I'll be 46, I see myself (hopefully) running my establishment (group home for touched folk, the best one around) managing the staff and looking after folk. Of course for this to happen I see myself with a good business partner to do all that executive functioning stuff that I'm not good at, all the businessy things that involve finances. Whether this person will be a husband or not is up for debate. I've never had any luck with men so what makes me think I will in future. I don't expect to have lots of money or anything, I just want us to make enough for my folk to have lots of fun things to do and fun places to go, for us to employ good people to look after them, for me to go to Ireland once a year or two, to go other places (closer ones, Eire is the only place I'm willing to fly that far and long for). I would also hope that I've garnered a following in regard to my trad singing, I don't want to be famous, but I'd be happy if people come to Renaissance faires excited to see me perform. Note that this is what I want for 2032, in actuality we'll just have to wait and see.

I really really don't have a clue. I would love to have an interactive mideval history museum ( or at least a themed restaurant) Hubbs would be freaking ecstatique to get dressed up as a pirate everday and go to work, hah.
Anybody have a bootful of cash lyin around?? No?

That sounds like such fun Wish, especially the resturant idea, you could host Midieval dinners and I could come and sing. It would be so fun.

Its creepy how much crap there is in our food supply. Maybe you could get a juicer? You could use it in the summer and fall when fruit is less expensive, it would probably be expensive to use it all year round when produce isn't in season. But it might just be worth it if you're concerned.

It has been a few days let me try this again. Things will get a little worse before they get better. But they will get better, especially after we all admit that greed is a bad thing. Stop promoting greedy self-serving...(you get the idea) into positions of political or economic power. Can I write fiction or can I write fiction?
I hope that by 2032 I will be making living in a way that I love 80% of the time. Writing will work. I will own my own home and have money tucked away for a monsoon season if necessary.
I wouldn't mind having a good man in my life by then either.

The mayan new age is at the end of 2012, so we have a year still. I think this age ends in a world war. I don't know if Obama will do it, he has expanded the war a lot but he balks at world war, and for that, the neocons might just get rid of him. The person I see as most likely to go for it is Hillary. On the GOP side, maybe JEB, but none of the current hawks seem to be remotely electable, and I sincerely doubt Newt or Romney is going to start a world war. I doubt either of them has ever started a brawl, or even an argument.
Anyway, after the war there will be the chaos, post apocalyptic Cherry 2000 land.
During this time, the neo-fatcats will have become so fat we will call them hippos, and they will propose a new one world form of government called hippocracy.
The glutinous government will exists in bartertowns dotted across the landscape, in some places thriving, like in the toxic orange glow of Frackistan, and other places dwindle and disappear, like in New AboraBorea.
I think I'll be advisor to the king and queen of Dreamland, and I'll appoint Bytemite as ambassador to Fremtopia. I'm not sure what planet we'll be on. Some really dangerous space travel might be involved.
ETA: To see where we might be in 20 years, I suppose it's worth looking at where we were 20 years ago. Smells Like Teen Spirit was playing, Doom was being written, but the concept of electronic finance was me calling a number hooked up to a black box modem to get a screen shot of someone else's stock chart. In fact, that's what the internet was. Genetic engineering consisted of sequencing and what was nanotech? A computer that did 1/1000th of what your phone can do consumed 1000 times as much power. Oh, and we were bombing Iraq.
I guess some things in the world change radically, and others don't. I guess from here I can see clearly that globalism isn't evolution, it's a land grab by some very backwards-minded individuals. I recall designing a social network at the time. It was a school, it consisted of books, posted as files on a server, and people would, in theory, call up the computer and download them to their portable reading tablets, which we had to invent for the purpose, and then send emails about them. It was hard to see here from there, so it must be equally hard to see 2032 from here. I guess it's probably a near-certainty that this reality will contain an artificial intelligence, I mean a truly self-sentient one, and it's pretty damn near impossible to predict what the result of that will be. What if it thinks 10,000 times faster than us? Will its social evolution follow two centuries a week? What online tools will it invent? It's impossible to conceive, I suspect. Perhaps tracking all of our personal information on a computer system is a really bad idea for reasons completely different.. I'm not sure I've even heard the argument before...
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Riona, I think they said part of the problem was that the soils these things are grown in are testing high levels, the other part was high levels in the water being used. I use a lotta concentrate, being a traipse from an actual store(our water is pretty good, and I always water it down alot for caloric reasons) so I'm hoping my risk is halved, but still, you start to wonder. I have always hada ton of health problems and I'm the only one in my family who really drinks juice, sooooo. I dunno. Truly everything can kill ya these days. Don't even read the article about China stockpiling weapons...
But I think we all figured that one...
EDIT: DT's little rant up there is fun though...I'm all for a little push back in time... You been hittin' the sauce??
No fair, that's my job
Oh, and I know the end date is NEXT x-mas, but what good is an end of the world if you can't whip people into a panicked frenzy NOW
