Sorry I Am Alive.
Doggerel Dave said:

Who told you that? Wouldn\'t take it personally. There\'s a whole cohort of baby boomers about to drop off the twig with you when you are ready. In the meantime you will require more medication and surgery (unless you are extremely lucky) before you pop off.
The answer is not to personalise the issue (just who told you that?) But for a halfway decent government to provide extra care or a simple way to check out when you have had enough.

orchidee said:

Us two know - we\'re millions of years old. Was there NHS 10 million years BC?
Yes, it\'s a bit inconvenient still being alive sometimes - for others, not for us. Doh!

MendedFences27 said:

With a bit of music no doubt. I used to hate mowing. Mine was a lot of uphill/downhill. Amazed by the first- pull start. Here\'s wishing you a green lawn. Don\'t overdo it. - Phil A.

Sculpture Of Happiness.
MendedFences27 said:

Remove all the badness and leave only the good. I have often marveled at the skill of sculptors. To take a large stone and chip away at it to create a piece of beauty. \"How does he do it.\" Indeed! - Phil A.

My Lord!!! Such a precise and wonderfully written poem. This metaphor is so exact, and I applaud you for thinking up such a vivid image to illustrate the inner beauty each being possesses.

Sculpture Of Happiness.
L. B. Mek said:

lovely metaphor, indeed
happiness, is a mindset and a choice
not a lottery ticket or happenstance
again, wonderful wisdom Andy
thank you!

Knowledge And Wisdom.
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
these words hit home with me, Andy
with each passing day, i fear
the value of articulation is diminished
from our so called leaders, to the people we come across
it\'s like, \'well spoken\'
is fast becoming an archaic trait...
how sad

\"Wisdom\" is \"knowledge\" under control. Sometimes the smartest thing one can do is to not say anything. Wise words, Andy. - Phil A.

True Andy, the words may be the right notes but the tempo makes all the difference.

Dodgy Dogs.

I just wonder if the dogs had a choice, what they would like to be called? Once again a witty and enjoyable write dear friend, keep \'em coming.

Dodgy Dogs.
Michael Edwards said:

Following a marriage break up my eldest son and his ex-wife are having problems looking after their family pooch. I have been looking after her for a few weeks and I think they are hoping I will take her on full time. Well truth to tell I\'ve fallen in love with her - a miniature dachsund called Maybel - shes an absolute delight and I love her company so I rather think her fate is sealed. And not a cross gene pool in her wee body.

Dodgy Dogs.
Neville said:

This clearly demonstrates the fact that despite everything that is wrong in our world today sir, you have managed to retain a wicked sense of humour ..

Oh\' and I quite agree .. such crossbreeds are indeed nothing more than that and sadly, a sure fire way for often very greedy breeders, to make an awful lot of money, from often very gullible folk who want a fashion accessory from .. just my opinion, but I am sticking by it ..

My daughter bought a Golden retriever x poodle when living in the states. They called them a \"Golden doodle!\" Kind of prophetic as it cost 10k to get it back to Oz.

sorenbarrett said:

A great story and in a sense parable. Times change, how one small thing can change everything. If we can look at this with a sense of humor, how much lighter our life can be. Priorities make all the difference.
