Older People 55 and Up

[Semiretired]

Freak Out, no it brought back old memories for me and I am sure others.

When I was 19 I joined the Air Force - I knew about the haircut they gave you (Air Force brat my whole life - father died in Nam)..., so I got a haircut before I went for the physical to save the embarrassment.

When I went into the barbershop - "The Usual" -- "Naw, Cut Off The Curls" -- "Excuse Me" -- "Yep, Cut Off The Curls"... Within, two minutes the barbershop window (old country small town barber shop) had 20 or so onlookers watching... (LOL)...

At 50 I went to work on a fishing boat
At 60 I retired from fishing and became a Manny
At 71 I decided to let my hair (that I have left) grow and now have my first ponytail. lol My 8 year old grandaughter had fun showing me how to put the band in. I've had a full beard since 73 only shaving a few times since. So I'm looking the part of the old hippy! My grandkids have never seen me without a beard and my kids only a few times. lol

LOL_loved this !!!
at 50 felt mentally old-
At 60, got my first tattoo-felt 30,
at 70, still don't have another tattoo, have to fight the bones to keep going,
Amazing how the time just goes a whole lot faster now too.

Keep learning and the brain keeps working anyway.
So I have heard and intend to believe that.
(no matter what, LOL )

By the way, nice to meet people who don't freak out over the name I use here.

Well, that brain thingy does not work so good for me hi hi. Just kidding.
The only thing I do not like as I get older is the older I get the more I realize how little I know 8-o

Just stopped in to say Hi, and leave a book mark to pick up from next time. Hope everyone is doing well, too many pages to catch up with. Nice to see a few new faces and a pleasure to see the familiar ones.

Hit my one month smokeless anniversary today, would have never believed it possible 5 weeks ago. The more I visit around ECF the more I see that my 42 years of smoking was a case of just getting started, a lot of people with many more years than me. My hat's off to you girls and guys for turning things around no matter how long you smoked.

Take Care!

Tex, I had a pony tail for awhile after I retired from the military, but as I was working in the corporate world - they thought it did not portray their company image and me being an old soldier that always obeyed orders (suggestions) - cut it... When I fully retire - it will come back...

Isent it funny how we just could not wait to get 16,17... and now we made it to 55,56.....

Noooo! Ironic and historically true, yes... but not funny...

For those of you that use tank type systems. Do you have or are you seeing where the juice becomes thicker and darker as you vape. I am assuming it is from the heat that the juice is being subjected to, but just want to see if this is normal. I am refilling once and cleaning on the second go around. I usually get two fills to one charge - so this routine means it is drying while it is charging...

Now where the heck do you get those icon or gif thingys?????? You just make me laugh every time you post.

 

[tj99959]

Oh my!!! Stopped by electronicstix to pick up a bottle of juice. Walked out with a V1.5.
Now where was it that I hid the key for the back door so that I can sneak it into the house.

 

[old hippy]

Good for you !!! But, full beard ( and unbanded pony tail) could make you a santa claus also-LOL !! what is a "manny"? I had a few "proper" people ( male and female) think my having a large tattoo on my 60'ish birthday, was terrible. But so be it !! They told me to wear long jeans so no one could see it. UGH !!! It is a wood sprite and very pretty and I am proud of what it stands for and that I was brave enough to get it. Brave as in bucking the "old lady code". And no, I don't hide it either, lol !! But, don't wear a headband anymore, LOL !!

Yes, I did have a tank for a couple of weeks and yes, my juice did turn darker.
I no longer use a tank because of it also.
Use bottom feeders mostly now.
3 Hog mods, one of which is a vv. They work great no matter where one is,
and no one hassles about my using them anywhere.
Love natural wood and Mike makes the best ones, imo.

I gathered a few of my fav emoticons into my PhotoBucket account (hopefully da link works; it should be 'public'). Let me know if ya can't get dere. Ya'll feel free to use 'em if ya want.

Sometimes I need a one-time use emo and just do a Google search for '----- emoticon'. If I want to 'collect' that emo, I just save da image to my 'puter and then link that to my PB account.

... and yes, I consider emos another level in on-line communications. Many folk are adjective shy and it's all too easy to misconstrue what one may type (don't even get me started on there/their, then/than, etc.!)

If ya poke around too much in my '2ifbyC' & 'temp' folders, you'll find I'm weird, but eclectically weird!

Thanx for da feedback!

Uh, 'skuze me Old Hippy, but what is a "wood sprite"? Is it something you drink or something we don't discuss in polite company or what? I'm an old hippy & darn I never heard of a "wood sprite". Never smoked it either. At least not that I remember.

Those are great thingys and "eclectically weird!" gotta love that!
Great idea with the savings. I will steal one every now and then

 

[Semiretired]

Yes it gets darker but have not noticed thicker..What tank are you using?

It is a clearomizer from Volt. Vapes great, no leaks, etc. but the juice gets darker and thicker as it goes down. Like I said I assumed it was from the heat. These are only 1.6ml - I cannot imagine what the juice would be like in a 4.5ml system if this is common across the board...

 

[old hippy]

OMG !!! a wood sprite is a woodland fairy !!!!!
Very pretty blond girl holding flowers with a blue dress etc.
Not anything bad. about 4x6 and on my calf.
I am very much into nature, a "back to the land" type, and a wood sprite ( wood fairy) fits me.
I do not drink alcohol-only tons of coffee.
ok, now I am laughing, but was horrified when you thought it was a not nice tattoo, at first, LOL !!
