Sounds like we were two peas in a pod. Didn't even have two pennies to rub together.
I've never done any drugs....drank a good bit in my younger days.
Yup, my parents both smoked . . . . . my lungs as a kid (and now) were trashed. To this day I cannot stand being around smoke or smokers . . . . that included maryjewana . . . .
I'm so sensitive to the stuff, I can tell if the driver of the car in front of me is smoking, even with my windows closed. I'll change lanes and pass the azzhat . . . . .
Haven't drank a lot either. When I was young (18-ish) I went to a Christmas party and consumed waaaay to much formaldehyde laced "punch." Got so sick that I puked and passed out in the snow when I got home. I couldn't tolerate the smell of alcohol until I was about 23 or so.
I've read about everyone's affinity for bourbon. Never tried the stuff. Tequila tastes like diesel fuel to me, don't like gin, beer is good, rum is better. I do enjoy a nice Cabernet from time to time, and have developed quite the affinity for Amaretto. Other than that, I'll buy a 12 pack of Yuengling Black and Tan which usually lasts me 6 to 10 months.
So yeah, I am genetically weird . . . . . .
