thank you all so far and for any more wishes that come .. i`m off work today so i`m here a bit earlier than normal .. after a few dismal years health wise i think this the latter part of this year has been a turning point in my life .. i`m making a serious effort to quit drinking ( beer ) .. it has been a stumbling block on and off for me for years .. i can immediately see health benifits with just stopping for a few weeks then boredom or the just plain need to have a buzz takes over and i`m on it again .. i know it causes my blood pressure to be sky high ..it keep my kidnees in constant pain .it causes other things to be affected as well of which i wont go into ..at 57 i feel pretty good .. age is largely in ones mind if health issues arent a big deal .. again thank you all ..
