Re: "If I Were a Rich man...........................? "

Can't comment. Never been rich in a material sense. But I'm happy to say I've never been poor either. I guess I'm at that lucky place on the curve where I have enough to be comfortable. Where I have just enough so as not to be jealous at the guy that has more but lucky enough to not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from of if I'm going to have a roof over my head tomorrow. Lucky enough to not have to live with an AK47 in my back or a knife at my neck. I wouldn't use the word "rich" to say how I feel in any sense. But as I said, I feel lucky. I've worked hard in my life as has my wife. We have worked hard for what we have and it's enough. So maybe we do feel rich. Dunno.

I talked to my Great Grand Children, today, as they stood on my doorstep, and I'm, certainly looking forward to much more than that!
Ted this enforced separation really brings home how special our close families are , it's hard not to put a hand out and touch them though isn't it.

It certainly is. Particularly with my youngest granddaughter, who has brought me to the verge of it many a time.

I'm yet to have grandchildren, so can't empathise. But I can easily imagine how hard it must be to forcibly restrain oneself from acting upon an innate loving instinct.
