I’m so very sorry to learn your wife’s condition has worsened longjohn. 
You both remain in my families nightly prayers.

I’m so sorry to hear this news.I really enjoy this forum and especially sprocket girl. I have hardly posted this past year or so because I haven’t rode my bikes. I’m the primary care giver for my wife and can’t leave her to go ride a bike. Her life is winding down now and I am about to lose her. She hasn’t eaten for a week and can’t seem to make the remote for her hospital bed work or work her iPhone to call me if she needs me. I hope to get back to riding this year.
NIGALLLLLLL!!!
Where have you been‽
Me too!And if it is a matter of financial support....I am happy to assist. Point me to the fountain!
John I remember some time back you posting of caring for your wife and her health. I certainly am praying for you and her and hope her transition is peaceful. One thing I am reminded by without going all religious as I am a believer in my Lord is that we all have one thing in common, we are all going to wind down one day and go to our eternal location, whether the one we want or the one we don’t given our personal choice.I really enjoy this forum and especially sprocket girl.

I administer a Facebook group for cyclist 65 plus. We keep our membership at about 600 and are always turning people down. We are death on any political posts or anything similar. We block and delete without notice any of these. It keeps the forum positive and keeps the negative people out. Other forums on Facebook for older cyclists have 20 to 30,000 participants, and if you do a post it get lost immediately because there's always 10 posts right after you post your topic. That's why we keep ours so small. I don't know what that has to do with your decision, except that you can run a good Facebook cycling group and keep politics and negatives out of it. We've had this for about 3 years now.
Yup.it's a tool ( see what I did there?Glad someone mentioned a well-managed Facebook group - it just takes a bit of work and common sense.People always demonize Facebook but Facebook is just a tool like any other and is only as good as the people who use it and manage it and it's content.
Yup.it'a tool ( see what I did there?I guess that's going back in time to use it that way ) and it's TOXIC, foul and generally obnoxious no way around it. Of course that's just my opinion
