He is a Seattle Washington doper Deluxe. Never had a real job, been smoking reefer since he was about 11 and that's all he does all day. He was diagnosed with diabetes in his twenties and ate anything he wanted until he lost one leg at 30. Went on state and federal disability where he's been for the last 20 years. Never had a girlfriend, lives alone, just smokes dope all day everyday. He should be the poster boy for marijuana in Washington State.

From what I gather from all his anecdotes about their sicknesses, EB’s family either has the worst luck in the world or the worst genes in the world.

My thought is that anybody that lives past 50 just didn't do life right. They need more adventures and risk.

We should have met up 30 years ago.

Most people do not consider lying in bed or on the couch watching sports on TV to be very adventuresome or risky. Your definition of 'adventures and risk' seem to be different than everybody else's.

Why explain the significance of comorbidities if he.hasn't paid attention up to this point.

I think you are missing the point. I am over 50 and still living so I have not lived a good adventurous life. I wish I would have done a lot more as a younger man. I am a true believer that living longer is just diminishing returns and not worth very much.

It's worth exactly what you put into it, like everything else in life. I'm not a big Christmas fan, I think it's a huge waste of time. But one year, 1989 to be exact, I put everything I had into celebrating Christmas that year. It turned out to be the best Christmas I ever had as an adult. But that's because I put a tremendous amount of effort into making it a good Christmas. Everything in life is about your attitude towards it, you are the one creating your reality, your reality does not create you. So if your life stinks, and you think growing old stinks, you are doing that to yourself. That is your reality because you choose it to be your reality.
