  • Hi Jet
    I wish you all the luck in the world,it is good to see someone doing so well,
    as you know from post some people struggle, when you are in this position it is not very nice!!!!!.
    There is an old saying (who wants to live till there 90,the person who is 89) so I do not think it is different what ever your age,I think you are very lucky!!!
