The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI've made a huge, life changing decision today.
I'm almost 62, with several health problems. In an effort to try to take better care of myself, I quit drinking and smoking cigarettes almost 8 years ago. I have tried to eat better. I don't get enough regular formal exercise, but I do work very hard, and I keep very active. I am able to walk 5-6 miles at a decent pace without too many problems. I do smoke weed once in awhile, but that's about it.
I have been recently telling myself that if I have the good fortune to make it to age 80, I will start smoking again (non-filtered Lucky Strikes), start drinking whiskey everyday, walk around naked in public because I won't give a shit anymore, and try to pick up those Cougar women (age 90-104) by using cheesy pick-up lines. Oh, also, I will try to start fistfights with people who are younger than me, and in much better shape.
Considering what is happening with COVID-19, I have readjusted my "80 years old" goals.
I will start doing the above things today, immediately.
Thank you.

(72,300 posts)Personally, leave off the Lucky Strikes. Most Cougars don't care for the smell.

(37,329 posts)I'd like to see some long term data. Like what results in more personal satisfaction, the Lucky Strikes or the beatings, for example.

Very intimidating.
LuckyCharms
(17,426 posts)Because I'll also be naked, and I don't look very intimidating when naked.

I knew we'd get there eventually.
LuckyCharms
(17,426 posts)my penis is so small that the extension kept falling off.

Got scolded by the ER staff.

(13,360 posts)I haven't quit anything ...I just hit 50 and I still have a smoke after dinner and like my beer...
But I always though as an old lady I'd have fun by pinching young men's buts in the store and giggling as I hobble away. Social distancing makes that goal impossible right now....
But I also like the idea of starting fights with a lucky strike hanging from one's lips!

*that* would be life changing.

Me, I quit 39 years ago. Not going back ... I'm 62 and in good shape. I regularly bike 10-20 miles 3 times a week and more on weekends. I am however concerned about this damn virus and will try like hell not to be exposed to it.
Hoping for a vaccine next year.
