Getting older

Why am I writing about this topic I don't really know but here goes, getting older is a natural process but why does everything in your body start changing, why can't you just get older and still look and feel the same as you always did, wouldn't that be a better way to grow older,I myself don't mind looking different from pictures of perhaps thirty years ago but there are people in my age group(66) who do mind and by looking at old pictures it makes some people dipressed, you start getting tired quicker, your appetite changes, your ability to do things that you always did with ease but now becomes harder as though the will to do those job's becomes tiresome, sometimes you don't even want to get out of bed but you say to yourself I've got to get up and start doing what I always do and not just lay in bed feeling sorry for yourself because you're getting older. It's all part of mother nature's way of showing you that the years are passing you by slowly but shorly, aches and pains, tablets to take that the doctor prescribed for all sorts of things. The children are getting older and perhaps thinking about their future and maybe a future family so you getting older is not such a bad thing after all seeing this happen in front of your eyes makes you feel better which is a good thing to watch. If you're getting older you still in a way do the same things but just a bit slower but you still try to do them without thinking about aches and pains, the only thing that I don't like about getting older is that I have to wear glasses most of the time and also have another pair for reading, that's unavoidable because I think that your eye's are the first thing that changes and the first signs of getting older but in a way it makes you look more distinguished as if you're a professer or teacher which is pretty cool, so all in all getting older is not such a bad thing and I for one don't get dipressed about it although I don't really celebrate my birthday any more because it's as though your children when giving you a present are reminding you that you're getting older, for me I'm 21 and will always be that age, so to everyone I say let's all get older respectably and who cares if we are getting older.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
