mahjong is good, keep the mind fit if in for the game not the money.
Tv is more sessile, I would rather take a walk or enjoy time with my cats.

i actually keep fishes as pets ( too lazy to walk them ) only changing of water.
Arowana fishes !!

From "Coping with dying":
1. Pain
- Always reassure a dying person, such as someone who has cancer, that they won't be allowed to suffer, that they won't have to endure excruciating pain, that they will be given medicine for pain relief.
- An important result of this is that they can relax and eventually die more peacefully.
2. Separation from Loved Ones
- The other worry is the separation from loved ones, from one's possessions.
- We know that to come together implies separation.
- You need to gently encourage and reassure her that the children and those left behind are capable of taking care of themselves or will be taken care of.
- "Death is certain — the hour is uncertain."

nobody is made of stone. Emotion is always there. How much of control is the key.

oh....that reminded my poor poor Red Arrowana.....I bought it when it was finger small and grow up to your size.
One early morning 5:30a.m. i dress up in No. 4 uniform to "book in" and ready to go out the door on the way i took a close look at my Arrowana....he "flips" and broken its spin. he could only swim upside down for a Month. I have no idea how to cure him except to let him die.
