No
Well then good for you! Most folks find it difficult, when they arrive at the consequences of decisions made in their youth finally arrive. For me it is motorcycles, and a compression fracture of the spine. Don't regret the consequences of falling in love with the things at first even now when it acts up.
Quote from: REMy circumstances now are the result of an amputated leg and a broken neck. They have nothing to do with the fun I had when I was young (and middle aged). Without the disabilities, I'd be quite happy living on my SS & Pension. I'd probably be sailing the Sloop JohnB around the Society Islands.I am familiar. Accidents along the way, hiccups in the normal chain of events are one thing. Compression fractures of the spine, amputations, etc etc. How was the Sloop JohnB going to work out on SS and a pension? Heck, how were DOCKING fees going to work out with just those?
