I remember, but it just ain't important anymore.:p :mad:
Nor worth the trouble.:cool: :D
 
O.K. - if you say so. Guess I'll just go rub a Khuk handle:rolleyes:

Have you figured out how you're going home yet?
 
Now that's SCARY!( At least to someone who just turned 51. )
 
Just advice, but if you can manage it, do a Jack Benny (plus 12) and stick right where you're at.

It's still fun, but it hurts more when you laugh.

The age will slip away and you won't even notice it.:D
Just wait Little Bro, you'll see and it doesn't hurt a bit and frees up your mind for thinking about other things.:D

Bro we're gonna have to go back the way we came. Sorry!!!!:(
I wish we could sidetrack and stay a couple of more days, but I have another drs. appointment on Friday after we get back on Wed. Another innard's check. The plumbing has been acting up and I really have to watch what I eat. I just can't wait too give up something else. And that's the real reason I continue to smoke and have an occasional drink. The bastids have already taken more away from me than is desirable, but you know the story well as well.:mad:
And I'm too the age where I have to rest a day before attempting much of anything.:D
 
Before prohibition, a few people drank. During prohibition, nearly everybody drank. When the blue noses saw how much fun they were having, they thought up repeal, ruined the party and raised taxes. The taxes kept going up, but they took away my beer. The little I can afford, after taxes, sure tastes good:D
 
I think this may be a very valid observation, Wal.

Example:

In Nepal almost all drugs were legal until the hippie influx of the 60's. Almost no Nepalis used any drugs at all, including ganja which grows wild and abundantly there. Then the Haight Ashbury hippies invaded Nepal to take advantage of the legal aspect of getting almost any drug at prices next to nothing. A dollar would keep them high for a month.

Then the problems started. The hippies would get drugged out, down and out, and would have to be shipped back to the US at taxpayers expense. The US State Department threatened to cut off all US aid to Nepal unless the country passed some anti-drug laws. Nepal did.

Then the Nepali youth culture started doing drugs and today it is a major problem there.

Forbidden fruits are always sweeter!
 
I know full well that I have only skimmed the surface of Nepali culture with what I've found on the web. One observation is that through all I've seen, they seem to have a thread of goodness, or integrity, or an 18th century sense of what is right and wrong, regardless of which one they are involved in. The Maoists 'phone the rural police, saying they will drop by and raid between 4:00 and 4:30, and the police book for that half-hour. Their politics are convoluted, but seem more straight than some, even with all the graft and deliberate red tape.

Somehow it doesn't seem of character for them to rebel against something forbidden, but if the laws were dismissed, and the only governing factor was public shaming, I'd almost expect many, if not most, to turn around.
