   Haven’t read anything here from someone in their nineties. After a near fatal car wreck in 1972, a heart attack in 1995, and quintuple bypass 2008 and stage 4 non-hodgkins cancer in 2014, I’m still driving, playing ping pong and going to meetings. So hang in there the best you can, effort and attitude are worth years.

   Been using a CPAP since 1988. Have tried many mask types and as uncomfortable as the full face is, it’s the only one I can stand. Counting both night and afternoon nap, I average about 9 hours of sleep in 24. What’s important are the AHI’s and the AI’s, leaks are not so important. Regular CPAP is constant pressure, not so good. BiPap lessons pressure for out breath. I use an autopap, ASV that adjusts pressures and really helps . Medicare will pay for new machine every 5 years. I’m 92 aand doing reasonable well.

   How’s your closet?

   Our community laws say no. But recent state law supersedes that. Not much yard space in our mobile home yard but we use racks on our side porch. As a child, the old electric tub washer with ringer we had comes to mind, and the frozen clothes to take down from the clothes lines.

   SO let every business each pay for everything they use that the government created using tax money PLUSpay for their share of environmental damage they do water, air, the ground, etc. That would lower taxes!!

   A station in Berkeley today had it at $5.00 for regular. Most places were $4.49. Bless our Prius.

   Doesn’t know where to find them? of course if they are lost.Leave them alone — what else can you do until they are found.Wagging their tails behind them — could they walk backwards and wag in front of them?

   Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was an excellent writer who wrote many fine stories without the character Sherlock Holmes. One about man who wanted a ghost for his castle, told realistically how he was scammed.

    I live in a Senior’s Community where 55+ is required. There are 260+ manufactured homes of various ages, sizes and conditions separated from town by a wall but not a gate. In a town where the median house price is 880,000 you can buy a good single wide c900 sq feet for about $200,000. Double wides are $250M to 350M, prices that have gone up a lot in the last two years. There is a huge club house and an amazing array of activities. I’m 90 and I play ping-pong twice a week. We pay rent that goes up every year. The lots are rather small, but we have four large trees and six smaller ones. Big help is property taxes are hundreds, not thousands. The location is near perfect with five grocery stores and two hospitals within four miles. We have a four bedroom place that cost $160,000 in 2019 and have been able to spend some on improvements. Not all “trailer parks” are unpleasant or a bad deal. If you are older and somewhat active, I hope considering such a place might be a help you haven’t yet explored.
