ya know Glenn, absolutely none of those things apply to me even though I'm 59 years old. I've never eaten at McDonalds no less feed my dog their leftovers. I sleep on a sofa in the living room even though I have a king size bed in one of the bedrooms. I get to sleep at around 2am and am up at 8am and start work at around 10am at the earliest. Not being a drinker doesn't really save me any money but a cheap bottle of wine always makes me feel good, sometime a little wine in the water pipe does wonders.
Beer, as harmless as many think it is has killed more teenagers and older persons then all the drugs put together!
I still like fast cars, fast women, hot wings and long vacations......

I don't know whether Joey's lifestyle is the same as mine but his hours sure are are. I only found four that "somewhat" applied to me.
#1. I 've always been good with plants of any kind. #3. I've never keept beer around the house #6. We travel a lot on weekends to outdoor events, otherwise I couldn't care less. #20. I buy the bigger bottles

(Not quite, more like 8 - 9ish) ~ 6. You watch the Weather Channel. (Early mornings on sbs with the weather and classical music count? Followed by a dose of home shopping shows and/or early 90's sitcoms.) ~ 7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. (I have a pair of friends getting an engagement ring and wedding ring made for their wedding... now that's scarey!) ~ 9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." ~ 10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo. ~ 11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. ~ 12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. (I don't know what time KFC or Maccas close, does that count?) ~ 14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers. (well, I have a couple of rats, and they get premium lab pellets and rodent mix ) ~ 15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. ~ 20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." ~
Well, I'm half way there *laughs*
