- I am a 74 year old Computer nut,
I run on an Dell HT 3.0Ghz, Intel Pentium 4 with a DSL High Speed connection, an 16x DVD+/-RW, an CanonScan
Lide 30 Scanner and I use a LogiTech QuickCam Orbit and a 80 Gig external backup Disk.
I arrived here in Canada in 1951 from Germany, I have worked in Copper Mines for 2 years in BC, after that I came to Toronto and have
been happy and single ever since.
I have worked in various capacities here in Toronto Canada, the last one as a Property Manager, I finally had to
quit because I got what they call "Guillain Barre Syndrome" in 1958, I run around in a 3-wheeled Scooter and here at home I am now on a Walker as well
since Canes will not longer do for me, I simply can't keep my balance, gee it's nice to be Drunk when you haven't had anything to drink.
I normally don't go out, no Bars, no Drugs, no Restaurants or Movies and I don't like sports either, it is similar to MS, it will affect all
extremities and the brain as well, that is one reason I am busy on this Computer, it forces me to think logically, I had 2 Bypass Operations, I had about
10 or 12 minor strokes, since 1981, I quit all physical contact with Females, now it doesn't bother me too much. I had an operation on my Prostrate
and that killed my sexlife altogether; so what choice did I have??? I had a great Mom, she brought me up the right way, loving and caring and tought me
every thing I know and she passed on because of of Lung Cancer from smoking.
My Parents passed away in 1973 and even my Cat that I had for 14 years passed away in 1997 and I wonder if my smoking helped
her to pass on??? that nearly did me in, so now I found a wonderful woman in June of 1998, I was happy then...
I stopped smoking after my Wife died, she smoked and I simply could not persuade her to quit, now that she's gone I
don't seem to have any problems, so second hand smoke had a lot to do with it and I couldnt stop because she was smoking,
I simply could not break the habit.., after she died, I had the gumption to finally to put a stop to it...
People, be careful, the one that you kill is not neccessarely Yourself, how about your Children or worse you never know where or
when it will hit home, so much for second hand smoke, it can kill people around you ...
This is called "How it works"
In each of you, I see a friend, one whose friendship knows no end, and so, just for today, I'll try to be to others --- what you are to me.
You stopped, and turned, and took me by the hand, and steadied me --- until I could stand.
And then, until I walked alone --- let go of my fingers, one by one, you did not say to me, "do this," "be thus." you simply said, quite simple,
"walk with us."
I tried --- and when I lifted up my eyes, could see the same vision which had made you free.
We walk together now --- a pleasant band which waits for me, if I could fill my hand.
With trembling fingers of one, whose spirit must also break --- or bend, and teach him softly what it means to have a frind.
Just for today I will see let others see what each of you has done for me... ((( Author unknown )))
This is what I see in each one of you people that come here to visit, please take the above to heart, I know from personal experience it works.
My Wife died July 13, 2001 of congestive Heart failure,
may the good Lord take good care of her I sure miss her...
