emptychair @Shiva49 My own father also had a large book collection, but he used to write, and underline, all through them, so we could not sell them, and these days, there is a lack of secondhand bookshops, who can buy them too. We had to throw most of them out too. A...

emptychair @Shiva49 Loneliness is why a lot of old people have pets too, but the with the price of vet services, and pet medications now, they are priced right out of so doing these days. The other day, we took the dog to the vet, and it cost $500, just to have some...

emptychair @Shiva49 Mu Uncle had another 5 fairly hard years of life on dialysis, before his body eventually gave out, and he died. I think, he thought it was worth it, as he got to meet his great grandchildren then, too.

emptychair @Shiva49 And yet, just a hundred years ago, Stephen Hawking would have died young, but with modern machines, he lived a full length life. So, we should try to do all we can, at times, and at other times, let what happens, happen.

emptychair @Shiva49 I have been wary of prayer at times, as sometimes, it is a sort of interference to someone else's path. Perhaps, they are meant to die young through cancer, and our prayers only prolong their agony. We can provide a listening ear, and guidance, to...
