Well y'all, another mill stone in the life of BRay.

I went into the Social Security office this afternoon and filed for my benifits. My checks of $933 a month will start on June 19,02.

Now I've been battle'n this here dilemma of be'n tag as a oldester since last Nov when I applied online, and I still AIN'T like'n it one bit!!!!!! In fact it started way before Nov.

I realize, I'm what I am, because of what has transpired over the years and I've become to like this here guy! But coming to that knowdge, this late in life PISS'S me off!!

Guess I need to find a purdy little young thang and add "dirty old man" to them tags? LMAO

BRay.... You have the wisdom and knowledge of self that you have because of the road you have traveled... there's no other way to possess what you have!! Us young'uns need the wisdom you have to share with us!! :)

glad you hear you are going to get your benifits finally.. that is really good.

I agree with Shawna, I'm always happy to read the comments and pov from you, because you've experienced a lot..and I mean this in a good way

You have experienced a lot, it's good to hear from someone with experience. Glad to hear that you are getting your benefits. Keep us up to date!

Good for you BRay :)

DEAREST BRAY:


HON, I'M NOT TOO FAR BEHIND YOU.... KEEP THE ATTITUDE CORRECT AND YOU WILL BE GREAT.... DON'T EVERY ADMIT YOU ARE OLD.... OLD IS ONLY IN THE BRAIN.....

YOU HAVE SO VERY MUCH KNOWLEDGE TO GIVE TO OTHERS.... JUST AS JDS SAYS..... KEEP DOING IT.... I KNOW THESE GIRLS AND GUYS GET TIRED OF MY CONTINUED SPOUTING, BUT MAYBE IT WILL HELP THEM WITH SOMETHING IN THEIR LIVES....

MY LOVE TO YOU SPECIAL BRAY

DONNA

age is all in the mind.. I tell my parents that all the time.. So do not trip to hard it is just a #. it was a big deal when you were waiting to drive legally or to drink legally but now it is just a #.. :)

Thank y'all for your kind words!! It is a GREAT pleasure in knowing that some ideas/comments get's some thought/evaluation.

Yes, I have seen/done a lot in those yesteryears. But I can't say they were the high lite of living! Most likely why "aging" is coming so hard?

Maybe this will get some of the "guys" thinking, since MOST won't talk about personal stuff!!!!!!!!

In these latter years, I went through 2 YEARS of "WHAT and WHO in the hell am I"? It's a hard road when there is so many "years" to deal with!!!! And it cause's a fight, with self, to deal with what is turned/stired up AGAIN!

What has been the results? I realize. I am, what I am, because:

Of everything I seen, everything I done, every place I've been, every person that I've made contract with, is "who I am"! No one, is an island unto themselves.

And since being in this forum, I've added more people too, "who I am", THANK YOU!!!

Donna.... I don't ever get tired of hearing what you have to say.... :) and BRay... I think we all at times struggle with some of the questions to describe.... but it sounds like you have reached a level of peace..... :) and that is an accomplisment.... :)

that is so true :)

WE LOVE YA B-RAY!!

how could we ever get tired of people who have such an amount of knowledge?

B-Ray -
Age well, the only way to stop getting older is to...well you know. Just appreciate the fact that you're still around to shed a little wisdom on us.

By the way, my husband is 21 years older than I am...there's still young'ns around who like "seasoned" men!!!!!

>>>there's still young'ns around who like "seasoned" men<<<

HUMMM, maybe I should "lower" the age range in my quest? ~BG~

It seems, when reaching my vintage, it's hard to find one with as much spread as you two and maintain common interest and goals.
