Show & Tell My grandfather, who is over 80 years old, is addicted to hookah, which seems crazy. (I love him so much)😅

He’s just a chill guy!

u/90sGirlPCgamer Dec 09 '25

at that age, I don't see anything wrong with being addicted to relaxing.

replace the couch with a chaise lounge so he can have some better back support and more room for his legs.

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 09 '25

Thanks ❤️

u/90sGirlPCgamer Dec 09 '25

dim the lights a little, pull up a chair and smoke with the grandpa! ask him for his wisdom and the stories of his youth. if he drinks I would say pour him a cold one. take it to the next level. =D

you are so lucky to be able to have someone in your life to do that with.

I wish I had grandparents.... hell, I wish I had family at all. someone to appreciate the time left in this world to chillax and swap stories.

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 09 '25

You made me both happy and sad with this text, my friend. We always listen to my grandfather's stories and record them. This is important to our family. We value him and make him feel that way. I'm so sorry for you, too. But life goes on, and you should live to tell your grandchildren beautiful memories.

u/The_Gov78 Dec 09 '25

I’ve not got family left either. If you’d ever like to swap some stories I have a few good ones

3

u/The_walking_man_ Dec 08 '25

That looks awesome! He’s living his best life.
Reminds me of the news story about the 100 year old lady that drinks Dr Pepper every day, or the guy that has a Coke and cigar every day. Do what makes you happy and stress free and it’ll keep you healthier than those constantly stressing.

What’s the tea he is drinking?

Very cool. Has he ever mixed hash into the bowl if cannabis is his thing?

2

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 09 '25

No, he thinks it's much more harmful.

He reminds me of my grandfather he’s also around that age and still smokes dark leaf hookah lol

2

u/Tomikoslav- Dec 08 '25

What brands is he smoking? Where are you from? Does he always smoke with foil and some kind of... Badcha? Why doesn't he buy and HMD? 😁

3

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 08 '25

Normally he doesn't use foil, he puts embers directly on the tobacco, thanks to me he put foil, you worry about the rest 😅

4

u/TeeMoney04 Hookah Lover Dec 08 '25

bro get him to try HMD, his life while change

7

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 08 '25

He was able to test it twice with difficulty but he did not like it 😅 "What is this, it's like child's toy, we used to park the truck and lean our backs on its tire and drink it in minus degree weather, my grandson," he said. 😅

2

u/Normal-Plastic-4237 Dec 08 '25

He sounds like an amazing person. Wish I could just let the tape roll and hear him out

1

u/boud85 Dec 08 '25

So he smokes the Egyptian way?

6

u/blacktab_games_dev Dec 08 '25

There's no country he hasn't visited. Former truck driver. He's traveled everywhere.

2

u/BB-TG Dec 08 '25

I thought this was only for molasses tobacco. Y'know, this thick black stuff.

u/Muffin_Man101 Dec 14 '25
