[KG4CGC]

What kind of advice would you give young people today? Financial, relationship, social, etc?

With regard to relationships, find someone whose body odor suits your palate.

What kind of advice do YOU have for the young people today?

[WZ7U]

Don't do what I did. Some of it, anyway. You know, that stuff. The stuff that won't buff out.

Get a haircut and get a real job.

Don't fret over turning into your parents. Hopefully, it will be just the good parts.

[kb2crk]

Be true to yourself

Be kind to others

The world does not revolve around your ass

[KG4CGC]

Good stuff, good stuff.

[N8YX]

Neck or face tats are bad ju-ju.

Follow the lead of the Yakuza here: If you must indulge in body art, your suit or skirt/blazer should hide everything.

[PA5COR]

DOn't get in debt you don't need that latest gizmo, your life does not revolve round it.
Stay within your means, save up, then buy demand bargain for paying cash.

[NQ6U]

Don’t get old.

[KG4CGC]

Don’t get old.

I refuse to go into my 60's quietly.

[n6hcm]

be open to opportunity. it's ok to decline, but it's also OK to say yes.

I've been 60 for a few days now and it's very meh.

[NQ6U]

I refuse to go into my 60's quietly.

I turn 69 next month and feel the same way about going into my 70s.

[WZ7U]

I represent with going kicking and screaming into the new decade.

[n6hcm]

I just turned 60 and, tbh, I don't know what to think.

[W3WN]

I don’t need to know what to think. That’s why I have a spouse.

[WZ7U]

Heh heh

[KG4CGC]

I just turned 60 and, tbh, I don't know what to think.

One word: gym.

[n6hcm]

nah. that's not me. not even for the sauna.

[KG4CGC]

You have to keep moving.

[kb2crk]

You have to keep moving.

That works great until a knee gives out........

[KG4CGC]

Wrap it.
Heat it.
Cool it.
Do whatever it takes. You can still work out arms, stomach etc.

Intermittent lock up at 15 degrees has me on a cane. Still at work everyday but went from 30,000 steps a day down to 4000. Knee surgery in the near future due to excessive moving.....lol cartilage in the right knee is worn out. Left knee not far behind. Still tuning wrenches and swinging hammers.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Just keep moving. Hopefully you're eligible for physical therapy. I have a friend who was in an accident 2 years ago and all they offered him was a wheelchair and narcotic pain drugs. He's still in the chair but opted for PT. He's off the pain meds and little by little becoming less reliant on the wheelchair.

Learn to live on 15 - 20 % of your take home, put the rest a side
Relationship: Have fun, don't make babies in the process
Limit your Social Exposure and monitor who you post it to


With regard to relationships, find someone whose body odor suits your palate

There is this thing caller, "Pheromones". Everyone has/had them, it's the chemicals produced by the body to attract the opposite sex in animals They have also reproduced it and it is marketed on Amazon; it works on a sub-conscience level.

Beware of relationship that evolve from casual church contacts

Get ready for the innate push-back if it is a Bi-Racial / non-compatible-religious relational thing

Times and places change but human beings are still human beings.

[kb2crk]

Don't pet the sweaty things.......


No wait


Don't sweat the petty things

[KG4CGC]

Read all labels carefully.
I think that one could apply to everyone.

[WZ7U]

Read the signs on the road and pay attention to what they are trying to tell you.

[KG4CGC]

When someone asks you to pull their finger, don't.

[NQ6U]

Live fast, die young and leave a nice-looking corpse.

(Alas, too late for that for most of us Islanders. I suspect that a ham radio forum is not the best place for promoting advice to youngsters)

I suppose it's better than getting it from their drunk uncle at Thanksgiving.

[NQ6U]

Yeah, but I was just thinking about the average age of amateur radio operators. They tend to skew towards the older demographic range.

[W3WN]

Live fast, die well, and leave me your gear in your will.









(Not really, but I just couldn’t resist the quip)

[WZ7U]

If you can't get advice from your drunken dutch uncle on a ham forum, who are you going to get advice from? Or where?

[kb2crk]

Always remember what you do to your body Today. You will pay for it later in life if you live long enough.

[N7YA]

Fart proudly.

[kb2crk]

Fart proudly.

And with volume.....

[N7YA]

And with volume.....

Maybe some delay and a wah pedal.

[NQ6U]

Maybe some delay and a wah pedal.

Or at least a whammy bar.

[kb2crk]

Or at least a whammy bar.

Run it through a Rockman X100

[WZ7U]

Echo, so it sounds like into a trash can.

All this and I didn't realize it would pay back WITH interest.

[N7YA]

Go high end. Use an Earthquaker Devices Astral Destiny pedal. Farts never sounded more angelic and mystical.

(seriously, Youtube that thing!)

Woops. Slipped down a rabbit hole.
