merciful-evans Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I was never a thrill seeker. Stuff I cant do anymore? Motorcycles. I was never much good with them anyway. Probably wont even ride a push bike either. Climb fences Jump fences Any kata where you drop to the ground (cant get back up again!) eat hot chillies without respect (dont want to disturb that ulcer) Take a p1ss in less than 20 seconds lie cheat tread on peoples feet cuss fuss dance the hoochie-coo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to say that. But if you're meaning recreational drugs, well, that's different. It's about the same amount of time for me too. Right now all those fun drugs have been replaced by Beta Blockers, diuretics and blood thinners. I take FAR more pills now than I ever did when dopin'. But the title of this thread; "We all get older, right?" Well there's one answer to that query..... Hopefully. Whitefang 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words are hard that’s why during the riots recently they threw bricks and thought that would solve anything, except pissing the cops off more. I think cops have more weapons at their disposal than the rioters. Any of those idiots that got their head bounced off the top of the squad car before being put in the back seat after being arrested deserved it. Edited June 27, 2023 by Sgt.

God bless you, my friend! i don’t take chances anymore. I stop and think about what I’m doing before I do it. I don’t play senior softball anymore. My doctor said I could, but I can’t throw the ball because of a torn rotator cup. It hurts like hell to throw a ball and I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold a guitar in the position I always have. I don’t drive fast cars now. Life is more precious and more precarious. I can still do most things I want to do, but now they’re not so necessary. I just want to do what I can for as long as I can. So far, so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiots drive golf carts on major roads and divided hiway's when its posted everywhere its illegal. The cops do nothing. I saw a guy on a divided hiway the other day in a Daihatsu if you know what they are. We had one in Hawaii for our Electrical Shop vehicle. Totally not road legal.
