These are really hard times for some older people.

40. That sounds great Frances

My aunt is almost 78 and very active. She still cuts the grass of her huge lawn. That lawn dates to the late 1930s when my grandfather built the home. The other day my aunt asked me to help her pick out paint for a small addition she recently had constructed. When I told her when I was available to paint she scoffed at me. "I'm going to do it. You sleep too late." Ha ha. Okay.

I remember you were one of the first posters who greeted me when I joined this site in 2002. Much appreciated. But you weren't thrilled with my gambling background. No apologies on that one. Part of the handicapping emphasis led to Apple stock. I remember arguing in favor of Apple stock here in 2002 and 2003 while many others particularly in The Lounge were mocking the company as nothing but overpriced hardware. It's not looking good for them.
