    LOL Julie. My first thought was why is Terry so excited about a sale taking place that is 6 months away. Then it dawned on me that Terry has written it the proper way. As Roy constantly reminds me, the American's basterdised the English language. LOL

    If they're as bad as mine were 1 month wouldn't make much difference, hope they don't delay it much longer mate, the difference is phenomenal.

    Now you can spend your time on what’s really important: Your mate, akaqa, yourself, extended family, and hobbies.  Enjoy and all the luck in the world……….

    Thanks Sunny, i intend to work on it ..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

    When I retired I thought my life would be much easier since I did not have to show up at work nearly every day. But I soon learned that my body was loosing mussel as I gained weight from snacking all day on the computer. My blood pressure was going up and my ability to walk around was less and less motivated. My doctor flatly said I should exercise more, prescribed a pill to reduce the water in my system and had a blood test done. The water pill made me urinate frequently so I had to drink a lot more water that if I did not drink my balancing system would stop working and it was nearly impossible to walk around without falling down. Lots of water needed every day and pretty soon I was getting backaches that my doctor said were kidney stones from all the water I had to drink. He prescribed pills and told me if that keeps-up I may have to get surgery to get the kidney stones removed. I studied all I could on the subject and after a while I decided to drink distilled water rather than tap water with all of its chemicals and minerals that contributed to the stones that my kidneys were producing. I haven't had any more problems with kidney stones but my blood pressure stayed high. So I looked for ways to control my blood pressure. My doctors tried a array of medications that did not work very well. I was feeling tired a lot and started exercising more which seemed to help a little. A friend suggested an herbal supplement..Rhodiola Rosea...so I ordered a bottle of that which greatly benefited my mood and with exercise, brought my blood pressure down to safe levels.


    Living past the socially expected D-DAY is a challenge that many choose to take on by laying down and simply dying. But I would rather do anything I can to prolong my physical life as long as possible. I have no fear of death which is why I seek to maximize my life further and further .

    I still enjoy a wee drink now and again, as long as I still wake up of a morning I know I can carry on doing!

    terryfossil 1

    Wonderful news, Terry, and something you've been looking forward to for quite awhile. You are probably getting settled in as I write this "Congratulations, and may you and Mrs. enjoy many happy adventures and your new home for decades!"
