You know you’re old when you go out to the mailbox as soon as the mailman comes. Like they’re just looking out the window waiting on him. I don’t do that yet, sometimes I don’t check it for days, but that’s what my elderly neighbors do. I don’t know what the hell kind of mail they get that’s so great, but it’s probably not a check for a million dollars.

You have purpose in your life, things to do & places to go. I think many seniors don't have that and checking their mail might be the only time they have reason to go outdoors or even get up out of their chair.

For 20 years my uncle Bill only got up out of his chair for three things, to go to the bathroom, get another Budweiser, and to go to the store to get the Budweiser because my aunt Barb was a bitch and wouldn’t get it for him. He only got up out of his chair for one other thing when he was in his 90s and that was to go to the crematory.

Budweiser & Florida makes me remember getting shitfaced in the middle of the day at Busch Gardens.

Budweiser makes me remember I used to drink shitty beer before my brother Ed introduced me to craft beer.

I can’t take craft beer, it sits in my stomach like a rock. I drink Michelob Ultra. I found a really good wood fired pizza and craft beer brewery, but my stomach can only handle one beer and a half of slice of pizza. I guess I’m a pussy.

I earned a badge in my Albany Social Klatch social group on Facebook and now my title is Vagittarius. I guess I'm a pussy too.

I've never had a craft beer and it's been eons since I've had any kind of beer at all.
Have any of you ever drank & drove?
That sentence feels like poor grammar.

That sentence feels like poor grammar. Yes, I drank and drove. Almost ended up in a ditch because of it. All because my selfish friend wouldn't share his fans with the rest of us and it was too hot to sleep.

I don't drink much of anything, but I will have an angry orchard hard cider on a hot day if my gf is having a beer. She prefers the hazy IPA'S I'm not a fan. Recently somebody showed us cannabis infused seltzer called High 5 or some shit like that. Might try one of those one of these days.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

Not sure if it is High 5, but I got 2 free cans of cannabis infused grapefruit seltzer at The Cannabis Festival I went to in May. I was advised to only drink half the can at one time.
I don't much these days either. Usually just a beer or two once in awhile or a Bloody Mary.

We went to a coffee shop that had both cannabis infused coffee and beer. My husband got some kind of beer, I don’t know what it was called, but he said it made him really tired. He has a high tolerance to pot so it didn’t get him buzzed, it just made him feel like he needed a nap.

No, the bottles. I hate canned beer. I was actually thinking about switching to Virginia Slims, I knew an old lady who smoked them until she was 100 and the way she died was from getting drunk, falling and smacking her head on the tub, not from any health problems.

And it was recorded as another Covid death . . . or one by gravity!
