...and stay the hell away from sugar. I quit drinking back in October and immediately went on a sugar binge of historic levels. I picked up 15-lbs., just like that. And my energy level plummeted.

I've got to kick this jones. Unfortunately, Mrs. Neon and Old Man Neon's daughter don't want to go along with that. Damned near impossible to fly solo on this sort of journey.

I find that drinking is not an impediment to maintaining weight, but sugar otherwise sure is.

I am, to my own surprise, still only one year older than the Nazarene at the time of his far less significant death.

Despite this, I am older than all of you. Unfortunately, I mean physically.

Seriously, what a wreck I am.

You know how some folk claim that a heavy manual job will toughen you up and keep you fit and strong? Will it fuck. It'll kill you, and in surprisingly short order. The drink doesn't help neither.

Nevertheless, I predict for myself at least another thirty-five years of parasitism, indolence, and hilarious slapstick decline, sucking funds out of the health service the whole way down. It is... my destiny.

I am between 30 and 40 years of age.

If I shaved, they would still ask me for ID when buying beer. So I don't, usually. For some reason in my line of work beard also gives you a certain authority.

I'm so darned young compared to all of you here.

Well. I could swap ages ;)

Not looking forward to the UNIX time Epoch which began at 156060000. Which will make me 40 this coming 12/12. Ugh. I soooo don't want to be 40. I started out hangin' with you fools :partyhat back in my early 30s. In this time we have totally solved everything and will continue to do so going forward! :moresarcasm

My birth cert. says 48, but I'm somewhere between 4 and 75, dependent on the moment.

Thank you! Not sure if you are a new arrival or an old arrival who's come back to visit, but either way glad to see you on the forum :)
