Dad getting his last haircut in March 2013. He had cancer and knew he only had a little while left. I was able to stay with him thoughout his hospice care. He passed away at home two months later, surrounded by family. Miss you Dad.

I see that you drive a Volvo. They won't win a beauty contest but they are comfortable!

I see. I recognized the interior since I drive one. I had my doubts at first but is is much more comfortable and easier to drive than anything else I have driven, including the flashy Peterbilts.

Yep. The back hinged visors give it away..

Funny story (Totally Fictional) . Unless the visor is left down and the driver gets out, they never see the forward facing side of it. So let's say a "buddy" writes a message on some paper that hypothetically says "DOT SUX" and the the driver goes through a scale house, their chances of getting pulled back may go WAY up.

I was looking through my archives emails and found this.

A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.

The boy asked, 'What is this Father?'
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.'

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.

They continued to watch until it reached the last number… and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son.....

'Go get your Mother'

Similar experience in 2014. I had no idea what hospice was before this, but I am so thankful for those people who helped us walk through this, enabling my Dad to die at home as he wished, passing away in the same room that his Dad passed away in 50 years earlier.
May seem strange to some, but these thoughts and memories are a very real part of what keeps me grounded, and fights off the insanity. Very much a part of my "happy place", if such a thing does exist.

I like this thread.

Here's another feel good thing:

I was in Nashville, at a pizza joint, and my wife asked the waitress, "what pizza do you like?"

The response was, "I usually make my own with pineapple and ham."

I immediately gave that woman some respek knuckles.

So there are TWO of you?
