Hi Elwood, another good positive entry.

I am reminded however of a quote from the great "Mark Twain"...
"The only thing sadder than a young pessimist, is an old optimist."
I never figured out whether that was the result of wisdom or cynicism.
On the other hand, people who are overly optimistic are usually out of
touch with reality or just plain have their heads up their asses, wh**ever.

I keep telling my wife that the day I say "I'm too old to do that anymore", I am - so I don't say it. Now, SHE says that to me all the time " you're too old to do that ", but like most of her good advice - I ignore it. She's also fond of saying " you're going to k**l yourself like that someday", to which I reply " I hope so " - because I'd rather die doing what I WANT to do, than die doing what others say I OUGHT to be doing.

It don't take no effort at all to die in bed and like I tell all my Doctors and all my wives - I ain't going out like that. I asked my wife to put my method of death on my tombstone, such as "he fell off the roof", "he drowned in a ditch he was trying to clear", or "he blew himself up making another rocket", or any of the many other things folks think I shouldn't be doing because " they're dangerous".

I keep trying to tell them, I'm as likely to die trying to get on or out of the bed, or tripping over one of the pets, but I REFUSE to die IN the bed - unless I died and fell on it.

I see that you have a new 'pic' This one brings to mind a wacky dream after too much 'medicinal compound' I like the original better, so which is the real you?, Now I give you my thought of the day. " along life's journeys you will have a few real friends and alas a few real enemies. The ones you worry about are your " frienemenies
