Practical... hum... well, basically it means not acting elaborately (with extravagance). For example, instead of buying a cute and fast red sports car, it's probably best to buy something with better fuel efficiency. That's practical to me... ;-) I was making the observation that when we age, we're 'supposed' to become more practical in our decision making. Notice I said "supposed" to. LOL. xoxo. Unless I'm using the word incorrecly... ? I was a math major! ;-)
