Right, that's the wrinkle I hadn't counted on -- the older you get, the faster it goes.

Sometimes I think that it's got to get better, somehow. But other times I think that this must be Hell, I'm already in Hell, that's the only way it makes sense.

Unless it's a population thing, and that when we've filled up the planet to maybe 10 or even 15 billion people who have eaten everything there is to eat here, at which point we will be HARVESTED, loaded onto giant space freighters and take somewhere, to a Master Race somewhere, to feed their kids or pets, who knows.....

I did that too back in the early 80's. Even built a recovery system that resembles a still so I could reuse the alcohol because I was broke and couldn't afford to keep buying the alcohol LOL made a lot of oil out of my trim and fan leaves from my grows back then just trying to stretch every dollar. The Regan years were pretty lean the trickle down economics never seemed to make it down to my level . And the little that did seemed to have a yellow tint to it LOL.

Hey, thanks for the laugh, I remember 'trickle down' Reagan, but it was really a 'trickle up' as the senators and the congress men and women got rich from the 'trickle up' effect. Those "civil servants" used to earn less that a working man, but these days they make more, and I notice they've now got millions. Like Diane Feinstein, I remember her from way back, the 'Belle' of San Francisco...... Ha! 'Let them eat Cake'

I´m now going on 56 and it sucks -aches and pains and kids who won´t grow up. I tried out having a an affair with a younger woman and I can say it wasn´t worth the trouble.

My mind yells "you´re still young! go for it" while my body tells me to start looking for a coffin.

'Civil servant' now means overlord of uselessness. The average wage earner is the real civil servant, paying taxes to employ government leeches to fuck us over. The pension I pay for them to enjoy is the icing on the cake. None for me of course.

Trickle down economics is a myth, the repubs never had such a term. I did not like reagan though. Big defense budget (nukes), drug war, 3 million illegal immigrants or invaders. The Russians were reducing their military budget before he got into office, he did not win the cold war.

Yep, kinda frightening. Feels too old. As the saying goes though, getting old still beats the alternative

Hey, this is off topic I think, but you ol'timers might have to answer to my question:

What are some of the best autoflowers to grow now, both in and out? Using my own seed for a while, originally from the Joint Doctor I think, but I find it hard to grow now, they often flash yellow. Medical problems include Restless Leg Syndrome together with a peripheral neuropathy and lower back problems, and more I hate to say. Getting old sure is a thrill a minute......

Hey man, welcome to being "legal". It probably doesn't feel much different that it did a month ago, but it is different. Now the world expects things.

Yes I seem to be at the crossroads of my life. The weirdest thing was on my birthday turning 21 I guess I was supposed to get shitfaced drunk? But being that I don't drink I got a lot of weird looks that day like you wouldn't believe. Crazy how its somewhat the norm to get wasted like that but to each their own.
