You know you're an adult with CF when...

Hi guys,

Ok - I know this topic was done before - but I wondered if anyone had ideas for some with an adult slant? Like in regards to marriage? Career? Wedding? Even parenthood?

I may use a top 10 list for a talk I'm doing, so don't share or warn me if you don't want me to use your ideas!!

I was thinking -

- You look for the wedding dress that makes you look the LEAST thin...
- You hope your bags won't be searched at the airport on business trips, or you'll have a whole lot of explaining to do to co-workers....
- You choose your career based upon health insurance offerings...

Any other ideas?

Thanks!!!!
Kris

*you smoke a nebulizer, not cigarettes
*you are proud to tell someone your age
*your kids mimic your cough when they're infants
*you work out to increase your lung capacity, not to lose weight
*you know who your true friends and lovers are because they can handle you and your CF and love you more because it made you who you are today
*you are never on a diet

-You're hoping to make it to 30 before you have to retire
-When you go to the movies you're always tempted to buy a "senior" ticket
-You're the only adult at the table still ordering regular coke instead of diet
-You go to visit your grandmother at the nursing home and are jealous of the huge variety of portable O2 that they have there (this actually happens to me whenever I visit my mom's mom!)
-Your cell phone company offers you free calls to five numbers and you seriously consider choosing your clinic and/or doctor as one of them

You actually look forward to your next birthday.

You can brag about how much you and your pharmacist have in common

You can enforce your passengers to follow your "No Smoking" rule in your car <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> (I actually did that with my new car!)

You get strange looks from your peers if you tell them your wife (or hubby) "beats you" every morning.

High School Graduation is considered a "Major Step" for us...

College is another "Major Step"...

Putting that College Degree to use by getting into your Carreer is another "Major Step"...

Marriage is considered a "Major Step" and a blessing for us...

Actually seeing Retirement would be considered a "Rarity", but something as a "Major Step" to always look forward to.
