I think he was also moving to Tasmania

I'm still alive and kicking...... though I can't kick as high as I used to.  Yup, that Arthur Itis has a lot to answer for.

Anyway, I've not been around as much due to being very busy packing and organising the move to Tassie... then unpacking once we got here.  It has been a very time consuming and expensive move, but I'm so glad we did it.  The heat up there in Queensland is stifling and now we're enjoying temps ranging from 5c to 7c overnight to around 15c during the day.  It's usually warmer than that at this time of year but we're currently in a bit of a cold snap.  Suits me though.

Not only that, the smoke from all the bush fires wasn't the best, so breathing up there could become somewhat laboured at times.  My sister is telling me that it is much worse since we migrated here.  Besides, my son and daughter can no longer bother us.  Both are addicted to ice and only ever wanted me for money and whatever else they could get.

The pair of them owe me about $10 grand that I'll never see, so finances will improve for leaving them behind and cutting the ties.  Worse still, they both are violent and nasty these days, especially when I refuse to give them more money, and that's not what I signed up for all those years ago. 

Yeah, some might think I'm being too harsh on them, but they're both big enough and ugly enough to fend for themselves.... if they so chose to.  Besides, I'm just too old to be tolerating their bullshit.

No unpacking or organising today, I'm taking the day off to recuperate and relax a bit.  Don't know when I'll next get back, but at some point I will.

Good to see you back starkers!

Thanks to all for the welcome back.  I'm not too sure how often I'll log in, being there's still so much to do here while we settle in, but I will pop in from time to time to say high and give updates, etc.

Right now I'm getting organised to go out and do some furniture shopping.  I'm downsizing from a queen size bed to a king single because I have less space in my new room than before, so it's necessary to go smaller to fit in all the stuff I want and need.   It's all good, though.   The house may be smaller than our last place, but it is cozy and quite comfortable, which is all that really matters.

Anyhow, that's it for now, will catch you all next time.  

First you have to see if it's still there.

That's only when a mirror is handy.... otherwise I'm just seeing how far my chest has slipped Southward.

You been away a good while?

Nah, really this thread is about a missing person that we know to be ill, Kona.

We'll miss you when you're gone....

I don’t believe Ross was originally from where he was last posting about being.  Unfortunately, I think this is his Obituary:

https://www.hancockfuneralhome.net/m/obituaries/Ross-Anderson-2/Memories

He was on WC a few days before the date of death, and was quite regularly on up to then. He also mentioned that he was 66 in one of his posts.

We have lost far too many from the community, and most have been from cancer.  I know this post isn’t what anyone wanted to see, but it may give closure.  He did write in one of his posts that if you didn’t see him for awhile, you would know what happened.  I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t have kept posting if he was still able to.     

Thank you KarmaGirl.... yes now there is closer..
