Rick, I think everyone knows my demeanor here, after 10 years or so, I don't or I refrain from arguing with anyone as best I can, I find it disrespectful to the forum and others here, nor do I disagree on much, if I offend anyone on this though, I don't actually care so much to argue it, but this is a serious problem today, people could do a lot better and live a higher quality of life than they do, if they chose not to, who really cares, well except about the increases in costs and availability of health care, is that fair to those who do the extra work and make an attempt to do things to stay healthy? Something is going to get everyone of us, no need to worry about that, but why push the envelope ?

You are absolutely right and people do as they wish, it is their right, don't think for a minute anyone is above or better than anyone else, I do not, its an observation and a sad one at that. A wise person takes care of themselves, that is my point, people are going to do as they wish, and have the right to do so. My point is just an observation, its sad to see people just take no regard to their own well being. I don't need to be reminded of your service, or anyone elses none the same, but by the way, thank you and all that do now and have ! I did 4 years of the same mind you, most of my family has too starting in WWI shortly after arriving here, all the way through WWII, Korea and Vietnam. We don't brag about our service and the thankfulness apparently felt owed by others who did not as you see it, it has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I think you have the wrong impression of me, nor do I really care to explain myself to someone who thinks I owe them something because they served this country just like you, myself and how many others who say or ask nothing for having done so. Our rights are protected today and were then, all should be thankful for what we have and feel free, to live in peace as they desire, but please have some respect for yourself no matter how you do it.

I think we should all be grateful to those were able to serve or gladly would have, honor those who gave all .... end of subject.

I do the same as you, I've raised vegetables since my grandad showed me how to plant, I have raised and butchered animals in the past, I don't care for the yuppy, soy life myself, (whatever that is) preference is self sustenance where ever possible. This was a rural area, I've lived here long enough to see that change, they can, I don't, you will smell my manure, observe my obesity if that were the case, be appalled etc., eat my dust, its my right being ag zoned and as a citizen. I busted my @ss since I was a kid, and like you, I can't do as much as I did then, I take more time to rest when needed, per doctors orders, sadly enough I'm younger than you, and the problems have already started, this is what happens with hard labor intense work in addition to building a career, it takes its toll. That and not taking care of yourself, which I highly suggest. Feeding from the trough of mass produced, highly processed foods, and so many other things we know is just bad for us, we have plenty of alternatives, yet so many just don't care, have at it, drink like a fish, smoke like a feign, don't exercise, I knew a guy like that, he was not much older than you now, lost both his feet, legs to diabetes, kidneys too, myself and another had to lift him out of bed into gurney, into med transportation and take him to dialysis on a regular basis, he lived his final years in a rotten place that was foul with odors, so many others like him and rarely got visits from his family, he lived the good life, no regard for his health, had over 8 hundred series fords in his time, all he had left was a picture and a model on a stand. Those were his last years, misery on top of misery.

The overall point is take care of yourself as best you can, if everyone paid a little more respect to themselves, they would be happier, healthier and wiser and it would help our health care system or providers, its not the cure all by any means.

Now, guess what, time for some vension dogs and some cold beer LOL been a long hot sweaty day if you were my neighbor I would insist we settle this over same, what say you pal LOL ???

You take care now buddy !

PS - I just knew some one was going to get riled about this post, had to be you didn't it LOL !!!!
