Wha, Dr. Thanks for the quick reponse. Looks like the MB currently is kicking between you and I. Where are the teachers, lawyers, developers, Inspectors, and the Accountants? Maybe they will surface at some stage.

Luckily I like fish and consume a fair bit. But I also have bottles and bottles of fish oil, so I better continue with that till I have finished. I guess as we age, we do wonder about death and dying and trying to live longer. My sister-in-law in San Francisco is in a coma, then in and out of coma. The family is spending money to lengthen her life. She can't even speak easily. Medical thing is expensive in the US. Then there is a question of Quality of Life. Which brings us to the difficult subject that if it's time to go, should we not be allowed to go, rather than to live a life not worth living? Mind you, I don't want to turn this MB into Health care, death, dying, even if we do have to face such issues at some stage.

Regards, LG, sitting under a gum tree of some sort.
