have now got Crocs with multiplied flower and butterfly studs.
I would love a little tattoo but my DD pointed out that as I bruise so easily it would end up as a purple blob.
Immature -me? Of course I am and proud of it.

BB I totally love red, what does that say about me?

Did that a couple of years ago jings and had great fun, especially when they took the speed limiter off! It was persisting with rain that day too so got very muddy. Please keep the ideas coming though.

I am a rebel by nature... can't help myself. I will not break the law though and I never drive over the speed limit. It is good for the soul to rebel in small ways I think. I have to wear a uniform at work...sighs. So I wear my name badge upside down...people are always telling me it is upside down... My reply 'I AM A REBEL' There is always something you can do to break the rules. As I said....is good for the soul Give it a go

I have got more and more gung-ho as I get older, as long as it doesnt harm others, I hate being in one of those long queues for the ladies toilet, when there is usually no one in the men's , so off I pop into the men's, and usually others follow and do the same, especially when "busting"to go

nonnie you could try this Although I am sure I could fall off.

Lona! The landing from those zip wires can be cruel! Don't do it!

I agree with everyone. Do not grow old just get older and have fun.

BBBEVAN do that tattoo. I had one done on my foot when I was 60 I'm now 67 and I don't regret it.

I was a rebel in the swimming pool yesterday by swimming in the fast lane, which was empty, as there were some really slow ladies in the medium lane! (There were only 2 lanes available due to school hols and lessons). I wasn't inconveniencing anyone and I enjoyed breaking the rule for half an hour!

Lona when are you going? Are you doing the caves at the same time? My friend is having second thoughts, thinks she might be too much of a coward when it comes to it.

Anyone got any good ideas of what 2 old girls can do?

We go to festivals and dress up ...especially hats !!! Trying steam punk this year. No tattoos tho'.

Mollie, obeying rules is a sign of a considerate and thoughtful person. I am sure you wouldn't just conform for the sake of it, for example, obey a rule that harmed others.

My OH and I are both eldest children and are stereotypical 'eldests':- responsible, rule-abiding, and as socially aware as we can be. We put our bins out (and, moreover, collect them in again and hide them), tidy the garden and cut our verge grass, obey the speed limit, are polite to others, we ensured our children were good at school and so on.

I believe that everyone should have as much freedom as they can as long as others are not harmed or discomfited but this sets limits on our behaviour. These limits are rational and considerate. We do not live in a vacuum but in a society where others have rights too. I think that this is often forgotten in our current, narcissistic, YOLO world.

I used to have red shoes but they wore out - and I've got a fur coat lurking in the wardrobe .............................. and, dare I say, I don't wear knickers!! that's for a medical reason though.

I've got two tattoos and would love a third but they're rather expensive. I've also had my ears pierced three times in both ears [does that make sense?].

I am not going to grow old gracefully. for a start i'm not going to grow old - I shall grow OLDER. and i'm going to enjoy myself doing what I want, when I want, how I want, if I want .................... and if I don't want then I won't!!!!
