Don,

 DL> Having been alone for decades...this never bothered me. What surprised
 DL> me was when co-workers/friends came to visit me.

  What was strange is that before I got married, I was happy being single.
Then, when I got married over 17 years ago, I was happy. But, after being
a widower over 13 years, while I'm busier than I was when I was married,
some days, it does get awfully lonely. At this stage of life, so many
folks have "too much baggage and drama" to deal with...and I don't want,
or need that.

 DL> Good to hear!

  I'm hoping to get the one night stay written off. Since I basically
have no family locally (my brother is in worse physical shape than I
am, and I nearly suffocate around him, as he smokes and drinks), and 
all my friends work, and have families, it's difficult to get a ride
to and from the facility, but impossible to get someone to stay with
me overnight at the house. Both parents are dead and gone now.

 DL> The last 1 you mentioned was something else men should be tested for as
 DL> well.

  I know a male ham radio operator who is a breast cancer survivor. 
While not as common as breast cancer in women, it does occur in men.

 DL> Had friends with this & it's worse. My kidney stones the 1st time would
 DL> beat both of these.

  One woman told me that she would rather have quintuplets (5 at once),
in hard labor, with no anesthesia or epidural...than 1 kidney stone.
That pretty much sums it up.

  Another woman told me "If we women can pass a kid, you men can pass
a kidney stone". I told her "But, unlike the female cervix, the male
penis can NOT dialate".

 DS> "Not quite". When she talked to her Mom (who's black, and her Dad is
 DS> white...but they're both a couple of nuts <G>), she said "I'll bet you
 DS> didn't think you had a son that looked like him!!" <BG>.

 DL> ;)

  When talking to her Mom nowadays, and I make a real bad pun, etc.,
I'm told "Go to your room!!" <BG>.

Daryl

.... Don't raise the bar!! It's too hard to get the drinks!!
