The time has come for me to go fly kites in the park, Gypsy is right and I am soon to be no more.
Am concerned for my animals and pray I secure get power of attorney to a dear friend who will
care for them for me. She knows their history and there stories.
Have some amazing genetics and some nice gear here that I would love to share with anyone who
is near Van Nuys. Send me a pm, and we will see what we can do.
Hope that I am able so say good bye to the many people here who have been so good to me.
Have been treated like family by some here...
You have made life so wonderful for me, and I have wanted for nothing, thank and bless you.

stick with us as long as you can do so comfortably, Gry. you will be sorely missed. even on the rare occasions that we disagreed, i could find no fault in your thought processes. coming to a different conclusion when looking at the same set of facts is human; but you and I were always dealing from the same facts instead of making "alternative" ones up from scrap & horseshit. if there is anything you want/need done, let us know...:badday:

Our attitudes come from within, the world in which we live was shaped by others.
If these look like the best of times to you, then you see a very different world than do I.
Perspective is relative, to one's experience in life, and we are all unique in that respect.
Will ask to if you would consider backing off a bit here, I will never be able give
what you wish, and my fire is burning low.

We do have a part of our history which has always been little spoken of.
That history is fearsome and terrible.
When the cancer got me, all that I could do for a long time, was read.
This was the subject matter which I wanted to know far more about.
Below is the website of a man who spent time in DC the same time
I was there. His perspective is unique beyond unique.
Please do examine his CV thoroughly. I found it amazing.
He has taught a half dozen classes on how things work.
I have gone through each of them several times, and just
as has often been the case for me, I am able to catch more detail
the second time around which had escaped me in the initial read.
If one has an interest in some of our darkest history, this man teaches it.
As openly honestly, and directly, as I have ever heard anyone
do so.

You will be missed my friend, you've made a positive contribution to my life and I believe many others. I'm glad I got the chance to converse with you and learn from your postings.

Hi there Brother Nature,
I have enjoyed the time that we have been able to spend on various subjects over the years, and would see it continue if possible.
Been real lucky, and have found good Drs, who treat me great, just finished up a 2 month series of meds for Hep C, Mavyret it was.
Knocked my ass for a loop, and the bloodwork they do shows, everything is real low.
Drs explained to me to stay well masked and avoid contact the the extent I can, as my immune system is not at it's best.
Was exposed to several people unexpectedly on Monday, by Wednesday, I felt like crap and I and I think that was when
I last ate.Have lots of home tests, being doing one a day since Tuesday, and they have all been negative fortunately.
Thursday I just felt cruddy, and did not want to eat anything, but I was able to keep pushing fluids OK.
Friday morning 5:30, woke with pain, the likes of which I am hard pressed to describe effectively.
The old nightmare were I would dream that I could not move,That was upon me, and I hurt so much that it was unreal,
I was able only to raise my head a little, I could move my arms and hands, but nothing was right. My legs were all twisted and weird.
They hurt so bad, that it was unreal, and I was angry. Was at that point, everything let go, and at that point, I went from angry to real sad that I
was ill prepared to go.
Seen others go at that time in the day, with similar happening both before and after they slipped away.
I thought that was what was happening with me.
In the time since, I have pushed food and fluids as much as I can, and have used a walker to get between tub and sofa.
I have never felt this weak before, it is so hard to get my legs to work right.
Was able to walk about a 100 yards or so with a cane today.
What I do know for sure, is that I have to get in a little better condition before I can go see the medical
people. If I go in there in this shape, they will not let me out. Was told that that hospitals and jails are not
where one should pass.

I am really sorry to read some of your posts in the last couple of pages.

I have not been around speakers corner much over the last few weeks, however I always make a bee line to your posts, and this thread. You always have an interesting link, and/or a thoughtful humane perspective. As others have said, you will be sorely missed.

Thank you so much for your contributions. Much love.

Hi Buzz, not real sure exactly what is or might be appropriate at this point.
I feel very fortunate to be where I am right now.
Have to say that I have been more than impressed with the care
that has been offered and provided to me here.
Had me plugged into a program where a nurse
would come by about once a week to check up on me.
Not sure why, but it was discontinued a few months back,
I would like to see if I could get that going again.

My wife used to be a MD/MPH for uncle sam and then for the county.
She explained to me how end of life care can get away from one.
Terrified to present myself right now, I am too damned feeble
they will not let me go home, they will keep me in.
Have to get more strength back before I will be comfortable with
a face to face with medial authorities-
Am shovelling food down, and making myself get up and walk again.
I hurt like hell, and feel like I am have no energy,
but I long as I have feel will, and can make my body do, I will try to walk more
and get some more strength back.

The spot where this did happen to me is the same location where
my spouse left me, and this is the most comfortable place for me.
Feel real fortunate that I have several options available to me that can
help keep me here at home, but am real mindful that there are
private operators that offer Drs one hell of a kickback for referring
to a "skilled nursing facility" to help you get back on your feet".
That can go South on someone real quickly if one does not have
an effective advocate - which I am a little short on at the moment.
More steady on my feet than I was, and am making myself
walk more each day, am pushing myself as much as I can to
get myself in good enough shape to be able to go see the medical
people without being terrified they will not let me go back home.

"In parliament Jagmeet Singh states 1 in 4 Canadians in this country are going hungry because they can't afford grocery bills. He blames rampant corporate greed as part of that inflation and proposes to tax excess profits.

The response is wild laughter from conservatives."

Very interesting content here, the history is something else.
