There is little one can do to prep for it, successfully. You prep, because to not do so is suicidal, but don't delude yourself into thinking it is long term. Shoot for that, but don't expect it.

Suddenly you are not at the mercy of the on-time delivery system and all it's shortfalls. <br /><br />Apply this to every problem and you are solving problems and don't live in fear. <br /><br /><br />I've always been a person that finds solutions and then did them. It gives me control of my future more then most people. <br /><br />We all are part of the system, but the more you operate at the edge or just outside of the system the better off you will be. <br /><br />Chuck FindlayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-64741251985563924942016-04-01T08:57:42.981-07:002016-04-01T08:57:42.981-07:00How to die.

While you hear of plenty of people living into their upper 80's, and sometimes even 90's, it's probably bad policy for an individual to think that they will be one of the lucky ones.<br /> <br />Look at Patty Duke, only 69? I remember watching the Patty Duke show (Repeats, I'm the same age as you) when she just a teenager. I then heard just last night that actress Margaret Blye died at age 73 (Some of you may not know the name, but she was in Hombre with Paul Newman and the original Italian Job).<br /> <br />Yep, count every day that you awaken and thank your lucky stars.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-27195854339892686032016-03-31T12:19:50.707-07:002016-03-31T12:19:50.707-07:00All that is needed is some appropriate background ...All that is needed is some appropriate background music.
