    Reminds me of my uncle. He was at the hospital on his death bed with cancer, and he said. Well it looks like I am going to leave this world just like I came here, "but naked and flat broke"

    My grandfather passed away at 85. He had dementia and the last 4 or 5 years of his life were pretty sad. Just existing for the sake of existing. Once in a while you'd see that spark of recognition in his face when talking to him but mostly he just sat and listened. I honestly would rather be off the planet when at the point I can no longer function on my own than waste away in a home for 15-20 years.

    Also not far in Disputanta, maybe 10-12 miles I think, there is a Flying hook right across the street from this bbq joint. They do breakfast till 1100am I believe.
    Been to both places twice, & they were great both times..
