One of my friends had a guy she met in the hobby 15-17 yrs ago. The old man was a hoot. I mean a red blooded good ole boy that anything at any point in time would fly out his mouth LOL. At 87 years old!
With all that being said, he didn't want to be stuck in a nursing home. His kids were just waiting on him to die to get his house.
So, He paid her 4k a month plus did much more for her kids ect… When he died 6 months ago he died a happy man with his dignity. It was crazy because just the week before he passed we went out for steak at Long Horn (he insisted). We would go anywhere with him. We were never embarrassed. We just made sure when we went me told the staff how he wanted everything at the table LOL and sat where nobody could hear him, incase he made a "not so politically correct" remark LOL.
When we went out to eat & do things it was always a good time because he was funny as hell.All he wanted to do was make sure we ate and drank whatever we wanted. And Its better had been the way we ordered it!
It made him happy.
Before he died He gave me a few things & I cherish them wont get rid of them because we loved that old man! You never know when you may meet someone (in the hobby ect) and they because more than "Leave it on the dresser" to you. Just yesterday my friend & I were in Walmart & I said "Hell if J** was here we wouldn't have to do any of this shit! " The old man always fixed any problems from car, to pluming ect… Then my friend said " I miss my old man".
You younger dudes could take some notes from older gents !! Usually, younger gents are the ones that do embarrassing shit in public. Make me scoot over and pretend like I am not even with you.
