OLDCOOT; You certainly would know what your talking about. Others that have died have said they found themsellves in a fabulous place and didn`t want to return to life. Just adds to the confusion. P.S. your profile was great and you sound like a great guy!
Aren't you just the wee package of dynamite starraven.
Thanks for the compliment, I've heard worse about my attempt to explain myself to women here.
I completely empathize, about running your own business - I only took a vacation twice in the first 17 years of my general contracting business and worked better than 12-14 hours a day/7 days a week at it.
BUT..I always made time for teacher/parent meetings, kids' sports games, doctor visits - things that truly mattered to my 2 boys' upbringing & didn't just dump the load on my spouse like some typical "trad-wife" husband might.
In fact, that's probably what killed me because otherwise I was in prime physical condition, exercised through physical labor at work, ate properly, and didn't over-abuse drugs or alcohol.
(Tetch of the herb now & again.)
Smoking & too much snausage & cheese are probably the most likely culprits behind my heart attack, but this is Wisconsin so what's a fella to do?
Been all the way across B.C. on a trip through Banff and wow, are you ever lucky to live in nature's paradise.
I have a funny joke involving the acronym B.C. - probably one of the funniest I've ever read, but it would be off-topic here.
