And by “toughguys” you mean uninformed morons right?

Having had to involuntarily commit my mom a handful of times over the last 15 years of her life, tracking her down when she would go AWOL, picking her up at bars where she was self medicating with booze after going off her meds (we’re talking about a woman in her 60s and 70s, rip mom), I’d love to be an uninformed moron again.
No kidding. My wife and I used to comment that we were “normal and boring.” Absolutely nothing wrong with that and I’d love to be there again someday. Bless you for your moms struggles.
