LookieNoNookie -> WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/6/2012 4:42:12 PM)

When I was 19 or so, I could mix any pill with any other....uppers then downers or any combination for any desired result (granted, we didn't have the multiple dissected options there are today).

Today I have about 4 or so pills I HAVE to take, but honest to gawd....if I take a vitamin with them, I have to go to the internet and make sure there isn't an issue with same.

Pomegranate juice can affect some drugs we take. So can pineapple juice. Tomato juice can cause interactions.

I can't even take a damned aspirin without worrying I'm gonna go tripping!

I wanna go back to the 70's where I could take anything and just have a damned good time.

what happened over the last 35 years is that you got old, live with it

Yeah....that does seem to be the most obvious math.

It wasn't that we didn't have any reactions or interactions back in our younger days (not 35 years ago for me...). It was that we didn't actually care if there were any. I'm sure there are juices and foods that would have made our drug of choice back then less efficient, but did you really go looking into it? And how could you, if the drugs were illegal and didn't exactly come with an ingredients list to look up? And to think, I'm from the ecstacy era. It's a wonder so many of us survived it!

Here's the real difference:

Then: We did drugs despite what they did to our bodies

Now: We take drugs because of what they can do for our bodies

It's all about perceptions.

(btw, happily clean for over 8 years. Yay me!!!)

I haven't had grapefruit or grapefruit juice in over ten years. I used to drink it with vodka. I probably haven't had anything more than a half glass of wine in over ten years either. Getting old is no fun.

Getting old sucks but it sure beats hell out of the alternative.

Then you got to make sure that one pill is taken in the morning before breakfast and take your calcium and vitamins at night...

Damn thyroid meds....

My perspective is that it's less to do with age and more to do with your body not willing to put up with the abuse any longer. Treat your body right and it will not take revenge. ;)

That's my opinion and when I see someone like this guy...

...I'm convinced it has a lot to do with it.

(Without doing an image search, guess how old this guy is.)

Me too - I was busy watching Sesame Street and making mud pies in the back yard. I also would climb the back fence to go see the German neighbor lady who would always have cookies and candy. My mom was one of those 70's health nut granola heads. She always wondered why I was so hyper after playing outside.

Just tell me!




yourdarkdesire -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 12:57:08 AM)

It would be easier to tell if he would shut his mouth and quit stretching out his face. In his 40s?




absolutchocolat -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 1:01:12 AM)

in his mid-50s.

You're saying that because to you he looks like he's in his mid 50's?

It does?

That would depend on the old-getting, no?

IWYW,

absolutchocolat -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 1:19:27 AM)

i'm saying that because of the way his skin looks, at least to me. build has little to do with how the skin fares over time.




DeviantlyD -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 1:24:41 AM)

So that would be a yes.

Personally I don't see what you see in the skin. There aren't exactly major wrinkles there.

As for "build", if you had read my post you would know that I wasn't referring to build at all. I am talking about treating the body right.




absolutchocolat -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 1:27:37 AM)

the last time i checked, i can read. you also asked people to guess how old the guy was. i must have guessed correctly, i'll look it up.




Ninebelowzero -> RE: WTF happened over the last 35 years or so????? (11/7/2012 1:27:58 AM)

It now takes all night to do what we did all night, or something like that.
