I don't know who is around. I thought I'd write a note. I didn't get to go to the basketball game last night as the school took off for inclement weather. I decided to go to a movie and saw "Marley and Me" The movie was good, not great. It got to be quite a tearful thing at the end when the old dog was dying. It made me think about our last dog. He had a stroke at the age of 11 and needed to be put to sleep. Man, that is a tough decision to make, and, it's something that has had to be done before with other pets.

My husband's mother is dying of cancer and has just held on for a little more than a week, now.

Both situations made me think about that point when which I am so ill, it will just be a waiting game for my family. I was ill with something like food poisoning last week, and had I have known I wasn't going to get better, I would have wanted a medication to slowly drift off in a rather quick manner. I wonder if I will be able to make that decision in 20 or so years from now.

Sorry for the maudlin thoughts.

I wish I could delete this whole thread and start over. I sincerely wanted my profile rated. I was trying to let the people on this site (that may be reading one of my forum posts),know that I truly enjoy who I am, what I do, and want the opportunity to exchange a few good words with them to see where they might be "in this moment of time in their life". The > 50's group of people are funny, light-hearted, wonderful, and enchanting to (interact) with.

The penny thing got out of hand and I should have never mentioned it. I have this sort of silly philosophy that every time I find a penny, it's (God) calling attention to the fact that all is right in the world.

me, too, the food is cooked and I am off to see the wizard.

Well, by the time I popped off my last post everybody was there. Guess you can't quiet this bunch down.

I know you are a nice guy, but darnit, I easy.

I flew over here just long enough to say . I'm going to a local high school basket ball game and I need to make some Hamburger Helper for my poor husband who is either driving his 18 wheeler or fixing it. I travel alone a lot. He doesn't mind my visiting, though!

I need to go for now just when it is getting interesting, but I have been going to local high school basketball games to recapture my youth

Even kind of funny at times!

Hi G,

I like talking to this group here. I am married so not looking for a man. I am looking for good company and I think I found it here on this site and with this age group.

And there is no way to change the spelling!
How do I delete the thread?

Wrong choice of words, huh?


YIKES worse yet wrong way to spell pennies!

You interact with people in the forums


Wrong choice of words, huh?

I came to this site to interact with people. I have found enough penneys to put a dent in my 5 gallon jug!

I'm sorry for your loss! Your words are beautifully written!

There is some really, really nice people here in these forums. My house seldom has visitors except my children. It would be so cool to meet regularly with some of you people.

I'd like to help with the cheerful stuff!

HG, I love your posts. I have wanted a horse all my life, leased one for a year, name was Stormy. He was 20, I was 60, both of us old "farts" but I loved spending time with him, grooming him. I have a muscle disorder and couldn't ride any more. The stable owner retired him to peacefully graze and live out his years. At this time of the year, I always think about him out in the cold. She has alot of horses and can only shelter a few. It was nice to read that you fixed it up for your horse.
