Michael, a friend of mine was much "better" than me at drinking pints of beer which ultimately did him no good at all, I could never keep up, thankfully, though I'd try.
But drinking pints of spirits however would be suicidal.
I've worked (part time) in a few pubs in my time and enjoyed the social life that went with it, but I could do many things when young that I can't do now, not that I actually want to do some of them any more even if I could.
If an eternity of time actually did spread out before me, having already experienced everything perhaps many times over, that would be ghastly imo. I'd much prefer that after this life was done we simply returned to how it was before we existed, who knows we might return in a different life, brand new, minus all the baggage of this one of course?
It has happened once, why not again?
Maybe come back as a parody of homophobic bigotry and hate whether an intended parody or not?Or another ACW character. :shocked:

Sorry Michael I missed this for some reason.Dear Alwight,
Did you check out my website and book?? Just wondering. It'd be good for you. It feels like the cancer is spreading to my liver. I'm feeling a pain there that comes and goes. That would have cost me another $6,700 for more radiation. I'm glad I didn't do it. I'm going to see my Primary Care Physician on Apr. 29th. I am going to ask him to set me up with a specialist to do a liver biopsy. That's the only way I'll know. BTW, how's the weather on the Isle of Wight?? I hope it's not cloudy and rainy!! I do suppose you have an accent. Too bad I can't talk with you on the phone! I had a very good buddy in Scotland. He had quite an accent. We used to use our mic and headset, plus our webcam, and talk to each other for free on Yahoo. It was great. He joined the armed forces and I haven't heard from him for awhile. He may have a different email address now. Well you take care and hang in there. There I go with making a poem!!
In God's Love,
Michael
We had a mixed day of sunshine and showers, well, it is April.BTW, how's the weather on the Isle of Wight?? I hope it's not cloudy and rainy!!
Unlike Americans, Scottish, Welsh, Northerners... I have no accent at all . lain:I do suppose you have an accent. Too bad I can't talk with you on the phone!
I sometimes think you are much too nice a person for this lousy world Michael. Particularly since I'm having trouble finding a plumber.I had a very good buddy in Scotland. He had quite an accent.

I'd imagine your traveling expenses would be rather more than any plumber here Michael. I have drained tanks and changed elements before in my own property but these days even getting up and down is a struggle. Since the money isn't a great problem I rather a real plumber did it anyway and saved me the effort.Dear Alwight,
Yep, you really need to have a plumber you can trust and who will charge you a reasonable, fair price. And do a great job. I've done it before. My Dad taught me to do a lot of things so I'd know in case I needed it later in my future.
I'm 63 btw Michael.Dear Alwight,
Now I see what you mean! I keep thinking you are in your 30's! Don't feel bad. I'm 58. I used to do all the work on my car 'til I got older. Right now, I need to glue a 1/8 in. rubber disc onto my brake pedal so that my Cruise Control will work again. It's been over a week now. I still have a few boxes I haven't unpacked since I moved in here.
My dad died of cancer about 10 years ago, but something will get you in the end.How's your health doing, otherwise? Are you alwight? Heheehhe. I hope you are. Is your father still with you? If not, why? Cancer sort of runs in our family on my Dad's side. He died of lung, liver and bone cancer a couple years ago.
I'm just slowing down a bit, but you seem to have been very unlucky.They were giving him morphine. I'm not looking forward to it. I did quit smoking, so my lungs should be doing better. But I did smoke for 40 years. Are you a smoker? I still feel like I'm 18 years old. I have a young spirit. I am going to see about getting a disabled plate for my car when I see the Dr. on April 29th. My plantarfaciitis is so bad that I can't walk 1/2 the time. I usually use an electric cart in the grocery store. It's terribly sore and I can't take pain pills for it because it makes my feet worse. I strain them more when I'm on the Percocet, and my feet hurt even more the next day. So I can't even take pain pills for the pain!
People here with your afflictions don't need to worry about money. I know Americans with money can look forward to the best medical care in the world but I prefer our system and the NHS. I take blood pressure pills and statins and pay nothing. ObamaCare anyone?You should tell me more about yourself. Just send me a PM or so. I turned down the radiation therapy a week after I started. The Lord's Orders, otherwise I would do it. I'm thinking He wants to take me soon. I know it sounds unlikely, but it is what it is. I'd probably beat the cancer for a while after spending much money, and then die of cancer or something else five years later. Five years and all that money doesn't sound too good.
Yes the plumber arrived when he said and seems to have done a good job.Well, I'll get going. This is getting lengthy. I'm hoping you all can get a warm shower soon. Keep me up on things!!
Much Love,
Michael
I'm 63 btw Michael.
I'm not sure how a rubber disc affects a cruise control?
My own cruise control is amazing, its radar controlled and slows my speed to the car in front and brakes too if required, I used to think electric windows were cool.

We use Celsius not Fahrenheit here Michael, 21 is nice and pleasant.Dear Alwight,
Ok! I'm cold! I'm going to wear sweatpants tonite and tomorrow. Tomorrow's high will be 74 and the next day will be 78. 78 isn't too bad, but when you have to go out at midnight, it can be cold. I have to take my friend to work around that time. And it depends which hours he's working. He doesn't have a car, so I help him, and he helps me with all of the computer work I need. I've saved a lot of money. But he is more of a friend than a computer guy.
It never does freeze, it doesn't usually get too cold here . Today is sunny and pleasant so far.How's the weather there?? You're surrounded by water. That sounds scary. What do you do when the water freezes over?
I've been to NYC a few times, it gets colder there than here in the winter and hotter in the summer because we get the Gulf Stream, warm water from the Gulf of Mexico. The Isle of Wight unlike its namesake (strangely) in Virginia (IIRC) is an island kept nice and warm by the Gulf Stream.Isn't the Isle of Wight an island? That cold air must blow over your island in the winter. Sounds like Manhattan, NYC. I lived on Manhattan (Island, NYC) and Staten Island (NYC). New York City is divided into five boroughs. One is Manhattan. That's where I lived for a while when I worked at ABC-TV, but then moved to Staten Island and took a boat back and forth to Manhattan. Then there's the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. Harlem is in northern Manhattan. It was an experience.
Cheers Michael. :wave2:Well, will get going for now. Say hello to everyone for me.
God's Best For You,
Michael
We have several different types of ferries to and from several different places including Southampton and Portsmouth, but no bridge or tunnel. As I recall the Staten Island ferry is free but we have to pay.Wow Alwight,
You're weather and climate is a complete surprise. Does London get snow? You're lucky for that Gulf stream. In Staten Island, NYC, we used to have ships that broke up the ice so that the Ferry could still make it back and forth. How do you get from your Isle of Wight to the mainland?? Is there a boat that takes you back and forth, or do you have a long bridge?
My mother now has hot water, mine was alright, but Friday the element in my cooker grill blew. They say things happen in threes since both my mothers heater elements had blown, maybe that's it for now. I've ordered a new grill element for Monday.Hey Buddy, you got hot water now?? The thermostat on my car is stuck open, and I'm not changing it. It means I can't get heat fast enough, but it'll work just fine during the summer, 'cause that's when you don't mind it being stuck open. So that's something else to pay for. One of my roommates helped me put a new thermostat in about 1-2 mos. ago, so I'm not dying to do it again.
I only know those three guys as you do Michael, here on TOL, we don't hang out together. :nono:Hey, have you sent my regards to noguru, gcthomas, and Hedshaker, etc. Hope they are all doing well. You let me know if you have any problems. If you need a good friend, you got one!!
God Bless You With Peace and Caring!!
Michael
