[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I plan to spend it sailing the high seas,, drinking cocktails, flirting with hot women, and enjoying myself until I Cross the Bar. I'll send my kids a postcard. Almost 50, female. I've always been a pirate. Raised my kids to mutiny. [/quote]

I'm OP. I like your post. What a great attitude!

I re-read my post and it probably comes across as very anxious. 
I am usually an independent person with a positive outlook on life but I do suffer from bouts of anxiety - especially night time anxiety which causes sleepless nights.

My late parents were very social people who had a HUGE circle of friends and acquaintances. They were known locally and they would regularly invite a bunch of friends to their home for gourmet dinner parties with great food and fine wines (my mom was an excellent cook). 
 
After my mom died, and my dad was ill for 3 years and then he passed aged 64, no one of their social circle had actually spent any time with him in the 3 years before he died. Fair weather friends ...?

I'm just saying, even if you're the most social and generous person on the planet, there is no guarantee that people will be there when you need them.[/quote]
