Your replies are all very interesting. I particularly concur with this one:

to be happy with what you have and not always strive for more

Never being content or happy with what you've got must be exhausting!

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading my replies.

Yes, I'm sure it must be exhausting always to look at what other people have that you don't have.

Fellow Professionals fan! I was so obsessed as a teen, I got all the books *grins* Now I have the DVDs =D

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Hi, fellow Professionals fan. I loved them when they were first aired in Germany and then re-discovered them in 2013. Maybe you would like to join the Pros-communities here on LJ. You can find some of them in my profile.

Or give me a shout if you're interested. :-)

[bk_forever]

I'll take a look! I haven't written anything in the fandom, but it would be cool to see what fic there is.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Do that. One where many stories are is DiscoveredinaLJ. It's a seasonal com with lots of great stories or pictures.

[bk_forever]

Thanks! I've subscribed so I can find it easily =)

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

And there are a lot more, you can find them over my profile.

[bk_forever]

I did take a look and subscribed to a couple of others. Thank you!

I enjoyed reading your replies.

And I too agree with your 'useful skill to teach the kids of today'.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reading my replies. I still have to go to your journal to look at yours.

And isn't it weird with some kids today? They have a lot more than our parents or we had when we were kids and they are never happy. Some of them only want more and more and more stuff.

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

You are welcome.

It really is. I often despair of kids of today. And not only do they want more and more and more, all too often they get it, which doesn't really help :-(

2. As a child, I wanted to become a…

Forester or a Vet


Either would have been so wonderful!

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, to be in nature and/or work with and for animals would have been wonderful. Sadly my dream doesn't come true.

Thank you for taking a look.
