Shoot. We'll be reading you here when you are 85. If you do go away, you will most likely come back as a German guy, working in the Master Shop at Sig DE making awsome pistols. And you'll still have your tuba.. With that, you are stuck here for some time to come. Get used to it. | |||

Happily Retired |
OK. My health is really quite good and I get a physical and full blood work done every year. Perhaps I wasn't very clear with what I said. I don't worry at all if I will make it to my grand daughter's wedding. Not a bit. I do wonder sometimes if I will even be around to see it. I absolutely do not see my mortality as an "enemy" that notion would never even occur to me. Boy, how do I put this so it makes sense, I contemplate it. I find it interesting to sometimes think about. Not in anger or anything like that. I just find it an interesting conversation piece. I have no fear in dying, what could be more natural? Damn, that just sucked...didn't it? I'm with your wife. I believe that we keep coming back until we get it "right". I've felt that way since my 20's. There is an old movie that's called "Defending Your Life", sums it up reasonably well. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

I believe in the principle of Due Process |
Ahh, I quit playing and sold the tuba in December. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Might get to the point I have had enough, I asked my Grandfather a few years ago what it was like to be almost 100 years old.He said I don't know if I want to live that long I have seen enough. He lived to be 99 and 8 moths old. He was stubborn and could have made it to a 100 if he would have had the desire...At the time I did not understand his reasoning,Now I am 41 years younger than when he died and I am thinking sometimes I think I have seen enough.I don't know that I want to make it another 41 years to be as old as my Grandfather, He was one tough old bird. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

The fear I have in my ex. Every day I am thankful to have made it away from him with my life. Moved over 2,500 miles away from him & I still fear he will find me. I feel broken & fear that I can't be fixed. | |||

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms |
The proliferation of drugs in America. A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots. | |||

That feeling must be hard.Restraining orders,a plan and practice will hopefully alleviate those fears. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||
