Been a long time. Today I slept really late-- 4 PM -- Got up and made up my mind to put my pants on - one leg at a time.. that took a while to decide, yes or no-- It's raining out, no company coming so decided that the extra effort was not needed. --- Next effort that took priority was put on...

NO- It's not going to be "fun". I have been thinkin' again. Over the years it was "fun" to come HOME. To problems that needed solving and being asked to be 100% involved with each child and my wife at the same time. Looking back now, after the fact, that was "fun"! No more fun here and there...

I've read and re-read your post a few times. What I've gotten from those word is a basis of how we are the same and still different. How those I have watched over the years and how my thoughts and actions and daily choices compare. As a person, late teens and early 20s, as with those around me...

First thing - I'm 83 and move slowly and not very far. Second is that I have a failing thyroid which means I have a hard time keeping weight on, so I must consume calories even though I'm never hungry. I have had two heart attacks - and so on and on. That does not mean I am dead yet and have no...

End of another day for me. 1:45 am. Of course I've been getting some advice about what I need to concentrate on. One very recent one suggested that I don't need the comfort of an electric coffee pot or microwave or as much fridg/freezer space that I'm planning on. Each to their own I think. All...

OK, another day. I've learned and now have more confidence. Just nuts and bolts now and a few more forgotten things from the building center, minor things. I now know that I need to spend about $200 or so. Maybe a bit more, well within budget in any case. Over did it on food. got too much of...

Ah Yes- Well I made another move today- Had that neighbor I've mentioned, drive me, Makes him feel useful. He's a klutz but it makes him feel good. Stopped by a building supply store to get a tapered drill bit and some battery cable wire ends needed to make connections between batteries and run...

I am the last one. 4 brothers and sisters, all younger, of course Mom and Dad. Now my wife has died. Because I was the oldest, sibling, When help was needed, I was the one they turned to. When they needed me, I over joyed to be the one they turned to. As always, I was honored to be their rock...

Societies basic norms work. It's hard to say in what order they should be articulated. Probably the first one would be Honesty. First: be honest with yourself before anyone else. One truism that has to do with honesty would be "do unto others" An example would be giving a "gift". When you give...

All I have is words. People NEED more than words. You said "trapped". Right now I've no idea what that means to you? Is there something missing for so long that you don't really know when it began? Probably so long ago that you don't really remember. Some times you look out or "think" out, not...

Look at them eyes. Wide open, I like that. No I'm just making an observation, I'm way old, and I do mean way way old. I do like being alive. I heard that you should never look back cause you never know what might be gaining on you. Life is ahead of you, not behind. What you need is shelter...

I've never spoken much about this here. Yesterday about 40 years ago I too am, and will be be in your shoes. She was 6, two days short of 7. fruit jars and Polly wogs and a pond. I'm sure that two people live that moment for their whole lives but differently. Alone. Now, It's happened to me a...

There ya are! Darned if ya ain't. You know what they say? Everyone has to be somewhere. I'm dragging stuff from one large trailer to the smaller one right now. No hurry but I keep thinking that I've forgotten something. Will it fit or do I really need this? Of course the answer is NO. But maybe...

b4 I did that, I had to do something else. where the heck is my list? There it is, now I can't read it. Eye doctor said I had catapults. That means I can't find by rear with both hands. That's strange, I wasn't even looking for it.

I'll probably get banned for this post or have it deleted but I'll do my best to say, not say anything. Pills down and first cup of coffee half gone. see there, I did it, didn't indicate anything. I did not make a statement, I "indicated" also was thinking of doing some research and taking this...
