RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Talked with my sister yesterday...it appears that the generation before us is not in good shape.
Brother's mother-in-law passed away.
One of our uncles is on hospice. His wife (our aunt) is going to an oncologist today as they found a mass in her abdomen. Another uncle has now added heart issues to his prostate issues on top of all the issues he has suffered from a severe car accident when he was a teen.
Of course, mom is still going strong...I am fully convinced that evil doesn't die.
I see some grim times in the near future. If the aunt and blood uncle don't make it...another aunt recently died...that will leave three siblings out of the seven on mom's side. UGH

Sorry for what you and your family are going through. All the Best.
Thank you. It's a lot all at once. Sue (my youngest aunt died on July 3rd) and it looks like we are likely to lose more in the near future.

I'm seeing it around me, but it's people in my carving class. Admittedly, most of them were at least 15 years older than I. I don't go anymore, because the guys who run the class treat me like shit. They've chased off a lot of people that I've seen over the years when I was there, so I'm in good company.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Sorry for your troubles, it's always hard to lose family.

Seems like I left out the condolences part.
Sorry to see you're losing all these loved ones.

Thank you. I am pretty distanced from them geographically and some emotionally too. But the aunt I am very close to is taking this really hard. I am trying to be there for her...as it were...being halfway across the country.

Some of my friends had Harley-Davidson motorcycles that they scavenged the engine and transmission assembly off of the tricycles that meter maids used. Those have reverse.
