When I get old I'm going to become a drug addict

You have just described my life.

And I'm only 32.

Go ahead.... laugh, you bastard.

Your day is coming.

Why wait 'till you get old...

That is f*cking hilarious.

It would be tough to keep a good job with all those habits right now. And I'd probably do some serious damage to my health. But once I'm on my way out . . . oh yeah, it's going to be party time then!

Does anyone think they have any better ideas?

What I usually do, when I'm feeling despondent, is run down the street, in the nude, carrying my bedpan and screaming at the top of my lungs,

THE BUGS ARE HERE! BEWARE THE BUGS!

I feel a lot better after that.

Try it, kickycan.

I think you'll be pleased with the results.

I hope I don't become decrepit in my old age...if I can still feel good, the way I do now, there will be no need for heavy duty drugs. If I find myself in one of those nursing homes...and if it is at all possible, I'll steal and horde all the pills I can get a hold of, for the final finale.

Let's do it together, colorbook.

One brilliant last act of defiance.

We'll go out with our guns blazin' and our pills poppin'!

Lets hope we can get the good stuff, Gus.

I can't wait till I get old. I'm gonna become mean. I'll sit out on the front porch yelling at anybody who dares touch my grass. Scare the neighbour kids and small dogs. Yell in full voice at anyone who pisses me off, in stores - like customers who yell at the teller, only I plan to yell at bitchy customers. I plan on attending city council meetings and yelling when they pass bills, to have studies which are just plain stupid, useless and cost too much money. I plan on being loud and yelling a lot.
You're all welcome to stop by, you won't need directions, just stop when you hear me. I'll be yelling things like "ooooh I oughta...." or "back in the day........," or "it's that damn devil music........."

Anyway thanks for asking gus.

When I get old I may stop doing that stuff. Hopefully make a mense with god and think about all the ways I screwed up and didn't prepare.

I'll probably move up to a double-wide trailer by then, hopefully I'll even own it.

I'll be on a fixed income so no living high on the hog with fancy TV dinners.

I won't own a radio because I'm sure by then the Rap Music would give me a heart attach, but I'll still be surfing the web for nude photos of Kate Winslet. No matter how old she gets.

Oh my! Thing is - most older people are relatively healthy and able until the last two years before we die. This is likely to be more so in the west as time goes on.

I don't think I would bother smoking - because it can stuff up your system very fast, if your homeostasis is fragile.

Happy pills and recreational drugs? Hmmm - worth a try - if I have not achieved a nirvana of serenity and enlightenment by then!

Yelling a lot and being mean? No way! I wanna be a beacon of comapssion and such.......

The sex sounds damn fine, though.

I will hurt anyone who tries to put me in a nursing home. I can see myself being mellow, sitting in my lazygirl chair knitting something. Happy pills don't sound like a bad idea either.

Oh puhleez! If you came to my retirement town, you would see people playing golf, swimming, going to dances, doing aerobics, filling up the large fitness center, and volunteering for all sorts of things.

The days of sitting around and waiting to die are OVER.

hmmmmm, swimming, dancing, aerobics, fitness, volunteering - that sounds suspiciously like code for work, Phoenix. i had something mellower in mind. like maybe floating in a pool.

since I had my stroke I now have to see the doc at least once a week, last week he told me that I need (at my age and condition) to take better care of meself so on the way home I stopped and picked up a carton of cigs and a fifth of good whisky, I ain't gonna quit living just to keep from dying.

ehBeth- Oh, you can do that too. Problem is, if you float around in a pool for too long, your skin becomes very prune like. And that is what you DON'T want!
