Diki,

Glad to see you survived the move, but I can attest, first hand, that getting old is not all what it is cracked up to be. In 30 minutes my daughter will be driving me to the VA Hospital to have some lab work done, which I have to do every 6 months in order to get some prescriptions filled and visit with the doc for a few minutes. She is driving me there because I can no longer feel my feet, legs, arms and hands due to neuropathy, so the MVA took my drivers license away and gave me an ID card in its place. Additionally, my lungs are shot to hell along with my colon. Hard to keep down solid food, regardless of how much I need it.

I've been on this forum, since birth I think, I came here looking for help, then ended up providing assistance to many others since then. I confessed many times that I am not an accomplished musician, my musicianship skills are no where near the level of most others on this and other forums, however, I have managed to garner the technical expertise, particularly with Yamaha arranger keyboards, which has allowed me to solve a lot of problems for other players and musicians that can be dumbfounded by the complexities of an arranger keyboard, regardless of brand. That's why I stay. And it provides me a few minutes relief from providing health care for my invalid spouse of 60 years.

The mine's better than you attitude is something I have abhorred since I first arrived at the Synthzone, which never seem to go completely away, and likely never will. I never understood that attitude, and talked with Nigel several times about the problems it caused. He agreed with me, but in reality, other than deleting the entire post or thread, there was little that anyone could do.

I know I am not as active here as I was in the past, but getting old, losing some functional body parts, and turning my house into a nursing home has caused me to lose interest in all the forums I used to frequent.

Good luck on what ever you decide upon,

Gary
