Often wonder how you guys manage with the knees. My knees are shot. I can get down to do things but the hard part is getting up. No longer have any leg strength.

My knees are fine, it's my back that hurts most of the time.

I know what you mean. I used to have to stay home from work quite often when my lower back went out. All that sitting ect then standing on concrete floors all day. What I have found is that I need to always do the same routine each day. I do a hamstring stretch, then general stretching, then on my hands and knees do a rocking motion forward and backwards, then as many pushup's as I can do at one time, then go for a walk after all after brunch. Also lying in bed too much makes it go bad. The only thing that fouls me up is when I start doing work around the house, garage ect that involves a punch of bending and crawling and reaching. I am trying to send the truck to the mechanic who has a hoist rather than crawl under it in the driveway.

It works both ways - I guess the average is 50-50 one way or the other. Life goes on, and we can remember the good times.

almost 80% of divorces started by women.

I started the divorce, but only because my ex wouldn't. I couldn't figure out why since he was the one who "found" someone after 30+ years. In hind site there was one main reason he wouldn't do it:
  1. Because it would make him look like the bad guy to our friends. Since I started the divorce (after waiting for him to do so, but he "didn't have time"), that meant he could claim that I was the one that left. There was a total reason he wanted to "keep our private life private - no one needs to know our business".
Had a 2 friends that went thru pretty much the same scenario: Their ex'es were cheating but they wanted the appearance that they were not the ones at fault.

I have a community mail box slot. I make sure to check it every weekend. I also leave a sharpy in there
as the last person who owned this house decided to save money and not have his mail forwarded.

It doesn't cost a single time to submit a change of address. Likely the guy decided to just inform the companies he wants to hear from, and let the rest just go to you. It's an effective way to dodge a bunch of junk mail. Selfish, but effective.

I believe that there is a cost for it in Canada.

No, actually here with Canada Post mail forwarding is a product they offer for sale. We did it when we moved from BC to Ontario. These people only moved a mile away and didn't give a S***. I keep a sharpie pen in the mailbox and then his stuff goes in the outgoing slot. It's been awhile now, so there is not much mail anyway. I signed up for no junk mail.
