Taomeow Posted 17 hours ago (edited) P.S. Pens are on my mind in conjunction with longevity of late, seen information (and believed what I saw for once) that one of the best ways to protect/preserve one's brain later in life is to write in longhand. Apparently this activates three times as many neural connections as clicking keys or finger-poking screens. And of course it's got to be a fountain pen (personal opinion, corroborated by aficionados.) So I hunted down on ebay and bought this present for my vintage brain: Edited 17 hours ago by Taomeow 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were not talking about other chemicals; we were specifically speaking nicotine. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-leading-edge/202506/the-hidden-healing-power-of-nicotine https://www.vumc.org/ccm/whynicotine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Che Guevara famously smoked cigars and didn't make it to 50. So ymwv, I'm no doctor, and am not prescribing or diagnosing here. I doubt it was cigar smoking that finished off Che Guevara. Maybe, stirring up revolutions in South America was the culprit So, a word to those who strive for longevity, don't go and get yourself executed. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the 90 proof special reserve won't be added at lunch, dinner, or just snacking around. Plus, I like to get something accomplished, early in the day, so I carry that sense of accomplishment through the day. The grey cat clan, including one black, one calico, plus the 5 grey ones that have managed to remain here, have been feasting on roasted turkey breast for two days No wonder, I live in abject poverty...
