    I think marijuana is perfect for old people (for the same reason is the worst drug for young people)…A second lease on life.

    Yeah, they can't improve (or be original) so why not steal !

    By the way , I intend to indulge and reminisce once I get back home. Sitting' on the back deck watching the Sun go down, at 5pm no less, and dreaming of days gone by.

    Please don't smoke it, your lungs have enough to do as it is. And the edible high is mellower.

    I used to drink like a sailor. Then one day I stopped, this after it took seven SPs to get me into the paddy wagon. Didn't drink again for ~30 years.

    Okay it's time to fess-up, I'm Not going to indulge with Mary Jane. I realize I'm not 18 (although I still feel I am). Time has a way of slapping sense into you even if it's after the fact. The trick is to be cognizant of that before any stupid decisions. I ain't made it this far being dumb. All that said, I still manage to get my ass in trouble!

    My appetite is find depending on what's on the plate. Although I have noticed I'm becoming more susceptible to certain things.
    My main philosophy of good health is never go to the doctor or dentist unless absolutely necessary. Went to a new tooth doctor after moving and he couldn't believe I wasn't on any prescriptions. Told him everyone I knew who did those yearly checkups were on multiple pills and restricted diets. I also had more dentistry done the four years I went to that asshat than the previous 25 years.
    At my mid 50's I followed my 94 year old uncles Regiment and smoke, (he cigars) drink and play golf. Get my exercise by outdoor activities and trying to keep up with my wife's recommended things 'we' need to get done.
    It'll probably catch up with me but until it does I'm running full speed ahead and Damn the torpedoes !

    When I was doing MJ I looked for something that would go down with minimal fight. Gummies with THC and melatonin helped me sleep with the steroids were fighting the ZZZs.

    Well never went down the MJ route, being a LEO for thirty years. Don't drink either. Still strong, no joint pain, good mobility and eye sight. Sleep and eat well. Had a few problems earlier in the year, which all boiled down to hydration. Now I am not without a water bottle close at hand. Never knew it was that important. So at 71 hoping for a few more good years.

    I have made it this far despite making dumb and ill advised decisions. It's a feakin' miracle. Of course Darwin could catch up with me at any moment.

    I was discounting my high school years. Otherwise I'd be long gone and just a memory. The stupid/dumb things I got away with are amazing. Riding a 80cc Suzuki at 3am after way too many Pabst's and Jack comes to mind.
    NOW that I think about it, all my best friends are no longer here. Bummer and miss those guys.
    Over the years I've learned to: Not argue, Take a breath, and if pressed for a comment answer " I'm not sure or don't know".
    Keeps me out of trouble and avoids any arguments

    The y-donor* tried to kill me three times when I was 7 years or younger. He stopped when he found a butcher knife embedded in his pillow. He was a fifth-grade dropout who had been abandoned by his mother** and life had to be hard for a young boy with no protectors. (This was during the Great Depression.) All that wasn't my fault. My bad luck was that his first born son had red hair like him and I didn't. Clearly grounds for murder, no?

    *That was the extent of his involvement with me to the day he died.
    **His father died of lead poisoning, too many aces in a poker game.

    My problem is that during my high school days most of my bad decisions were based upon lack of life experience and teen stupidity. In college drugs, alcohol and a reputation for pushing the envelope became the source of questionable decisions. Then in the military, alcohol, excess testosterone, boredom, a sense of invulnerability and enthusiastic support from comrades turned bad ideas into moronic master plans, but they were epic. The source of laughter and sea stories.
    My wife of 40 years this year, who knows me better than anyone, often tells me after one of my poor choices, in amazement that I would even contemplate such a thing; "How can someone so smart come up with and do such stupid things", I hear it regularly. She also tells me often that my stupid actions must be the source of what she calls my "tard strength".

    The Wiktionary definition: Retard Strength; The extreme physical power often displayed by those with cognitive disabilities as a result of decreased inhibition against using their full strength.

    Recently, the lady next door was trying to get some root balls out of the ground, my wife volunteered me to help. She had cut around them with a mattock and shovel. She had a 6' long steel pry bar lever and asked me to pry up on the root balls as she tried to undercut them. I'd put the grunt to them, and you'd hear snapping breaking and they'd pop out of the ground. Particularly stubborn ones just required me to be more stubborn. One particularly stubborn one was resisting my best efforts. I pulled and pried up, used my weight and muscle to pry down. Finally, got an eight-inch diameter log and used it as a fulcrum and went to prying, finally got the root ball to break free but I bent the solid steel bar in the process. The wife rolled her eyes and said, "Sorry Carrie, it's his damned tard strength." Son can't get a lug bolt free on the wheel of his truck. Get your dad to try. Breaker bar, put legs and back and arms into it, grunting, growling, you hear the steel start creaking, then BAM, wrench goes one way, bolt flies off in another. Didn't break the bolt free but sheared off the stud. She shakes her head, "Tard strength". (I did have the tools and expertise to drill out and replace the stud so it did have a happy ending)

    Just the other day we were at the son's house eating, drinking and watching a football game. During the half-time we had the kids outside watching them playing in this tree fort/play set thing in their backyard. The three-year-old managed to drag a tricycle up into the fort and was positioning it on one of the slides in preparation to try and ride it down. His mom yelled at him to stop. She ran up and said, "Judah what were you thinking?" He said, "Grandpa Idea" the son started laughing. Turns out his kids use the term a "Grandpa idea" when they do something reckless and dangerous that usually results in a crash, pain and injury.

    I may have worked in the wrong profession for over thirty some odd years. To think I could have watched paint dry and get paid ! Wow.

    Researchers have found that the pattern of dried paint is influenced by the pigment concentration and the temperature at which it dries. A study in ACS’ Langmuir revealed that drops with lesser pigment or placed on cooler surfaces resembled “fried eggs” when dried, while those with more pigment or dried at higher temperatures appeared more uniform. The findings suggest that by adjusting pigment concentration and drying temperature, one can control the final appearance of dried paint.

    Six months after high school I met a girl that made me realize I really needed to be a grownup. To a certain extent anyway. Had a (at the time) , decent job where one wage earner could make a good living. Traded the Camaro for a Nova a year and a half later.
    Funny how a hot, blonde, sexy girl can change a naive innocent young boy into a ravenous demon. Two months from this Tuesday marks 50 years together and 2 months three weeks will be 49 years of bliss (?) !
    Wouldn't have missed the ride for a billion dollars.
