dutch john Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I thank all of you who have... or will... wish me a HappyBirthday... Now number 78 (or 39x2). But remember"old age" is always(!) defined as being 10-years older thanyou are...So... I wish all of you that are now 88 or more... may youcontinue on... heathful and enjoying the goodstuff. This toinclude those of you that have had birthday 98 or more. I celebrated by going to the dentist (non emergency, by appointment made before Christmas.) Another root-canal... But: Happy I be to be in health to goand have one done. Also Happy I be (since I no longerhave dental insurance) to be able to pay for it. Betteryet: Happy I be to still have teeth savable by having a root canal.AND THE BEST: MOST HAPPY I BE... To have friends who wish me a happy birthday... (Also I will add: I understand I will become a great-grandfather again... This will our forth one... "when" I have no details; I first heard about thisfrom our oldest great-granddaughter, Bella, now five years old.)One thing I have learned over the years... both good andbad times... Keep the Faith... Be positive... do not agonizeover small matters... I now have a long and winding back trail... As I continuedown my front trail, I plan to more frequently stop and small the flowers along the path... I'm in no rush to reach my final destination.

It's just typed pages bound together. Never dealt with a nicer guy/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had/have about the only copy of Vol 2... I have always felt bad that it cost so much... having the pages printed at Staples... and poor quality... THANK YOU for being so nice! Hammer... You will be safe with me... as long as you know how to get thereand back... do you still have my e-mail address?... send me a shout!... I hadhoped to see you at he Costa Mesa GPAA gold show...Rattlesnake... Give us a "Woody" report... he will be about 94 April??? AlsoI hope you and "BL" have made contact.Seeker... Young fella... You are in my thoughts... Mike C... thanks for giving Steve your attention regarding the "bigfoot." He really was glad to find one... paleface... thank you... I'm winding down... just a few short articles andhopefully(?!) a small booklet on meteorites.Bandana... "Lunker Hill" ... Great memories... hendo... all I need to do is smell the cork... My last beer was years agowith Pieter H... He bought... I was too cheap to buy, grin. Great fellowship...Maybe Mel Gibson will buy? Reno Chris.... referring to my earlier post (above) the root canal becameinfected... my voice went... I enjoyed meeting you and your lovely "misses." To All... Grubstake, Sandtrap, Rob... and the others I have not personally mentioned as this thread just goes back the last ten posts... and my memory is slipping:Gold comes in many forms... Keep the faith... I once told a few years ago (the late) Michael Paul Henson who was then a columnist for Lost Treasure... I said; [T]he olderI get the bolder I get." His response to me: "I like your nerve Straight." I hope I do not get "out of line." I learn more and more from ALL of you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
