“the Bill will allow terminally ill, mentally competent adults - with less than six months to live -to seek an assisted death” As one who supports this bill I have one question, what of those who have expressed a quick and easy passing beyond 6 months in the future but who now are now no longer...

...and therein is the answer, moderation in everything! As a vegetarian all my life I will simply say this about meat substitute burgers, the best vegeburgers I have had are ones that do not pretend to be a meat burger to satisfy those that are reducing their meat intake. But then I have never...

10 times out equals 10 times in its gota come from somewhere and its a 10 times bigger bomb under the hood, nothings for free. Just saying!

In my early driving days some 60 years ago now I occasionally had to drive in London England and remember my introduction to the two lane roundabout when entering from the north but also remember when some of the stop signs were removed and just a big dot painted in the middle of some...

Quick and FINAL, I have already done the fast and slow recovery ........!

little off topic but I had a cecropia-moth caterpillar here for several weeks since I first spotted him on our pear tree.

Without conversation at meals the food tastes like crap, there is no enjoyment, for my son and I it is one of the few times we sit and have a conversation, he tells me of his day and I tell him of mine (such as it is). Value those moments folks if you have a 'reduced' family ... or even if you dont!

A couple of weeks back I said "roommate who gives hugs and cooks would be nice". Having lost my wife of 40years 5 years ago now I have been trying to find a companion (and I stress 'companion") to help me save my sanity from way too many hours sitting alone with nothing but my own thoughts. I...

Life is so unpredictable and our age seems to have very little to do with when our time to rest will come. 7 years ago I had a major stroke and the doc's brought me back from deaths door after telling the family it was all over. I am told I awoke cussing and my wife of 40 years said 'now I know...

Banana is better .........!

I have a dog who is real good a keeping me active letting him in and out and telling me of visitors in the driveway but he is not much of a conversationalist so a friendly roommate who gives hugs and cooks would be nice! Doggie licks are not quite the same, but he does clean the dishes ......

This comes under the heading of breathing is bad for you........!

Try buying a new car without so many bells n whistles that you need your grandson to teach you how to drive all over again .......!
