@BugoutBob 'as far as evidence of when we were younger, Polaroid camera's came out in the 60s!

But we were too poor for such luxuries.

I have selective memory, I also have lost memories due to traumatic brain injuries and I have misplaced memories due to substance abuse in my younger years. My memory is best when it comes to useless obscure trivia, I used to do extremely well when Trivial Pursuit was a thing except in the area of entertainment and sports, them I am hopeless

 

[gumpy]

That was the same party I went to in the 80'S. Or at least it looks the same. LOL

They do tend to run together after a while!

I never was one much for drinking.

I drank like a fish. Being as big as I am I would just buy a pitcher of beer and drink from it. Who needs a tiny little glass, right?

But I stopped drinking around the 2000's and aside from one or two motorcycle camping trips where we were all telling tall tales I've not been drunk since then.

I was probably in mylate twenties before I understood that most people did not consume Mickey of hard liquor or a dozen beer every night and then party hard on weekends. It was what I had grown up seeing. Other magical delights came as a supplement in my teens. I no longer drink nor smoke nor use other recreational pharmaceuticals. I cannot afford to lose more brain cells

The substance abuse was my downfall. I didn't think it was abuse though then!

I am not either

All the foregoing is spoken in a strictly hypothetical manner and not to be construed as evidence admitted or otherwise

But, plop down a bag of weed and some acid and I was good to go! Ha

Glad I never got into drugs. Alcohol and smoking was enough of an issue for me. Can't imagine what I'd be like as a meth head or something.

I just stick to alcohol.

I have a Sergeant Shultz mentality at times!

Yeah, Fort can outdrink me now. LOL

exactly

 

[Fort]

Yeah, Fort can outdrink me now. LOL

Haha yep we can compete for who can finish our first drink and start their second drink.

 

[buildit]

Fort almost got me hooked on hard lemonade but I've resisted getting another six pack since finishing the one I bought in August on New Years Eve. LOL

 

[gumpy]

I quit all of it in the90s. I swore off of cigarettes, drinking, drugs, and women!(this was after I divorced my first wife the second time) The women part didn't last long but I kicked the rest of it.

Okay, speaking of living the healthy life. I'm off to bed so I can go work out tomorrow and maybe buy a Remington 700 in .308 and a predator call.

Double R made me do it!

 

[buildit]

Night All. :thumbs up:

[gumpy]

I'm bout ready for sleep myself. Had to wake up and take a pain pill! I overdid it today, again!

That will keep ya moving though. If you do less you will fall apart. Watched it happen too many times. Keep pushing yourself.

My mind is to young to slow down! I'm afraid to!

 

[The Innkeeper]

Sleep well all

You to Mon! Catch ya later!

 

[Double R]

Sleep well all

Sweet dreams! Glad you came to visit!

 

[gumpy]

We'll, then there were three!

My whirlwind trip to the big smoke went really well all things considering.

My senior knee surgeon retired so I have another taking over my knee management. I have yet to meet him but I'm informed he's exceptional.

My senior shoulder surgeon has called in a second surgeon and I met him for the first time today.
He has a nice manner and actually listens which is awesome.
He's never dealt with an EDS sufferer before so it's a good opportunity to educate another "expert".
The senior surgeon is a bit alarmed that he'll be seeing me again after he fuses both shoulders to deal with both hips..hahahah the fun just never stops.
The trip went without a hitch and I had the audio bible playing as I drove.

The GP is sending a referal to my cardiologist to get me fitted with a Holter monitor.
*sigh*
I have.....issues.

@Fort’s trying to figure out why the puzzle piece doesn’t fit
