I do still read the posts on MSF, but not as frequently as I once did. I used to be on here several times a day before GF retired. Then...Ummmm, I better find something to do. Our transition into retired life has mostly been smooth, but I sometimes long for some time to myself. Be careful what you wish for...My best friend's wife died 3 years ago & he's only now coming out of it. GF has been unbelieveably understanding about the bipolar thing. I'm not sure anyone else would put up with the shite I sometimes put others through. I'm off the chain manic sometimes, but the older I get, the depression is a more frequent visitor. Still, no fun to live with...

I just wanted you all to know I'm still around, & know cars are being purchased, and a house, folks are having intestinal problems, @~Christina's presence & perseverance, @Nammu your uncle lived a long life...I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted you to grieve too much. In other words, I'm not writing much, but I'm around.
