YEp that's for sure, we just pay more for it later, even if
it didn't involve mind altering substances.  Even doing good "wholesome" fun
means I recuperate for two days afterword
<grin>.

<snippety doo dah>

YEp, can picture that.  Try standing at the front of house
mix position in the middle of such an environment.  NO need
to partake when one of the numerous left handed smokes was
handed your way, just pass it on.  YOu were getting off on
the fumes <g>.

YEp can believe that too.  ONe I never experienced, but I
used to say it was good stuff if I went to walk two or three miles and couldn't
even feel my feet slapping the pavement
<grin>.

YEp, we get older, and hopefully smarter.

YEp, but in old blind man's case we were going her place, my place or the
nearest motel room, or wherever we could get
some privacy.  That was the one complaint I had the most as
a young man about being a nondriver, no ready made place for such activities
<grin>.
