No guilt, no dead bodies, and not a bit concerned about life expectancy. Although Trump started making sense to me.

The cafeteria served really good pizza that was cut into large rectangles.
I would use the pizza as scoops to eat the mashed potatoes and down it with the milk.
Then I'd have the Swiss Rolls and Coke for dessert.
Made for some seriously explosive belches.
Youth is a wonderful thing.

6'1" and 180 lbs as a senior.
Didn't get any longer but did put on about 20 lbs.
I'd love to get back to 185, but I'm starting to doubt that'll ever happen.

So glad they figured out your histoplasmosis and were able to treat and cure you. Reading about it, sounds like scary stuff. But wow, bird or bat droppings????? Guess I shouldn't ask. LOL
Hope you'll stay in touch....

Thanks Linda, the house is officially listed but no offers as yet but we are prepared to stay the course so we shall see. I have no clue where I got the histo but I survived it. I'll drop in occasionally but we have been gone since mid June and am missing my friends as well as the lifestyle!

And I'm sure your friends -- and the island as a whole -- miss you as well. Our definite loss! Take good care....

I won't elaborate other than to say I am leaving friends (real friends) and many have gotten emotional with both my wife and myself inflicting emotional distress on both of us . . . . . it is proving to be more of a challenge that either of us expected . . .
I still visit the forum and little has changed . . .hang in everyone!

Belated congrats, Knot! I'm not at all surprised that you got "very close" to your asking price; things are still jumping here on the beach.
You honor us by sharing your feelings about the relocation, and I'm so sorry for the emotional stress this situation has occasioned. Surely your friends wouldn't want their expressions of missing you or whatever to cause you such distress (would they??), but easy for me to say and of course I don't know the whole story.
In any case, it surely can't be easy. Hang in there yourself, kiddo. I fully expect that by this time next year (sooner even better!) you'll be reporting all is well.
And hey, with a tropical entity possibly about to become a potential threat here, you can thank your lucky stars you don't have to deal with THAT any more!!
Thank you Linda . . . . I think the emotional conflict is my own more than my friends to be honest so perhaps I am being a bit dramatic. Having been on the island since 1972 and building this house in 1983 AND serving our community (the island) in a multitude of capacities my roots are deep but the time is neigh and deserves responsible action (get out) I remain troubled but life's experiences tell me I have taken positive action and am prepared to adjust accordingly. We will have some months of before the transition is complete but I am taking this one step at a time and it will be fine in the end. And yes it is a relief to not fret over tropical disturbances anymore . . . . my maintenance man caught a 4 lb flounder off my dock yesterday . . . . . grrrrrr oh yea things I will miss.
All the best in your new home,
LL
