Okay, I'm NOT too old to think back on those days Anya/Georgia and Tapu were talking about!! I was stationed at Camp Pendleton from '79 to '81 and I remember staying out all night (on the weekends) and partying at those places like (San Diego) The Apartment, The Club (Laurel/Kettner), Diablo's (El Cajon Blvd), The Brass Rail, etc. In LA, it was Peanuts and in Long Beach, Que Sera. Oh, and there was this wonderful little bar in Palm Springs called "Aunt Hatties". We used to drunk line dance there, which is something I am waaaaay too old to do now. :|

Oh, and I'm too old and crippled to disco dance anymore, and I used to do that much better after a couple of shots of JD, chased with a few beers. I'm too old to drink like that anymore, too. In fact, I take too many meds to drink at all, these days.

...and I'm waaaaaaaayyyy (and crippled) to run a Marine Corps physical fitness test now. I used to run those hung over. Ugh. :seeingstars:

Those were the days!!! :hangloose:

But.....I ain't too damned old to remember...and still enjoy this, which I had on 8-track and used to listen to in my '78 Camaro:



Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!! :winky:

Just yesterday...
 

I was at the grocery and stopped tpo have bread sliced. The oly one in the bakery was Sue. who does the cake decorations....She had 6 cakes lined up for the day. She told me that Saturday was a killer - she had 15 to do before 3 pm!

We talked for a few minutes about all our ailments, surgeries and tried to refer each other to the best ortho, best neuro, best back doc.

I am too old to play softball any longer, as I played the catcher position. No way can I squat for 2-3 hours and expect to stand for longer than 20 minutes!

But I can still find my way around a dance floor for a few 2 steps and sing karaoke until the cows come home! And "jello legs" are appropriate, but few and far between....*wink*

I dont know if I am too old for, or just too banged up for, things. I cant garden like I use to. But thats ok. I dont eat like I use to, so smaller gardens are good.

I cant eat like I use to. Not just smaller amounts but I also cant eat spicy things, heavy meats or sauces, milk products and items known to create high cholestral.

I cant love like I use to. I am way too guarded and damaged.

I just wonder.... Could theOddz, Anya, and I have ever met up? I hit those bars in every town you named.

Think back:

I tended bar at the Flame for about a year and a half.
I tended bar at the Dinah Shore open, can't remember what year.
I worked door guard at the Boom-Boom Room, wearing a vintage leather jacket. (Laguna Beach, mostly men's bar. Had full aquariums under the bar so that when you leaned your elbows on it, you were staring down at tropical fish! Hard to forget that....)

Does any of this ring a bell? Probably not, but it would be cool if so.

Hey, I wonder if AARP ever holds any parties there.... :p

some days, risk.

Strappie 08-17-2011 04:33 PM

Nothing really... If I said that too often there wouldn't be anything for me to do!

I can only live once, well unless I come back as something else. Lord only knows what that would be.. lol

pajama 08-17-2011 04:58 PM

Moving. As in, loading heavy things on a truck, unloading them, then carrying them up stairs. Never again.

Sachita 08-17-2011 05:28 PM

can't drink like I use to. Not even close.
can't eat spicy food like I use to without paying for it
can't deal with heat

won't and don't put up with nonsense or head games like I use to. Way too old for that

Abigail Crabby 08-17-2011 06:09 PM

I've been everywhere you talked about in San Diego Theo lol

Those are the places I came out at.......wow Memories.

I'm not too old for anything.......In fact these days I feel up to just about anything.

I work with someone who wants to go sky diving.....and I'm like ok why not jump out of a perfectly good airplane lol I know I would be screaming all the way down.

But hey it just might be my Christmas gift to myself - hehehehe

Remember you're only as old as ya feel - and I feel fine......

Drama
Going out drinking too much. The dancing part I could still do as long as it's house music or a great band.
The music on the radio.
Holding on to petty stuff.
Wasting my time with bs. I guess that goes with drama.

I was thinking about this earlier today, Theoddz posted about driving up from Pendleton 79-81 to go to Peanuts. We could have been dancing side by side and never knew it!

I was the femme wearing my hair in a big afro-type 'do (I thought it would be a good idea to get a perm though my hair is naturally curly) dancing with the Greek beauty with hair down to her waist!

Tapu, looking at your avatar I couldn't recall If I had seen you though I did go to the Boom Boom Room several times.
