A great reason for a second pint, one for the Saint and the second to your continued health!
It's the genes! Trust them until they turn on you . . . Hopefully not until you are into the eighties.
I'll be 55 tomorrow........... Damn, where did the years go?
@warren You got to live for the moment. Every year I live I seem to acquire an additional pot of pills. With that cheerful thought I think I will go and smoke another bowl.
I got nearly 3/5 of my heart working. Haven't had warm feet in years. And yes, pills are keeping me above dirt and, a pacemaker is trying to keep the heart at it's feeble best. But still, I deprive my system of oxygenated blood. I do so at my peril. It's a choice we all make so bitching about my health is . . . well, simply feeling sorry for myself and dump choices I made back when I knew I was invincible. So, pay no attention. Been dead once and the next time will, most likely, be permanent as I probably won't be in a critical care ward. C'est la vie!
My insurance will only kick in after a six thousand dollar deductible. Convenient huh?
No kidding. I started working when I was thirteen, blinked and thirty-five years passed.
50 this coming September. Survived cancer at 29. Every day since was a win.
I'm 23 years old, I assume most people think I got lost on my way to tiktok or something. I love this forum and I'm curious to see if I'm the youngest. Probably not.
Your mother knows you stay up till midnight?
What a great photo/anecdote, but seriously, what the heck is the bamboo pole tucked behind your ear? Worlds longest tamper?I'm 77 years old and have been smoking for 75 years. Don't believe it? Here's me in June 1946.

She better not find out! Tattlers get tamped!
To all who responded to this post ; God Bless You and Continue to March ?
Sharp eye! I didn't notice it and have no idea. Kind of looks like a rope or line of some kind.... the mystery continues.
I'll be damned if I know. All of a sudden...poof...I'm my grandpa....WTF???
It ain't the age that kills you... It's the miles. Believe that Brother... ?
True! Been rode hard and put away wet. (That's horsey talk for the wackos on this forum who might interpret that otherwise...LOL)
Mortonbriar: Your question about the pic made me wonder.... Here is the same house today taken from Google Earth. My grandfather built it himself in1903. I don't think the pole is still there... We've kind of gotten off topic, let's get back to pipes.

That's a great looking house, 120 years and still standing now that is my kind of craftsmanship! Was he a pipe smoker too?
