malaise
(298,923 posts)The thing is that given the paternal side of my family's genes it will be highly unlikely that I'll be alive in 17 years. What's worse is that the few who have made it into their 90s don't remember anyone or anything.
Thanks to all the DUers who have made me feel really welcome here from way back when.
DU is the best of the USA on line. :
