Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do boring people live longer?

I know several like that, too cheap to do anything for fun, lived wasted lives in my opinion. My boss is like that.

I want to go out on top if she'll let me.

I should have held on to my own beer a little more. Maybe all the disks in my back and neck would still be on top of each other.
Wouldn't trade any of my "adventures" for anything including more time on the back end though.

Good friends and good times. I tune out and try to delete the bad ones, makes looking back fun.

Where's Ingwe?

Off somewhere enjoying his relative youth.

I sure hope we do.

I don't think so.

No Sam, they don't.

I'll use my old man for an example. Though I loved him as only a son can love his father, he was the most boring man I've ever known. Only time I am aware that he imbibed a drink in the last 35 years of his life was one time he had a beer with me after a great personal milestone on my part and we celebrated. He gave up his pipe tobacco when he married my mom in the early 70s, and didn't start again until all us kids were grown and gone, and I bought him a pipe for christmas a few years before he died. He never went to parties, or did anything that wasn't boring. Worked a lot, went to church a lot. Died at age 60 from from cancer. I figured if that's what happens when you live so clean a life, I might as well enjoy myself and at least go to my grave having had more fun. Maybe he and I'll compare notes one day on his farm where the milk cows are gentle, and the corn is always high, or maybe not.

To be fair I'm pretty boring these days myself though.

I'll second that.

I always felt that people that keep busy live longer, especially old folks.

My father was chief engineer with a tornado inside him.... lived to be 90
The wife's grandmother was a minister's wife and never did anything.... lived to be 103.

Looks like lifespan is invariant with boring.

Sounds bad.

Whats the story Sam?

Samm0,

Live by;

Bring it b!tches !



Life's to short, not to experience it all.

(never done hard drugs though)

I tried this once with a candle, and we me as the candle to I guess.

No,
But when your life is boring it will seem like you lived to be a hundred......

With in reason, of course.

I like a little fun now and again. I always have s good time when I’m with me.

Thank you all for the good replies, I found it interesting.


Jim, just thinking out loud. Nothing personal.

Boring people don’t live at all, much less longer.
They simply exist. [bleep] that.
