same brain? You mean much smarter don't you?

We are about the same age and I can only imagine if I had the brain I have to day when I was in my 20's.

Meant in terms of outlook towards life and having fun.

I have improved at becoming less impulsive which got me into some bad situations when I was younger. However, I also earned an M.S. when I was 27 so I wasn't a total fuck up either.

So you suggest that quitting smoking increases your risk of lung cancer ? That's a really far out theory. I smoked a pack a day for over 20 years, quit 1/1/11.

I doubt you can pull up something to document this claim. I used to live in Vista also, BTW ! on Woodrail Drive

Not so far fetched ...... Also I will Note that My Doctor told me you MUST take Vitamin A ?? ( I think ) if you stop Smoking. I forget why......

Jaguara if you keep worrying about it, then it will kill ya. Billions before you have at one time or another thought about getting old and dying. Michael Jackson said that the hardest thing he ever did was getting old.

Follow as many of these things and you should live a long happy life ..

• Laugh as much as possible
• eat spicy food
• experience new things (music, food, drink, places)
• look both ways before crossing the street
• walk a lot
• Be nice to Betallsports
• open an account at JustBet (yayaya shut up guys ... you know I am right)

5-7 aint bad....

Amen brother....Semper Fi on Memorial Day Weekend....

Just turned 61 and stress has never been a part of my life...

Gyno...you are so wrong unless you say alcohol abuse....

 

[gynecologist]

alcohol affects every organ in your body. Brain, Heart, Liver, Kidneys , pancreas etc.. Drunk Driving deaths. Nobody ever smoked a cig and then killed a family of 5 on the road.

Lung cancer stats are inaccurate, people die of lung cancer who never smoked a day in their lives. Alcohol has torn families apart and has turned once successful people into homeless people. Plus its socially acceptable..

Its not even close viejo.. Alcohol is way worse than cigs.

You know I've never believe people when they say, "I feel as good as I did in my 20s."

I really think aging is so gradual that people forget what being young feels like. Even the brain changes. There's no denying it.

how old are you kingofnicotine?

Alcohol abuse is not the same as having a couple of glasses of wine, which has been found to improve your health....

I'm in my mid 20's.

I'll be 46 this year and I certainly don't feel like I did in my 20's. The body takes longer to heal from injuries, and I certainly know my limitations. I will say with aging comes more knowledge though.

You know the old saying, "if I knew then what I know now" is definitely true.

The only thing I truly fear is Alzheimer's. I can think of nothing worse than forgetting your family and loved ones and all the great moments you've had in your life.

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

99% of us would turn back the clock if we could....like to think that the older you get, the wiser you become....

I'm just happy that after 61 years, everything still works....and after 61 years of life, I suscribe to the Readers Digest advice of "Laughter is the best medicine".....and I don't mind laughing at myself at times...

That, or even something like being confined to as bed or something. I'd love to live into my 90's as long as I can get around and I'm still relatively healthy.

 

[texansfan]

Stress I believe will kill you faster than anything.

That's gotta be one of the worse things ever. If that happened to me, I'd thank the doctor for telling me and then take my own life before it gets bad.
