Like, you got to the tenth dan and that means you can punch through walls and wreck everyone and then there is that old master with golden or purple strings on top of all that that sits on top of some mountain and beats up everyone just by looking at them nastily!<br /><br />I need some tequila shots now.<br />And of course there is no decent real tequila to buy anywhere in this country.<br /><br />But we do have our own local kind of moonshine that is quite good.Ventus https://www.blogger.com/profile/03440323641826866782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-820863110873378482015-05-26T17:52:53.585-07:002015-05-26T17:52:53.585-07:00>Yes.

Sadly, some people also suffer from Alzheimer's and other age-related illnesses. Some people drank way too much throughout their lives and it has taken its toll on them. <br /><br />There is certainly no guarantee that older = wiser. What it does mean is that one has had at least a lot of OPPORTUNITIES to learn.<br /><br />It's up to use to take advantage of those.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-78270841798153285862015-05-24T19:39:54.635-07:002015-05-24T19:39:54.635-07:00back in your prime, there were no UFC.

Age does not always amount to wisdom, as many older folk are so mired in their outdated ideals that they fail to see the world around them has changed.

I misread what you typed and thought it said "Judo is growing old" which is it unfortunately.<br /><br />One of the things I wish to help change since I do have some youth verus knowledge and experience.<br /><br />Although this is my opinion and not based on facts and I know what people say about that.... Growing old is a good thing, although troublesome which all the health complications, growing old is beautiful.
