Things That You Know Aren't Good For You But You Still Do Them Anyway?

Hi All.:)

My guess is that none of us are perfect little angels in life. We all have our weaknesses. Are there things that you do in life that you know aren't good for you, but you still do them regardless? Here are a few of mine:

1. I drink insane amounts of coffee.
2. I stay up all hours of the night.
3. I can't eat cashews in moderation. I suck 'em down like water.
4. I drink lots Coca Cola while I'm staying up all hours of the night.


Peace.

Oh boy, got a while...I am a walking poster child for what not to do. Oddly enough, I never had the urge to take up smoking, can't stand the smell. Drugs never interested me.

I don't drink soda pop either, but look out if there's a good bottle of wine, or a nice mellow whiskey around. I have been known to dance on the table and shoot out the lights on occasion.

I really need to stop this as an old inebriated woman falling off the table, shooting herself in the foot on the way down would not be a pretty sight when the paramedics came to clean up the mess. Besides, it's getting harder to crawl up on the table with a knee replacement:playful:

Just took up drinking coffee when I retired three years ago, but only in the morning and two cups is about it.

I stay up too late, and get up too early to have quality rest, but don't mind snoozing in the lounge chair in the afternoon if I give in and sit down.

I eat too much and need to lose weight, but really I am so over caring about it anymore. Let the good times roll, and me too...and that reminds me I promised to bake the guys a chocolate cake today. Okay, let's be honest on the outside chance I could go to hell for lying,

what the guys really want is beer, what I want is a chocolate cake.:rolleyes:

Attitude wise, one of the worst things I am cultivating to a higher level of finesse in my dotage is telling people what I really think...I tend not to be tactful at times as my patience level is relatively non-existent anymore. I really do try to rein this in, but sometimes the devil just prods me.

Example, I intensely dislike ill-behaved children (which most are these days, and yes I know it's the fault of the parents and not theirs) and am not above telling the restaurant host to seat me in the kid free section. I get some stink-eye looks, but don't care.

Let's hear about your bad behaviors, bad loves company!
 
Ivanchuk, I am prone to do all those things except for the soda - an open Pepsi might stay in the fridge until it's completely flat.....guess I should just quit buying it.

I sit too much, for lack of real work to do, but don't seem to want to exercise or walk enough without company. I'd give a lot for the boundless energy I used to have.

Ooohhh, how I wish I'd done that!

Well hellooo soulmate!

All of the above here too.

Plus I smoke... tch how baaaad is that?!!

Just did a ramble on the virtues of hedonism on another thread, nice to know others have found the trick to enjoying life.
 
It's hard to believe there are only four of us on this forum that have any bad habits lingering into our waning years...should we start thinking about mending our dastardly ways?.............Naaaaaaww!:playful::playful::playful::playful:
 
OG posted: Only 4 people with bad habits on this thread.

Oh, my dear, I have them, just don't have an hour it would take to list them all right now! This has been a heavy work week and I'm counting the minutes 'til the wk-end when I can catch up on the board!
 
I've thought and thought about this but I honestly cannot come up with a single bad habit that I now have or indeed have ever had. In fact, one would not be stretching the truth to say that my life has been exemplary.

I don't want the chocolate cake but I'd take some pound cake with strawberries over top, and a drizzle of that moonshine on top of the strawberries:)

Oh yeah, now you're talking...did you know they now have 'shine in berry flavor....mmm, come on over, I'll grab a can of whipped creme too, and we'll have us a party, hillbilly style!

Looking forward to it, Katy! If you're so inclined, grab a can of whip creme and come on over too.
In fact, everyone is invited...that's another one of my weaknesses...a good party!

Jillaroo...if you hurry I still have a few pieces of that chocolate creme cheese cake I baked..most of it is hanging in a glob on my left ass cheek now though. Like I said, what the guys really want is beer, which leaves the cake for me!

Oopsies.

... never mind.

I wouldn't know where to start - the booze, the drugs, the women or the small furry mammals. :indecisiveness:

Of course I no longer engage in these activities, but like Wind Song they stay on my mind ...

Gee, did you go cold turkey and give them all up at once? Not even one small furry mammal anymore?..a sad, pathetic sheltered life you must live without at least one.

In my youth I used to wear Windsong, and Imprevue...almost forgot about those...hmm, wonder if they still make them .

Yes, it IS a sad, pathetic and sheltered life, and no, no small furry mammals at all - not even so much as a single aye-aye ...

As for the exact timing and methodology of giving them up: yes, it was simultaneous cold-turkey. One day I was lubricated, medicated, satiated and mammalated, and the next, nada. Zip. Zilch. Square root of zero. :crushed:

I don't recommend it to any but the strongest of mortals.

Wal-Mart, Target, Sears are among the stores that still carry Windsong ... ;)
 
It is a matter of perception. You may think I drink too much wine - I don't; I do smoke and will admit to that bad habit but I only smoke outside and now that the weather has turned, I've cut down a lot; I swear - yup - nothing is expressive as the "f**k" word - noun, adjective, verb - fits every scenario; I don't get out of bed until 8:30 every morning; I don't take very much seriously unless it really is; ......AND I'm hooked on television - it is on all day although I really only start to watch it around 6 when the political panels come on. I think I just like to hear the buzz of voices. I don't read enough anymore.

Confessions of blah, blah blah!
