Then, I will start smoking. And drinking hard liquor. At this point, nothing to lose. We are so fucked.

(42,375 posts)I like your style! But don't smoke - it's bad for you. Except for my Uncle Howard, who smoked no filters till he died at 86. (I know, I know, genetics plays a huge part - just supporting Demo Tex's birthday wish here )

The world is much easier to take with the liberal application of liquid analgesics. I recommend cigars and single malt scotch.

(46,166 posts)I'll have to think about this. All I did to walk on the wild side today was to order some brown paper muffin cups on ebay. But they're jumbo sized! Oh well, I guess that kind of thing happens when you're 71.

(95 posts)I'm with you,Tex. I turn 70 on Saturday and am this close to giving up. My grown son asked how did we get to this and I couldn't form an articulate response. So, yeah. Been chipping on American Spirits and vodka all along from time to time. Now's the time to enjoy the moment.

(998 posts)I turned 70 earlier this month. Increased the weights on my bar in BodyPump class to celebrate.
If one is lucky enough to be mostly healthy, 70 isn't bad. Certainly beats the dirt nap. Celebrate with joy and a grateful heart.

(37,573 posts)or today?
I am not sure what today is, but next week is Mc Hammer's birthday. He will be 56.
According to my 80 year ikd friend, the ten years from 70-80 were the best years of his life. I think mostly because he didn't have to farm any more.

I worry for my 31yo son (only kid) and what his generation will be facing.
