Between my wife and I, our longest living grandparent is grandpa Bob. Grandpa Bob was a used car salesman, smoke, drank, and knew most the hookers in NorthWest Arkansas. Grandpa Bob loves to fish, lives to fish..... and so do his 2 sons who take him fishing all the time. He is as happy as can be with a beer in one hand and a rod in the other surrounded by his boys. He will be 94 soon and still going stong even though he should have been dead probably 20 years ago.

"I know his type, I am related to his type"

I feel your pain. 🤣

"Tutto passa": My mammina used to say likewise.

When the findings of the first million-dollar studies came out eons ago re how red wine is good for you, (ditto for olive oil and coffee and chocolate and pomegranates and lemons and tomatoes and chestnuts and almonds and rosemary and oregano and thyme and sage and unprocessed food and homemade vinaigrettes and sauces and, fish, and cooking al dente, and, and, and, and...) she always responded with something along the lines of "Quelle teste di stronzi!" [English translation: S#1t#3ads] or «Espèce d'imbéciles!» "Such a waste of time and money. For a million dollars I and everyone in this neighbourhood could have told them the same thing over an espresso break."

🤣

Awesome article. Complety agree with Tutto Passa philosophy. All of us are born with a definitive lifespan and don't live for eternity.

Yeah, all that hard work and all that money & this is what he has to show for it….poor Bryan…. He should’ve stuck with good olive oil from the Mediterranean and left it at that instead of sucking his son dry, & bank acct too…🙄…

Excellent W2.. just excellent. I read a quote from Sophia Loren the other day… ‘ I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size zero’ … Touche!

Yep I loved that too.

Banger, WW. Thank you

Methinks the health experts protest too much about cigarettes. I suspect organic tobacco has actual health benefits.

Dray's avatar

I’ve read some studies that state that nicotine is actually good for you..

Mac's avatar

It's supposed to have nootropic effects

Yeah Right's avatar

Nicotine, is very beneficial, and it is in eggplant, tomatoes, and most all nightshade veggies.

Listened to this on my walk this morning (loved every hilarious word), then came home to start researching my stack and second headline I see is this: Bryan Johnson Spent Millions Chasing Youth Now Says His Stomach is Eating Itself.

SMH.

The leathery Italian dude's right. Plus he's so much sexier. ;)

He's making too much money on shake oil to admit he did this to himself. And for just $99.99, you too can.....

Our days are numbered by the Lord. So I keep trusting in Lord with ALL my heart and lean not into my own understanding.

Thomas Hart's avatar

Our mortal days are numbered, but our days with Jesus are not 😄

A corollary of tutti passa is “La dolce de far niente” or the sweetness of doing nothing… (with credit to Liz Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love)
