In two weeks I'll be 33. *shudder* But other than that, I'm fan-freaking-tastic.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

30 myself. Not far behind you, Carson, and I refuse to think of myself as old yet.....even if I am starting to lose my hair.

I thought of myself as old just today when someone said they were born in 1987. That seems so recent...

And I'm only 31 right now, so I'm not that old. But my body feels anchient...

hey, great to hear your doing well.

Your not old mate..i'm 31 going on 50 ..least i feel that way sometimes.

and sev, shit dude ive had a receding hairline since i was 20

 

[carsonshepherd]

I'll never have to worry about male pattern baldness but my BF is 34 and is losing his hair. His dad is as bald as - well, whatever's really bald. He always wishes his chest and back hair would migrate back up to his head.

 

[joeys-game]

I can understand that very wish. Mind you, i've been relatively lucky, the receding is slow, hasn't traveled too far since the begginning of its travels.

 

[maggot420]

I don't think I'll have to ever worry about it either what with my crazy fro.

Good to see you again Carson. I thought you maybe went and got married and settled down or something. Can you do that in your state?

Cheers mate.

Yesterday while driving on I71 northbound in OH I saw a car park on the bridge at the 35 mile marker... myself and the other big trucks grumbled because we had to switch into the hammer lane to avoid hitting the rear end of the parked car. Then the strangest thing happened... the CB radio goes ballistic.... "the guy jumped" "he walked to the front of his car, sat on the cement guard rail thing and just swung his legs over and jumped" "come on your kidding, he couldnt have" "OMFG he did" "that's a 300+ foot fall" then dead silence

what... in the Goddess's name pushed someone that far... so far that they decided walking off that bridge into the beyond was the right thing to do... my heart is so utterly sad

Move to the rez....it's still sad, but it becomes commonplace, unfortunately.

Yeah, don't i know it.
Several buddies of mine live on the rez, right next door but so many different 'ways'..and unfortunately one decided on that defining , can't go back route, for his means to an end.

We've lost four in the past five years, and just today someone told me they were thinking about it.

It's a culture of despair, I think. Despair, poverty, and other circumstances. I think it's close to being the number one "killer" of natives, way ahead of disease, auto accidents, etc.

I think your right Cloudy.
My friend was an absolutely stunning artist, yet he was so full of anger, despair...?

The culture has been so bashed, its no wonder.

CDC has this info on their website:

From 1979-1992, 4,718 American Indians and Alaskan Natives (Native Americans) who resided on or near reservations died from violence--2,324 from homicides and 2,394 from suicide. During this 14-year period, overall homicides rates for Native American were about 2.0 times higher, and suicide rates were about 1.5 times higher, than U.S. National rates. Native Americans residing in the southwestern United States, northern Rocky Mountain and Plains states, and Alaska had the highest rates of homicide and suicide.

Both homicides and suicides occurred disproportionately among young Native Americans, Particularly males. From 1990-1992, homicide and suicide alternated between second and third rankings as leading causes of death for Native American males 10-34 years of age. For Native American females aged 15-34 years, homicide was the third leading cause of death. Almost two-thirds (63%) of male victims and three-quarters (75%) of female victims were killed by family members or acquaintances.

Nope and I wouldn't want to. Marriage ruins everything

 

[jushorny]

[maggot420]

Nope and I wouldn't want to. Marriage ruins everything

which explains why I'm always looking for potential ex-wives.


I saw a sign on the side of the road that said
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you."
I found out later it was a parachuting school.

They are incredibly harsh but accurate statistics...I admit i havn't delved into them too thouroughly , I just know that my friends are often the subject of ridicule or harassment..and seeing that and sticking up for my friends is 'reality' enough for me.
