WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?


Ya know, come to think about it... My health is failing now and I been doing everything I can to be "healthy". I have two hernias killing me, I can hardly walk some days (and other days it's fine), chronic pain all over my body. I'm a mess - so yeah... If I could afford it, I would be very tempted to just enjoy the shit out of life and drop dead in a room full of empty bottles and pizza boxes. Not to mention firing down a THC cookie before bed every night.

I've come to the conclusion that prolonging my life is prolonging the pain and nothing more. I know my friends love me and want me around and so on - but if it came to it and I had the ability - I think I would just go for the enjoyment of it all.

That being said, I would not be like my brother was and fire down a 40 every day while popping industrial pain meds. I'd keep it to 1/2 a 26 a day at most. But... there would be no end to the crap food I'd be eating. With millions in the bank I'd never cook again, I'd order in every day - 3 times a day.

I'm sure the over doing it would only last a week as well. I tire of the feeling of being over the limit after all. So most days it would be a moderate amount of whiskey - but it would be nice whiskey.

The food however would be not healthy at all, but instead things I really enjoy - like pizza and pasta. There would be a burger now and then as well (not fast food, a real burger) - even though it would give me a headache.

I don't really know why I would want to be 85 years old in a care home, suffering every moment of my life just to say I fought the good fight. What the actual hell is the point? Sure if I was 20 and had a long way to go - I'd try to keep healthy for some time. But the longer I live the worse it all gets. I'm literally falling apart.

So yeah, not a binge of booze and pizza till I die in 3 years, but I'd enjoy the hell out of the time I had left even though it would shorten my life a little.

So I'll be getting my monthly lotto tickets still and now and then when the prize is very big - getting a ticket in the middle of the month. I honestly do not expect to ever win - but I'll keep playing just in case.

    The world is not for old people, look at them with all their savings only to catch something horrible and have doctor's and caregivers clean them out. I don't get it like you said what is it all for.

      Exactly, I watched Mom die in a care home - it took a couple years. She faded away to nothing in the end. I rather just drop dead one day from a heart attack.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
