One of the Great things about being old!

[leftyladyfrommo]

You can get stoned and no one ever even guesses that's why you might be acting funny. They just think it's an old person acting dotty.

Sometimes I wonder just how many older people still get stoned? I think people might be amazed.

12. Me too, but I would be the one who got caught!

I would be the little old lady on TV caught with marijuana plants growing in her basement.

2. Sshhhh...

lol!
Don't be giving away the secrets!


People see a little snow on the roof, and assume the chimney ain't smokin'.

3. You may have to grow old. You don't have to grow up.

Acting funny, weed or no, is a big benefit.

[Doc Holliday]

4. There are more

of us....I mean "those older people"....than one might think.

Confuses the shit out of younger folks, too; they listen to some stoned jibber-jabber and think it's very Zen, or maybe just too deep for them.

8. Do you really do that to people?

How funny. That sounds really fun.

Kind of Cheech and Chongish. I love to watch them do the whole old stoner thing.

5. Wake 'n' Bake around here.

I'll be 60 this spring.

[lunatica]

6. 63 years old here

I'm totally cool with it.

7. And another great thing about being old!

I\'m not too sure when it happened but I have become invisible. True. I might as well not exist. People look through me or behind me.

What a gift! I can practically get away with murder and no one notices.

So funny.

[dimbear]

10. So true. And in fact you can get away with murder if you like. Who suspects

the innocent looking senior citizen?

Myself, I've sort of lost the urge. Too much trouble, really.

9. Another great thing about being old--you don't care as much what other people think, nor do

you put up with as much crap.

11. People mellow with age.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Yes and no.

Now that I'm old there are a lot of things that used to seem important but that I just don't give a shit about any more. On the other hand, there are some kinds of crap that I used to think I had to tolerate that I now realize I don't have to tolerate - and I don't. So I'm both more and less mellow than I used to be.

17. I was thinking of my mom who used to argue all the time. Now she never does. But I agree with

you that you don't put up with shit as you age. I used to be a doormat. Now the thought of being around the people who liked that about me makes me want to retch. You become more assertive as you age. You play to your strengths. In my case I found out I actually had strengths. That being said I do think evil people, testosterone filled evil people who messed with my worklife and friends, do mellow with age. I'm banking on it.

13. Well, *that* drew me in fast. But then, neh. n/t

[abq e streeter]

14. When we start filling up the old folks homes, will we be burning incense

and putting a towel under the door? (And cranking Iron Butterfly at 3 AM)

[HappyMe]

16. Yup.

Banging around in the kitchen looking for munchies at 4am.

18. How about King Crimson?

Oh, and I absolutely love Leon Russell.

19. One can only hope!

A bunch of rooms with Indian print bedspreads and lava lamps. And black lite posters on the wall.

I could dig it.
