about cars, sports and girls - 18 is a difficult age for LEGO).

Most of the people I know who know about my LEGO obsession don't make a
big deal about it, but then again, they already think I'm strange (I'm
not a US citizen, and I don't have a TV.  Actually, most people find it
stranger that I don't have a TV than that I build with LEGO...).  I think
showing people some of your stuff usually helps to eliminate any negative
comments.

I hope I didn't offend any 18 year olds with this, it was just a
generalization.  When I was 18 LEGO wasn't even on my mind.  I didn't start
into it again until my 20's.   I'm 46 now, and I still don't know what I want
to be when I grow up!

(...) No offense taken. What you said is (at least partially) true, but 18 year olds can still enjoy LEGO :) (I don't find inspiration or time to build as much as I'd like to, though...) --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com (...)
