Morning All

Happy Birthday Judy!!

Work's been crazy - I love it. I hate being bored. Aside from me - it's a good thing - means the economy is turning a bit. When there's money companies do deals and my attorneys negotiate the deals so it's a win/win!

Helen how you holding up? You're right - you need to get used to being alone but you should look into the group Anthony mentioned. Once in a while it's good to get out and get away.

Patsy - I agree I feel a "molly" coming on. Maybe one day next week!

Suzie, Terry, Anna, Maryann, Debbie, Anthony, Paul, Fred, Jeanette, and to any one I missed, have a great day.

Boss man just walked in - let the games begin!! Later

Thank Karen....when did you sneak in.....

To Patsy & Terry,
If losing family, friends & neighbors gets to you, DO NOT move into a Senior Community. Across the street from me their are FIVE widows in a row. When we moved in they ALL had husbands. (I am exhausted taking care of the widows).
During the same time period I have lost 1 Brother, 1 Sister & Carol has lost 1 Brother & 1 Sister. Around the corner from me I lost count of the widows. Too many to count. Death is part of life. Especially as you age. On the bright side Carol's Mother will be 95 next month and still lives on 13th Street in the house she moved into when she was 3. Carol was born in that house. Still more on the bright side. While my parents died quite young, even my Brother & Sister that died out lived them by many, many years. Ironic fact. Up to this generation in my family I had a Grand Uncle who died in his 70's in 1954. He was the LONGEST LIVING family member in his generation. Why ironic? He was a hobo who lived from place to place, only ate right when he came to visit family and the only time he saw a Doctor (before his final place) was when they fished him out of the East River in December. They gave him a teaspoon of Brandy to help revive him. They left the bottle on the nightstand and left the room. He came around, drank the rest of the brandy, got dressed and walked out of the Hospital. So much for taking extra good care of yourself. It is of course the best road to good health to eat right, drink sensibly but in his case?. You figurs it out. :roll: :roll:
