I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Thx, guys.
Again, not starting a pity party. My message is simply that life is unpredicable, and not forever. If you have friends or loved ones, even cousins, aunts/uncles around, pick up the phone now and then and give them ring or pay them a visit. You never know. When you get a run like I've had of people checking out, makes you think.
Jag - this was my cousin in Eastland, TX. Had to send him to Abeline to get any sort of sophisticated care. Surprised they didn't go to Dallas, but his heart was a limiting facor. Guess I'll be in Eastland sometime soon. Last time I was anywhere out there was Midland for my buddy's memorial 2 years ago.

My condolences Hat, of course you're right, many times we take things for granted that we should be paying attention to. Just an FYI, I ain't afeared of being your friend as long as you stay in GA........

Just an FYI, I ain't afeared of being your friend as long as you stay in GA........ Well thx! I find that comforting. LOL. I wonder if Texas will put me on a no fly list? I'm considering becoming a big Biden/Harris donor to see if I can get to be buddies with them. At the rate things are going that could save America.

Life is indeed short. We had a big loss this year and I try to count my blessings often and appreciate everything I have. Sorry for your loss Hatari, you have a had a rough year for sure.

I have a cousin and his wife who are prime candidates for covid. They're early 70's. He's obese and a brittle diabetic. She has Parkinsons. They both have to use walkers to move around. If either of them gets it, they'll probably both be dead within weeks. They've been hiding out in the house, almost immobile, for 9 months now. They only leave home for groceries and doctor appointments (LOTS of those).

They seem to come in groups sometimes. '06 was my rough year. I lost a nephew, my father, and my wife that year from various physical causes.
