Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Rick67]

At 27, he’s still our baby, I dunno 

Must be ‘cuz he’s the only one.

[Rick67]

At 67 YO, he’s very ripped and would beat most guys half his age, a quarter even 

He was our very 1st friend when we 1st came to the US years ago.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Why is it Filipinos never seem to age?
 

[Jshooter71]

In Manila, PI with our 67 YO family friend, an ex monk, who’s been in the US for 20 something years.

Awesome!

[Jshooter71]

This!!! 

I think it’s less stress… or less stupid… if you see or think of anyone of any race/culture who are stressful and/or stupid- they look ancient too. I suppress my stress, mostly- but, I sure have exemplified my share of stupid! Haha!

My oldest son turned 30 in November… they’re all still our babies, for sure.
You have a fine looking young man there, Rick!

[avator]

I assume diet and clean air have alot to do with it.

[Jshooter71]

WTH, sorry for the mistake, J sir 

I thought A was your offspring’s child, lol!

Ah, wish I had a daughter ‘cuz my son is a Ma’s boy.

And no offense taken, Rick- Sir… I get it from time to time and it’s funny to blow people’s minds in public. After telling them our kids’ age they go from grandpa to “you don’t look old enough to have a 30 year old”… I laugh- which is it?! Old/not old enough 😂
Girls definitely change you as a father and a man. That’s for sure!

That too, probably, Bill.

Ain't that the truth!
 My Daughters are currently 34, 35, 36, and 37.
MAN was THAT a RIDE!

Haha! I bet, Scott!!!
My ride’s been a little bumpy, but a little more even, too. And spread out, that helped me or tried to kill me at times! 

[Rick67]

I kinda look like an old shoe, lol!

Thanks, gents.

The Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans age really well too.

In the PI, South Koreans are all over everywhere you look.

They take up engineering and medicine 'cuz it's very affordable for them over there.

I've also noticed that most people with very good complexion shy away from the sun.

Heck, I've seen a a well-heeled Fil-Chinese lady in the PI being umbrella'ed by her driver from the car to the gym's entrance where it was only a few feet away 

[Jshooter71]

That’s true, Rick… I’ve spent time in S. Korea and a little in Japan. Most, especially ladies, cover up from the sun- white gloves in the summer, even. Us knuckleheads, well… I remember my Mom and her generation and the first half of my generation using baby-oil to soak in as much sun as possible… might as well have used cooking oil. 

[Rick67]

True that, J sir.

I had a Fil-Chinese GF when I was in my 3rd year in college, a newbie doctor and older than me by 5 years, and she had such milky and smooth complexion.

OK, I gotta stop 'cuz I'm starting to get impure thoughts right now

My tattoo guy said I was like trying to tattoo a football.

baby-oil mixed with iodine....
And squeeze a lemon in your hair.
I am old... yes it's true.

Mornin y’all.  On the subject of daughters and foreign country’s, we are off to deliver the Iron Maiden to the airport today.  She has decided to move to Brazil and marry some guy she met on line.

She has been trying to join a cult for several years but so far we have managed to thwart her.  I support her financially and I just turn off the money if she gets too crazy.  As crazy as she is she still prefers air conditioning and internet access to living on the street so we’ve at least had that much control of her lifestyle. 

But she says she has met a rich man in Brazil and she is going to live with him.  Pretty sure she’s about to get her organs harvested and end up in a shallow grave.

She’s 29 and smart enough to fool the psychiatrist so there’s nothing we can do.

I am numb.  After 25 years of dealing with her mental illness I am burned out.  If I never see her or hear from her again I don’t care.  But my wife is going to be devastated and I do care about that.

To all of you with sound, mentally healthy kids, know that you are blessed.  Love them and cherish them everyday.
