    Default "Death's a piece of 5hit, when you look at it" - Eric Idle

    "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light! " Dylan Thomas

    I also like that partyanimal song 'sleep when you're dead', played recently at a young bloke's funeral.

    One of the North American indian tribes believed that when an old person dies it makes room for another baby.

    I simply would like a good healthy innings, and to see the two nippers established and happy. Hopefully, I am only half-way!

    Sort of been there, don't want to go back so I shan't. So there!
    Got heart failure couple of years ago . Not too bad so a defibrillator was put in as I had irregular heartbeat.
    Then it hit the fan. Blood poisoning, six months in hospital. Heart affected by said Blood poisoning. Open you up sir and do a small service job. New valve, regrind the other and oh yes a puncture to fix. Rip out defibrillator and stick in a nice new pacemaker defibrillator combination. Lost all muscle ton, even vocal chords were so slack I lost my voice.
    Out of hospital pat on the head and a dog biscuit. There's a good boy.

    Real point of all above is to say nil desperandum (don't let the bastards grind you down.
    If you've got life enjoy it and don't worry about tomorrow. Just work on fitness and don't forget the mind. Altzheimers can be fought off by exercising the mind as well (nearly forgot that one) Just bought a new yacht and off to Qld today to sail it for three months up the coast. I've got a lot of my strength back and fought off the well intentioned friends who wanted to treat me like an invalid.

    What I want as my epitaph is R.I.P. Return if possible.
    Perhaps one day I''ll wake up in the morning and find I died in the night.

    Hmm... Ive never really thought if I was afraid of death itself. I'd prefer it not be real painful.
    Am I afraid of it.. hmm... probably. But I intend to not think about it and just LIVE!!!! Why waste the time your given to live worrying about it ending?
