It's wonderful that you are living in a protected and happy environment. Falling is dangerous for anyone, especially for those who are up in age. It is hard on the body, and it has taught me to be more observant and careful. I have taken some serious spills down steps, starting in my forties. The payoff for those falls has resulted in body aches and pains that are regularly treated by a chiropractor that started in my fifties. I'd love to live to be 100, but any more falls, and it might be my last. Stay warm and safe and have a wonderful day.

I miss stories of Rib Cage, and I would love to see the story of his sweetheart on the island I forget the details but it was a marvelous story and he was so good to the girl and her family.Buying them a new young Buffalo so they could make money from lensing him to locals with female but no male ...and his girl could stay with her family.

Ribcage was Stonehenge in the Navy and everyone he knew loved his friendliness and his humor and goodtimes.

My oldest son, Mark (Ribcage to Blogit) and lived with me after his wife died, also died at 51 from excessive smoking and alcohol. He loved being involved with Blogit and his favorite was CCT/Chiff-Chaff. He was never actually a Bloggit member, but he loved for me to share his witty stuff on one of my posts. He thought Blogit was the best thing on Computers.

Cute on the valentine's day. Lol I have been reluctant to ask but I was curious to how your son that lived with you is doing. My reluctance is the crazy things that go on in my mind with thoughts that are not the best, just hoping all is well.
