    My GF recently ended our relationship of seven years for unknown reasons.

    This years Christmas day will be the 10th anniversary of my wife’s passing and I’ll probably be alone for the first time since then.

    My house needs some work, but with the coming election and economic uncertainty, don’t dare spend the money now.

    My life has never been so gloomy and uncertain as it is right now.

    I didn’t say that… I’ve been watching my wife slowly be consumed by several chronic illnesses for the past year, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If a Giant Meteor killed us all today, neither the wife nor I would be sad about it.
    No it was my take I may have failed in the edit department. Sorry things have been less than optimal for you.

    Oh, gotcha. I’m glad some of us are able to keep a positive attitude. Right now, I’m pretty salty and over life in most aspects. I’m not a danger to myself or others, just kind of apathetic. It’s been years of bad luck and suffering that doesn’t seem to have an end in sight, so we’d welcome an end to it if God wills it. If not, then I guess we just keep trying to stay alive for some weird and twisted reason. :dunno:

    The older I get the more I realize that we wind up where we’re supposed to be, something keeps nudging us right and we keep turning left and eventually we wind up in the right place. Keep the faith friend and keep looking up.

    I've had plenty to complain about since 2022. But I've never been one to be down or depressed. I give thanks for every day and look for something constructive to do with each. I probably got the drive and determination from my mother. Nearly deaf and poor as can be since childhood; my dad didn't always make things easy for her but she somehow always made something good out of what she was given.

    To answer the OP's question, I still don't know. That one is out of my hands.

    Last Christmas I found out the Cancer was back, oh wait, Different Cancer. Got a $13,500 Shot to keep it at bay. Shot was on a 3 month Schedule. Numbers went down so much no Shot in March or June. Check up last week Numbers going back up but Doc said wait till December for the next Shot. The Cure is much harder on me than the Disease. I'll Pray for each and every one of you that are facing these Trials and Tribulations right now. My 75th Birthday is next week, every morning God wakes me up is the start of a good day.

    It appears it’s time to introduce pineapple pizza into this thread.

    had a tough 1.5yr myself, and have experienced worse than things I imagined would be my limit. feels surreal, really. I empathize with some of y’all’s pain, and am humbled by others.

    but I also can’t ignore the good things, which keep me going. I’m privileged and have much to appreciate.

    .. alright, I’m gonna go add some wood to the campfire….

    Don't forget, old age is a privilege denied to many. My MIL died in her sleep at 49...
    Amen. I ride with the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders. We helped escort a forever young man home today. Clossie Brown was a 36 year old PFC in the US Army when he was KIA in France during WWII in 1945.

    He had been MIA (presumed dead) for 79 years... until just recently when a DNA match was made that was used to ID his remains. Prior to this, for decades, he was buried in a grave marked "unknown".

    His plane landed today at Indianapolis, and I (along with over 100 other riders) escorted him home to Frankfort, where he will be laid to rest on Tuesday. Even got to meet some of his family, including a young Marine SSG & Purple Heart recipient who was there all decked out in his blues to welcome his great grandpa home.

    Today... was a good day.

    The bikes prior to the plane landing.

    Welcome home brother.

    Where's Jim Neighbors when you need him? "Back home again... in Indiana..."
    RIP.
