"you know your getting old when" I didn't know if you would be looking back so I thought I'd put my 2 cents in and send it here:

Well, well you old fogies I remember cruising main on 25cents a gallon. I don't have much recall before the time I lived in Charlaston SC, actualy the Ilse of Palms 1953. Our first TV set which was about 4 foot tall and 2 feet wide had a screen that wasn't much larger than my current cell phone. I got a real flash back reading Cynthia Sue Timko note. My father was Army/Aircorp and got transfered to Fort McCall in Washington state, I didn't really understand at the time why we had to take some dirt roads.

Anyway my reason for writing is that a number of years ago a study was done on some cloistered nuns in upstate NY, the study was designed to take a controlled group study of people and their habits (no not the clothing) to see how it effected their cognative abilities in later life. Those Nuns who customarily wrote letters, articles, recipes.... with some degree of articulation showed no later age dedregation of mental facilities, numbers quoted from study were 93% vs 68%....

Point is keep thinking - keep writing - keep contributing - keep your mind!

Alright I've had a couple of glasses of wine (4)...doing an indepth study on the effects of "reversitol" (a component of red wine) so I'm just going to send this on and not bother with spell check....uuurph, help! I fallen and can't reach my wine glass

Good luck all and keep up the good fight!

Hello Darlene:

This is an invitation to join the newest Newsvine Group: Successful Solutions. You can find it here: http://successfulsolutions.newsvine.com/

I came to Newsvine in February and have really enjoyed the interactive nature of Newsvine. But, like most news sites, I find one thing missing. And because Newsvine is so interactive, finally I can do something about it.

So often when it comes to the news, we discuss the problems of this world. That is good – to a degree. If we don't know what the problems are, we'll never get around to finding the solutions.

But, all over the world people are doing the work of solving problems related to the environment, poverty, health-care, peace/war, etc… If we take the time to learn about the concrete and successful solutions developed and used all over the world, then we learn. We move from debating the problems to discussing and debating the best solutions.

Please visit the Successful Solutions Newsgroup. You will find it here: http://successfulsolutions.newsvine.com/

The Successful Solutions Newsgroup focuses on solving the problems our world faces. Please consider joining this group and posting articles that address concrete solutions in areas such as the environment, green technology, health-care, housing, poverty, peace/war, etc…

The articles should focus on positive, hands-on and tested solutions that can be replicated. In the end – the purpose of this newsgroup is to serve as clearing house and learning center for those who wish to actively engage in the work of solving the problems of our world.

Once you've visited this group, if you'd like to join just click the green JOIN GROUP button.

Thank you for considering the Successful Solutions Group.

In Peace:
