HAPPY EASTER! What a gift He gave the world! The God of hope! The chance for salvation!

Hope you find what you’re looking for. We are at 650’ above sea level where we live in Illinois. Most of the time we have pretty decent weather around here.

I can tell that I have less lung capacity all of the time and that if I don’t do something soon I will be in trouble as far as breathing. I just ordered some green tea and an infuser with a glass container because I saw where drinking green tea is supposed to help. My older brother died while on...

Still don’t understand why even as a kid I had a drive to always have money for whatever I wanted. My parents weren’t poor but I just had that sort of self respect to want to work for what I wanted. I did all of the jobs kids could do and as a teen I did farm - field work in the summer and...

An inlaw has a relative who lost his job. The place just gave them their last paycheck and closed the doors. So this guy I’ll call Bob has a wife and three teen daughters and he had been working from home. One of those office job type of worker. So my Son In Law has everybody keeping an eye out...

Sounds like you are getting the best of care. Were conditions different during the COVID days up there too? My wife had all of her major problems right at the height of the COVID pandemic and it certainly made things harder for us. We have good insurance because I worked for 41 years for a major...

Yes Sir! You are certainly right about that!

My doctors are usually pretty good about stufff but I realize that nobody is perfect all of the time. For about the last twenty years or so I have done a pretty good job of looking up as much information as I can about anything that my wife or I am prescribed. I don’t remember the details but...

Because they asked me 500 times what medicines I take for the last fifty years it makes me want to blame the medical community for not questioning if those medicines are still right for me but I realize that a responsible adult should have enough sense to go through their list of medicines and...

I saw nothing that says it slows digestion but reasoned that if it reduces stomach acid and stomach acid being what breaks down food then it stands to reason that it slows digestion. By the way I am feeling better every day since I quit the Pantoprazole Sodium and even had a natural bowel...

Sometimes it would be hours later and I would feel like none of the food that I had eaten earlier had digested at all. Then I thought about how my bowels weren’t working properly either. Not working naturally and regularly. I started wondering if I had a deficiency in stomach acids or bile. Then...

I don’t know if some family members do things like that out of spite or because it makes them feel important. My older sister took everything she wanted when our parents died. Now that my sister is gone,too, her daughter, my niece still has all of the family pictures and anything else that my...

My closest friends are gone and have been for some time. That hurt for a while and I will always regret that I never kept up with them. But because I moved so far away it wasn’t like I just quit meeting up with them. My career required so much of my time plus the time spent being a family man...

I don’t think of it as sad just knowing that they are gone because it just seems natural and I know it won’t be long and I will be gone too. I think that the warmth I get from reading about them is because I loved them so much and because all of their memories mean so much to me.

I started looking on the internet for names of people I knew when I was younger. Funny how I get such a sense of happiness and warmth while reading about them even in their obits. Because that seems to be where almost all of them are now. But to see that the guy I went to highschool with, did...
