When you child wants a mobile phone because he is 11 and starting a new scool in case of emergency because he may miss a bus and you refuse because he can catch another ten minutes later.

having a hobby and purpose helps you live longer
Life is likely to last longer if it has a purpose and seems worthwhile, new research suggests.
Scientists found that pensioners with the greatest sense of well-being were 30% less likely to die within a decade than those who were least satisfied.
Researchers measured "eudemonic well-being" - an emotional state that relates to feeling in control, doing something you think is worthwhile, and having a purpose in life - in 9,000 English people with an average age of 65.
Over the next eight-and-a-half years, 9% of people in the highest well-being category died, compared with 29% in the lowest.
Taking into account a range of factors that could influence health and life-satisfaction, participants with the highest levels of eudemonic well-being were 30% less likely to die.
On average, they lived two years longer than those in the lowest well-being group.
Study leader Professor Andrew Steptoe, director of University College London's Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, said: "These analyses show that the meaningfulness and sense of purpose that older people have in their lives are also related to survival.
"We cannot be sure that higher well-being necessarily causes lower risk of death, since the relationship may not be causal. But the findings raise the intriguing possibility that increasing well-being could help to improve physical health.

My granddaughter is coming up to 6, and guess she is having a Samsung tablet for Christmas,
I can't believe how good, small children are with technology.
Myself I think she is to young for a tablet, but what do I no my daughter say's Dad you have
to go with the times.
Suprisingly I can find a pawn shop that sell's record players. Wore my last needle out.
You know you're old when you know what it means to put a nickle or quarter wrapped in rubberband on top to avoid the scratch.
Did that to my Peter Frampton (do you feel..like we do..) haha!
......when you thought Hopkins had a chance bcuz he was around your age.
As an African-American I can't keep up with the lingo...at all.
My nephew came up to me this past weekend and said "Uncle, can I chop it up with you?"
And I said "Chop it up?Nephew, you dealin' cocaine and want me to chop it up for the sale?
"
fortunately my cousin was there who is in his 30's and said, "naw man, thats the phrase for can we talk."
So I said "Oh, you mean you wanna rap to me about something, well lets rap a taste."
My nephew said, "Rap, Oh, thats what you old guys mean for flowin" Naw I don't wanna flow..I leave that for Lil Wayne and 'fifty..."
My cousin looked at my nephew and said "Naw man thats the phrase for... so you wanna talk about something."
Nephew: "yeah, Unc...I'm thinking about gettin a whip"
"I replied, "Whip? what you gotta kinky bitch into some satanic shit, betta' leave them kinda hoes alone!"
Cousin replied, Naw cuz, he means a car.
I replied "Oh a you mean a ride?"
My nephew said, "Well..yeah thats what a whip is for..to ride around.."
Me: In your ride, right?"
Nephew "What"
When he told me he wanted a car (whip) and I saw a picture of it, I really told my age and I said:
"Oh yeah, that's fly"
Nephew: "Fly? naw Uncle... it aint no space ship, it's a whip."
Thank goodness my cousin was young enough to know his lingo and old enough to remember mines. He was like a translator for two relatives living on the same planet, but different worlds
