[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 704073, member: 20487"] Somewhere: Well, I just got back to see your post and am glad to hear from you. I do have fun, no doubt. As for my in 10 years I will only be 76, a technicality but still want to get as much time as possible lol. And yes he has not yet in his 48 years been real well.
