My dear friend Deacon suggested I start this thread. So out of respect for him and with an interest in advising, informing, and helping anyone interested in asking something from someone who's been around for a while, I offer my knowledge, and experience to all. I hope to enlighten, educate, and add humor to any and all you blades out there that are looking for answers to life's way of getting in the way while we are making other plans. Please feel free to ask what ever you like and I will do my best to answer the best I can, or recommend another source where you might find what you are looking for. Update: since I started this thread just a few days ago I have received a lot of great questions and given a lot of answers. If you are just coming the this thread I would ask that you read it threw before asking anything as I am getting some questions I have already answered in another post. But of course if you still want to ask something please fell free to and I will try to answer in a different way so as to keep it new and improved. Update #2 It's only been a week now that I've had this thread up and I think people are running out of questions to ask about me personally. I would like people to ask about other stuff now like something going on in their life they might need advice with or something like that. Feel free. Moderator Edit Hey guys, this thread is getting sorta long, if you don't want to read the whole way through it, try using thread search function first
[quote name='"Shaaaft"']How's your sex life?[/quote] Wow, questions already. Love it. Sex is till good. But only if you keep your self fit. You can't be a big fat blob and have good sex. I have it when ever I need it, which is about once a week. [quote name='"HelpSotalytober"']is your wee-wee all shriveled up like a raisin?[/quote] Nope, still looks like it did 50 years ago. [quote name='"Mill"']Do you still smoke weed? Whats your mindset, are you happy being old?[/quote] I smoke and grow. I'm happy, very happy, but I don't like the thought that I'm getting older. But it's better than the alternative. It's all in you head. If you think young you are.
[quote name='"chronicTRE"']If there was one thing you would have done differently, what is it?[/quote] That's I good question. I think many people ask themselves at some point in there lives. There are many many things I would do diff if I could go back. Many lives I wish I could have lived. But the truth of the mater is,,,, if I were able to go back and do it differently, I would not be here doing what I'm doing right now. I always say,,,, if you're happy with your life right now, the way it is, all the things you did even if you regret them, got you to this place in this time. The answer is nothing.
Have you ever had a moment where the choice between chasing a dream and living "sensibly" were at odds with each other? If so, which did you choose and how do you look back on that choice many years later.
[quote name='"KillerKush"']What aspect of the past are you upset to see getting phased out?[/quote] The basic respect for older people. The younger people today, could learn a lot from the elderly if they would just give themselves a chance.
[quote name='"thegodson"']Have you ever had a moment where the choice between chasing a dream and living "sensibly" were at odds with each other? If so, which did you choose and how do you look back on that choice many years later.[/quote] Lot of great questions coming in. I live the dream. Live with abandon. Live life as if it were your last day. I spent 22 years in the Navy, where you would think I had to be sensible. I was to a degree, but I was always a rebel. Got in lot of trouble, but I did it my way and I've never been sorry for it. When you're on you're death bed, the only things you will regret are the things you didn't do.
What have you noticed to be a trend in life? What is it like living so long? Do you believe in god or spirituality?
The baby boomers are without a doubt known to be the most selfish and self absorbed generation that has come of age in america. What do you think led people your age to become so self absorbed, self entitled? Did the WW2 era parents simply raise their kids terribly? I don't understand how the great generation fathered the worst and most delusional generation, the baby boomers.
[quote name='"Feelin Irie"']What have you noticed to be a trend in life? What is it like living so long? Do you believe in god or spirituality?[/quote] The dumbing down of the American public. Also more people are out living their usefulness and becoming a burden on society. I don't fell like I've lives so long yet. But life is good. I can't say I do, or don't. But I see no evidence or need for his existence.
[quote name='"Runningw235"']What do you think about social security and the burden it places on the rest of society?[/quote] As I get it, I like it, but I don't like the fact that it will be more and more a burden on the younger people. That being said, it is a very small % of the budget. The thing that will swamp us in the future will be the cost of healthcare.
self absorbed and self entitled people are everywhere and of all ages. If you aren't seeing that you must not get out much
How does if feel to have lived though WWII, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam war, the first man on the moon, kennedys assassination, the cold war, survived the 80s and their horrible music and awkward style, the collapse of the soviet empire, new years eve 1999, ect?
I'm a conservative and don't really like our president, but please answer from looking at us as a society and how we've grown. Are you amazed at seeing us going from segregated schools, busses, water fountains, restraunts, ect and all kinds of racism to having a black president? What do you think changed Americas mindset?
