Oooorrhh  Gee seth, I am hanging my head in shame.  I will have to go & have a Turkey or 3 now.  And I was trying to give it up too.  Not overly exerting myself, mind you.

innes I know I'm off the subject, but I know you will forgive me, I see you suffer from that strong hold the turkey has on you, similar to poor fwed, alas, who just drinks anything. Have you thought of AA.???

Do you really think I want to get rid of this gorgous addiction that badly seth?  I know that you in particular will be proud of me & my ability to sustain life whilst putting up with this malady.  As my good Barrister friend said to me only yesterday "I intend to keep living until I die".  God made me give up sex.  I made me give up smoking.  If it wasn't for the Turkey, I would be perfect & the World, as we know it, couldn't handle that.

Innes your Barrister friend is a very wise man, I will now do the same.                  I was intrigued by your assertion that God made you give up sex, amazing,            Here am I thinking you had to first have a sex life.

I guess wild turkey does have it's mind bending benefits intact,                             It all helps to enjoy life on the pension.

Husband and I, both aged pensioners, sold our large maintenance prone home, added a little of our Super and purchased an excellent retirement unit in beautiful Kiama, all services within walking distance, community garden for fresh veg all year, weekly levy absolutely affordable, best financial and lifestyle decision, no more rates, water, maintenance draining our finances, never been so well off.
