I met an 89 year old guy on the chairlift this morning. 89, wiry little guy, skiing like someone in his 30’s. He looked like he could easily go another 20 years. Easily. Said his mom lived to 103. If I ever see him again, I’m going to ask him what he eats and drinks, etc.

Collapse is coming but I enjoy every minute I have now while things are relatively normal and try to be thankful for the good life I had. Happy New Year to everyone and may God bless you and yours.
Saw Loni and her hubby at the Hollywood Bowl w/Sergio Mendes. Excellent. Weirdest thing at the ‘Bowl is the “stacked parking” which is a free for all. Not recomended.
I called it CC, I said the Democrats let the air out of the market in 2000 and I expect they will do it again. The fat cats cash in, the little guy takes it in the shorts, rinse repeat.

One year of complete sobriety in April. I just gotta do it because I feel better.
Life is good:
Less filling. More taste.
Less anger. More patience.
Less melancholia. More gratitude.
As for me – “cheers” to a lean, mean, clean…..and… personally serene… 2017 (with a healthy spleen)
As for you – Bottoms up! And here’s to 2017: spending some green, fine cuisine, dramamine, caffeine and things yet unforeseen.
Unpickled, the anger issues are real, I went through that shit. I could relate to Groening’s cartoon in Life in Hell where he describes alcoholic dad who is beating the kid – you made me lose count, now I will have to start over.
My anger was (is) primarily directed toward the state of affairs in the world as well as those whom I have judged as guilty. I also was despondent for a while over the future (or lack of one) for my kids and frustrated that so few around me saw what was (is) happening. As I have stated before, I felt like Sarah Conner with visions of mushroom clouds in me noggin. Thankfully, this place was a process for me. It helped me worked some things out and not feel so isolated at the same time.
You mentioned something earlier in the year about how people who are addicts sometimes don’t see straight until month’s after they quit (or something that effect). It kind of stuck with me like that girl with the “little sideways smile”, A Face in the Crowd, Father Mapple and Tony Montana.
You should have been a priest, El Consigliere. You missed your calling in life. But it’s OK. Had you went that way, you might have missed out on me and the sexy mulatta. That would have been a sad and solitary existence indeed. Your welcome.
I could have stayed at that church but sometimes you don’t even know your calling until you are smack dab in the middle of it. What did I get from this site? LLPOH’s teaching that integrity is the highest calling. From Stucky I learned to be transparent no matter how embarrassing. I learned from Bea that skepticism and paranoia aren’t so bad. From SSS, I learned to watch out for the mindfuck.
Here’s what I learned from Admin, you have to hold people accountable, otherwise, they will keep trying to game you and get over you by playing the entitled/victim card.
So, I try to give of anything, whatever I have to give – friendship, bullshit, pushback, memories, a different point of view, somebody said that a greeting is a recognition of your being, I try to offer that as well.
I said I learned it is not bad, never said you were, are you?
Look at the stuff Uncoached says he picked up from me, I do not recall half of that. Also, SSS never said anything about mindfuck, he doesn’t use those terms but I learned a lesson from him that I would call it that.
That ought to free up an extra 20 hours per day. Given your excellent DIY skills, you should be able to design, watch youtube videos to learn how, then build your own retirement love nest for you and Mrs. Freud. Most builders only work 10 hours per day and take six months to build a home……you could be done in three!
How’s that real estate moving? Don’t forget the statue!

The chance to set aside some funds, supplies and develop some plans. I’m still on the right side of the grass, and everything after that is gravy.
B Lever (aka Bea) I give up.

I am sincerely hopeful that through the marvels of modern medicine both my brothers who are in their 80’s will still be here (Lord willing). Other than that I will be glad to still be here enjoying my family and the TBP family also.
Best Wishes For A Happy And Prosperous 2017 !!!

I’m hoping we will see some real benefit from Trump’s attempt to keep and bring back manufacturing. Hell yeah, use tariffs to remove the wage arbitrage and keep taxes low. Companies would be fools not to respond.

I’m going to get my long-rangers all tuned up, and the right recipes dialed in. Scopes on order now.
I’d love to have an “expert” do the work, but in a society where cashiers can’t make change, order-takers fuck up regularly, and the massive amount of data on anybody who does this work for others, why take the chance of it not being done, much less done right?

My goal last year was to lose 15 pounds, only 20 to go!
It was such a success, I’ll probably repeat it this year.

I was expecting the NWO tyrants to implement their wrap-up plans for the Patriots and Goy so I was ready to flee to the Tennessee mountains. Instead, God blessed America and helped expose the NWO Devils; He is giving us a chance to reform with Trump who opposes TPTB and Useful Idiots. I have been sleeping better and investing in improvements to the farm.
One year closer to death.
Always the optimist!

Check out this oldie with the prince of song, Jose Jose and Lani Hall – I Love you Like That
Lani Hall sang with many great Spanish singers, I won’t bother folks with a catalog but she also sang in English with her hubby:

Thank you Westy, sometimes I’m afraid nobody will appreciate the links but I figure if one person can enjoy it, great.
Here’s to 2016 being gone:
Hoping the market crashes like the Hindenburg (I’m short (https://agorafinancial.com/publications/bft/). Where did I hear that phrase “Never let a good crises go to waste?”

How in the heck do you get that I am paranoid? Extreme skeptic yes, paranoid no.
If you live long enough and really observe what goes on and has gone on in the past, how do you not become skeptical?
I said I learned it is not bad, never said you were, are you?

# Unimpaired:: wow, super cool, and never again a fool!
One year closer to selling the business, retirement, and a new chapter of life traveling this country living in a RV, while I can still enjoy it.
SMOD 2017! I still think SMOD can win the inauguration by force on 1-20-17.
I’m going to stop choking the chicken this year. I really really mean it this time.
