Gary, I remember you. You posted some time back when you were in the same situation. You made enough of an impression on me that I remember you and your situation. My point Gary is that you have a knack for being able to reach out and communicate with folks, so why not reach out and do as much there? Get outside and get some fresh air, meet folks, assuming that you're able bodied and can get out to do so. You didn't say whether you are or not, and you didn't say the last time either. Sure everyone here wishes you the best and some, most, or even all will include you in your prayers. But, it would be nice to know a little bit about you, what situation has you tied up in Texas without a family, or your family? Are you able bodied and able to get out and about to get some fresh air for your thoughts and to meet folks?

Knew this elderly lady once years back that had become a widow. Not good anytime, especially at her age after having that life long partner pass on and leave her alone. We talked awhile, and sure she was depressed. Real depressed. I told her that one morning I happened into a McDonalds and ran into several coffee clutching elders, retired elders that met there daily I supposed. I told her about them and suggested that some morning she stop up for coffee, orange juice, something, anything. Get out of that house, get some fresh air. She did. I ran into again, joyous as can be. She went up and happened upon them folks, one plesantry led to another and another, and a "Hey, why don't you sit down and talk...". Next thing you know, coffee every morning with the coffee clutchers, then networking with them, through them meeting other folks, and out and about. Didn't replace her husband, but sure helped. How do I know it worked? Same thing happened to another elderly lady that I knew...her partner passed, left her alone in this big ol' world at her age, extremely depressed. I told her about the other, the other about her, the other dragged her out and up to the coffee clutchers, and networked right on about life.

Good luck Gary. Go get yourself a cup of coffee or orange juice some morning if you can. If you can't, tell us why. It'll make it easier for us to understand you, which will help you understand some of us better. Us works better when us is a group.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start ... [Read Article]
