The Old Farts thread

About 10 yrs ago (I was 56 then) was 3rd in the check out line at grocery store. A young guy was in front dealing with checker, then a late 30 sumthin woman ahead of me. The guy is flirting with the checker, a very cute 20 something, and he is doing a miserable job; crude, no class and he is pissing her off big time. The gal was royally pissed. Dude leaves and the checker and woman in front of me commiserate in a rant about men, what pigs we are etc. These 2 gals are really angry. I'm thinking, fuck, I'm gonna catch it and I have a full cart. My turn, the girl is sweet as pie, " Hello Sir, how are you Sir, having a nice day, Sir?" I'm a bit befuddled til I realize, it's happened SM, you are no longer a sexual object in the eyes of young women, you've gotten old.

Morning haight. Yup, not many o'l farts here. Threads like this have done well on other sites...thought it would take off here but....NO. I will keep trying though. Have learned quickly though you better have thick skin to survive here......love it!
There used to be a similar thread here. I recall that it did well too. Most of the folk here now never heard of Country Joe and the Fish, The Fugs or Steppenwolf. Shame, when we go over to the other side all the memories, knowledge, experiences we've gained, ..., pffff gone forever. I think I'll go out and eat worms.

Depends on the 56 year old. SM i doubt you have any problems mr. Spitfire (Sir) LOL. Mr. Hooka is in his 50's and sometimes even young women fall all over him. Doesn't hurt that he's very good looking but I think it's b/c he's aloof. Some women can't stand that so they try harder to get attention. Worked for me anyway. :-)

Morning O'l Farts. What have you got going today. Partly cloudy over the foothills above the Mile High City this morning.....keeping things cool so far today. I spent the day trimming yesterday and will be doing a final flush on the next round. I have a perpetual grow going and have things timed so I harvest every two weeks or so depending on the strain. I am flushing 3 plants today on a 63 day run. Crazy Daze, Gorilla Glue X Chem and another White Fire #3. I run the WF 60 days but timed it so they would all finish the same.

Fall is in the air for sure at 6,000 ft. Am starting to clean things up on the veggie garden outside. Pulled my broccoli a couple of days ago as it had gone to flower and stopped producing. Beans are next. Won't be long until I will be tilling the soil and putting it to bed for the winter. Hate the thought of winter and darkness coming but it's a fact of life.

Ok, time to go back to the flushing process. Will be lurking ......later.

From 65-85 was great for free love what with the pill, coke, and 'ludes. Then in 85 we heard about a new std: Aids. So much for one nite stands
