Would like your opinions on this recently acquired unusual keris. It is 19.5" OAL with a 11.5" blade.

Bill,
Your WWI Sheaths are finished except for the steel chapes it will take a few days to get them welded up. My brother does the welding at his job. the other openback sheath is finished too.
God Bless.

Ever notice how the real old people are always happy people. They say outlook can make a big difference in life expectancy, I guess that explains why so many in my family died relatively young.:(

Federico,

I read a study in that focussed on longevity and what common characteristics of people who had lived a long time. Diet, habits, etc.

I was surprised that the common denominator was outlook. Old people all had something that they really loved to do. They were excited about something.

I read another study that most people who developed cancer did so following a tragic loss that they could not emotionally/mentally recover from.

I asked my grandfather his secret for a long life and he told me, "Get up every morning!" I asked him how he did that and he replied, "Drink a lot of water the night before!"

So keep smiling and drink a lot of water!

LOL !!

When grandfather was alive he was always a joker and he told me this joke:

Son, I have started taking viagra !!

I take half before I go to bed so I don't roll out in the middle of the night and half the next morning so I don't piss on my feet !!

He lived to 84 - not particularly old but he put his body through some serious abuse. 90 cigs a day and a bottle of Dewars White label Scotch !!

He slowly went mad but it wasn't actual madness more frustrationm cos he couldn't remember things !!

Rest his soul !!
