My problem is age.  After 94 I noticed my mind and my body starting to part company; they both are slowing down but for different excuses: It takes more energy to get me out of bed each day so less hours available for work. While each year that I manage to make it through, whether I want to or not, I get a little more knowledgeable, "smarts" that I feel I should be passing along.  And that slows me down.> > stan> > Smith Mountain Lake?  One of her haunts Rose told me about. She was a hill billy from Roanoke who got an RN license from the Medical College of VA that opened the world for her and added a bit more validity to grandma's belief of opposites attracting. I have not seen friends or family come near our 72 years of such joyous living as one. The business offers some small relief from the pain so that remains the plan.> > > 2/18/23 12:12 PM, Ed McNamara wrote:>> I want to join the ROC and purchase several hundred dollars worth of parts.>> I emailed Stan a few days ago but have not gotten a reply.
