Unfortunately a very good friend of mine for over 50 years was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer last year. They removed a foot of his colon. Yesterday he called me to say it spread to his liver and next week they are cutting out half his liver. I don't think he has long to go. We invited...

She can, and she is not exactly a kid. :biggrin: She also can't stand up which is why she is holding me so tight. Her walker is behind her out of the picture. Or, maybe she still likes me. :love_heart: 52 years married and still going strong. Stronger every year, but that's what happens...

Exciting morning at 4:30. I am taking my neighbor to the hospital this morning for a colonoscopy. I'm glad it is not me. I had my last one last year and now, I am done with that. After you get to a certain age, they figure you're going to croak soon anyway so you don't need them anymore...

On our daughter's roof deck in lower Manhattan.

Thank you Diana. I don't think I have ever been called that, except maybe by my Mother 70 years ago. :biggrin: Especially here with my first girlfriend. I started young. :inlove:

OK, when you stop laughing, I will explain why I think a reverse undergravel filter is the best thing since doorknobs. First, I will explain what a RUGF (reverse undergravel filter is. Right after WW2, the aquarium hobby came into being in earnest. Our troops came home from the war, and they...

Thank you Ezve. I didn't think anyone but Diana followed me but I do turn around often on my beach walks to see if anyone is following me. No one usually is except pretty girls who quickly run the other way :confused: There are occasionally fascinating women who want to "meet" me. A few...

When I got married we moved into my wife's Mothers house for a while because she had a two family house with a tiny apartment just big enough for my fish tank. Then we bought our own house so she didn't move far. My wife and I grew up a few blocks from each other and our Mothers became best...

I get into bed about 10:30 or 11:00, but I get up about 4:30 or 5:00.........And I am retired 20 years :biggrin: I don't know why there aren't any stores open then. I can't do much, so I lie around and invent or build something "quietly". This morning, after my walk, I baked muffins from...

My morning beach walk was uneventful but I did see a woman coming out of the water. An amphipod won't live in that water, and it kills eagles and seagulls, I won't put my toe in it. :sick: But on a good note, I did see a Supermodel who walked past me. :) I almost never see anyone there...

Thank you. I post the pictures that seem to come out good. 5,742 of them come out lousy. :eek2: I like this one and don't even remember how I took it. It is right outside my door. I just like to take pictures. 5

For the almost 9 years I have been living here about 100 yards from the sea I have walked on the beach just about every morning even if like today it is pouring rain, 4 degrees or the beach is covered in 3' of snow. I have always lived fairly close to the sea on Long Island and although I...

Yesterday I went to two LFSs. One clean one with the ridiculously high prices where I only buy food and one filthy one where he practically gives fish away for free. Of course the filthy one is my favorite and is where I buy my fish. (I don't have to worry about stupid diseases or any of that...

It is also raining here today

Nothing exciting on my early morning walk. Kind of a cloudy, overcast day.
