    prescriptions are easier to get
     
  2. Quite exhausting to read them as well.

    Let me preface this by saying I've done both DMT and Psilocybin...


    Why do you think that DMT shows you there is a space after death?

    Why do you think ingesting these pharmacological substances suggests that your consciousness is not a product of the physical body?

    Little things don't matter much, and I have less tolerance for bullshit

    The cops treat me with more respect.

    I'm less gullible than when I was younger. I wish that were true of everyone as they age, but a lot of Trump supporters are up there in years.

    Many years of experience have let me hone my crafts. I know how to play to my strengths and overcome my weaknesses.

    Finally, retirement is about a year and a half away, I have that to look forward to.

    Nope. You and Old Tiger are two of the youngest people on here, and we could all learn a lot from you two.

    Jeep enjoying the party that is life, mate! :)

    I grow old … I grow old …
    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
    I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
    I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

    I do not think that they will sing to me.

    Every time I get called ma'am, part of me wants to murder the person saying it.

    Whenever I get carded, I want to make out with the person carding me.

    Someone carded me when I was in my thirties... I told her "I didn't come here to play cards". She laughed and rang up the beer...

    sorry if i did then. what you're saying here makes perfectly good sense to me. or almost close enough to it.

    i still think all the names are just things humans came up with to call them.
    and that whatever there is, owes nothing to what one person tells another to call it.

    as for personal experiences, what is called the bardo, could simply be because people from different worlds see themselves as how they evolved there.
    and to a person who isn't open to diversity, any heaven would to them seem like a hell.

    that is how we create what we experience, not as reward or punishment, but simply the view from our perspective we have created for ourselves.

    The only good thing about getting older is I'm closer to retirement,

    The problem is once I've retired, there's nothing good about getting older

    Yeeeeap. That's why I try and do as much as I can. I don't want to be growing up not being able to do things. I might not make Everest, but I'll get to base camp! And tell everyone I did it anyway! :D

    I've watched documentaries of older people climb to base camp and I so that gives me hope. I've got 15 years. Between now and 15 years I'm going to get there its on my list.

    I also want to chase that cheese down the hill in the UK and I want to run with the bulls. I also want to shark cage dive, which I am next year. :)

    My bucket list doesn’t include Everest, but it does include a trip to Antarctica

    Yes I would also do Antarctica. You can cruise from probably SA and Tasmania, I know they do cruises that way.
    Aaaages ago when I was a teen I half contemplated working the for 6 months at one of the stations lol.
    And I don't think I'd do Everest, but the base camp walk looks fun too and still takes a while. It would be an adventure.
