My neighbor smokes

[Onlooker]

So, I stop in my neighbors apartment. She's very sweet, and I enjoy talking with her once in awhile. Her boyfriend, who lives nearby, stopped by. He served us all a couple of sherries, before he finally fell, but then got up off the floor. My neighbor, perhaps from the sherry, nodded off a couple times, but then she perked up and offered me to join her in smoking a Basic cigarette. I rarely smoke, but decided to this time. After all, she's 97. (Her boyfriend's in his 80s.) Imagine that, 97 and smoking cigarettes, drinking sherry, and dating. Ain't that the life!

2. Hell , gives me hope!

My boyfriends were falling down on me when i was eighteen. Good to know some things never change!

What an awesome gal. Cheers to your neighbor. Sounds like you discovered a new party buddy you never knew you had...:toast:

3. Hope she doesn't burn the house down

But other than that, more power to her.

9. Drinking, nodding off and smoking-

doesn't sound like a good combination-unless you want to burn the house down.

4. My 86 year old neighbor Mary Jane has a beer or glass of wine

every evening. Sometimes we join her, or she joins us for hors d'oeuvres and gossip. She an artist who is still working, though not so much as in yeaars past (we have four of her paintings)

5. Awesome, man

My Great Gramma ate and did whatever she wanted, and lived to be a 103- didn't die of disease or anything other than just old age. And she went happily, and peacefully. Sounds like your neighbor has the same frame of mind as my dear old great gramma did!

6. She should quit smoking.

She'll only shorten her life span. What if she only lives to be 103 instead of 105?

8. I applaud her!

She's lived a good, long life. I think she should be able to do whatever she likes, whether it's drinking, smoking and dating!
