  I'll be 72 next week but am still in good health, I hope.

  WOW. Look at you! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!!!

  There are a lot of people younger than you that still do not know how to use a computer!

  You have so much to be grateful for.

  1. still having a sharp mind and learning new things.

  2. being able to move your fingers to type and not totally crippled by arthritis or some other disablement.

  3. being able to SEE the screen. ( so many loose sight as they get older)

  4. the LUXURY of having the time to be at your computer and not having to work all the time like when you were younger.

  5. the time to stop and enjoy your surroundings and appreciate the Creation around you. Not having to live life in a hurry.

  6. There is more...but I have to stop...because I have to live life in a hurry and must move on now.....

  I'm sorry about your cousin, Ken. It's never easy dealing with death and dying, but something we all face from time to time. I'm 61-years old, and have lost many friends and family, and the older we are, the more we'll experience this. The human condition is something we all share, and experience. Living in the real world means we can love and value others in an honest setting--which includes having friends that you've never seen who care.
  
  Much love to you, Ken.

  Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit

  Hiya friend. Don't you know that 70 is the new 50? It's true. So much to do. We get to understand that we will all get a turn at death, so, love life, hell hump it madly!

  You know what I mean. Glad you're here.

  Oh, that this too too solid flesh sould melt fall and crumble into a dew...or that the almighty had not set his cannon against self slaughter....oh how weary stale, flat and unprofitiable are all the meanings of this world..

  Or.... is it better to suffer the sling and arrows of life's... screw all that... life is beauutiful... I love life... I think of the love I've made, the grunting and "sweeting under this weary life" an say... screw that.... I'm here, in this space and time... thank God that I've made love to some beautiful ladies...and yet better still... I;ve suffered... one would be no good without the other...

  Sorry you friend is suffering, but did he live?
