You're not getting old!

Thank you :-)
But on the whole, I think I prefer getting old to the alternative :-)

I'm not much of a fan of the cold, I need to move to warmer climate where I can sit out in the sun in a hammock oall day and relax.

I don't much like the cold, but I don't like it too hot either - anything much over 25 Centigrade (77F) and I start to feel uncomfortable. Just plain awkward, me :-) So I'm grateful to live in a place where there (usually) aren't huge extremes of temperature.

I'm assuming that you live in a country near Scotland then? Cool.

I'm in Derbyshire, which is pretty much in the middle of the UK - we're not far here from the point at which you're the furthest it's possible to be from the sea in these islands, which is only a bit over 70 miles. I have trouble still getting my head round the fact that some of my Transatlantic LJ friends would have to drive for days to reach the sea :-)

I suppose, by US standards of distance we're not far from Scotland at all, as we can drive there inside a day :-) It takes most of the day to get from here to Oban on the west coast where we get the ferry to the lovely Isle of Mull for our holidays though.

I never graduated from college, so my career choices are limited since my employers require a degree.

I suppose there's no way you could study for one now? I didn't go to university after school, but I have a degree now from the Open University (<"http://www.open.ac.uk/"). I had to pay for it all myself, but it saved me from feeling my brain was dying in a series of supermarket jobs. I don't really use it for anything these days, but I learned a lot and I feel it helped me be a more analytical thinker )not that that's saying much :-)).

Is there anything similar in the US?
