Jim: snivel! Cheeze, Richards! Cut it out! Stop feeling sorry for yourself! You're not as badly off as some chaps half your age!! You can hear and see and enjoy a good meal. You can still read a book...and you have a fine wife who loves you. Quit snivelling about the things you can't do anymore and be grateful for the things you can! Hmph!...It always feels good to give someone you don't like a good talking to.
