Lisburn Exiles Forum
(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)
The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.
Hi all,
Watched an old man (104) & woman (102) last night on the Late Show. They were wonderful, full of life & humour. One's tip for long living was moderation, the other's, God's Will. The lady worked in a famous shop in Dublin, until she was 75.
Here am I sometimes wondering how much longer I have, how many aches & pains I have, how will I end my day & what will be the end ,
They have given me hope to live for today, keep young at heart, laugh & live until I die, no wondering any more.
Whatever will be, will be, nothing I can do about it, as my Grannie always said "Never worry about the day you've never seen"

Pat, I didn't see the show but that is a wonderful age for a married couple to reach. As you say, humour, moderation in everything and a positive outlook all helps. Of course, they must have been blessed with healthy genes too, but good luck to them.
Donald, YOU ARE JOKING!!!!!!!
Donald,
Another of my Grannie's sayings
"They should be saying their prayers"

Donald,
Who could be happy leaving your family forever.? I pray for a "slipping away" death, no bother to anyone, preferably in my sleep.
I also pray for sensibility to the end & living in the bosom of my family, as in the old days.
Wonder what will really happen, have I enough faith to believe my prayers will be heard.?
YES........hope you are all listening... my family I mean....Pat
