Great news. It is nice when people are given reason for hope. Helps to live a better and happier life.

Wishing you all the best Llynn.

It has warmed up to _18C now. Just below 0 F. It was -22C {-8F} when I got up at 6:00 AM. Sunny but a bit of breeze blowing.

We were just talking about this in another senior forum. What brought it up was someone mentioned about television stations signing off at midnight or similar times. Before they signed off some of them had a recorder message. "It is 11:00. Do you know where your children are?" Almost like a...

We lived in a very small town. When we were under teen age years we were expected home when the street lights came on. When we got to be early teenage years I think we were pretty much trusted because of our earlier performances so as long as we were home by midnight we were gold. If we were...

If you mean by safety precautions, I believe they have a disclaimer and a list of things to be weary of.

My wife Annie went to hospital in March of 2023 she and I assumed that she would probably never see Harper again. One of the nurses suggested that I fill out a form and arrange to bring her in. Harper and I were there every day until Annie passed away Apr.18/23. Annie was over the moon when I...

I am so sorry for your loss.

I love how quickly those guys can hook up a car these days.

Made supper for my wife and I then cleaned up and got my wife ready for bed. She had MS. After I put her to bed I turned the...

I either talk to or text a lot of my family quite often and a few of us get together most Sunday mornings for breakfast. I talked to my younger brother yesterday on the phone and I normally see him two or three times a week.

A friend of mine had very high numbers 6 or 7 years ago and was diagnosed as well. He went through the treatment and beat it. Wishing all the best for Ron and yourself.

Many years before I met my late wife I met a lady at a Country bar we used to go to. She was a beautiful woman and we got to be good friends. Not intimate but good friends. We kind of protected each other from people coming up and asking one or the other of us to dance. We had a signal to let...
