Wuzzerdad, were you speaking about yourself? You mentioned "pretty much used up, cancer/cancer treatments have taken most of the fun out of the game for me..." First, I am sorry about the news of your cancer experience and I hope it is in remission or gone. Second, I hope you have researched available medical care here for specialized medicine. Thirdly, you aren't leaving your wife in a new land a long way from family and friends without making arrangements for her in case your cancer returns, correct?

You have impressed me with all your research for moving here. So I tend to presume you have prepared for the "worse-case scenario". Now with all my gloom and doom out of the way, hurry and get here before the snow hits!! I can assure you, I can promise you...your wife and you will not freeze to death here. And please get revitalized when you get here and get involved with things you and the wife love. Chess for you? Think of yourself as victorious over a nasty alien that attacked your body. Think of yourself as blessed to spend many more years with your wife in Hawaii. Start your new journey as winners. And meet your new group of friends.

Finally, on a very serious note: I can't find the emoticoms...the funny faces. I try and try and am getting very jealous over others discovering where they are and my failings. Help!

My wife will be fine if I should die, and actually I am ok with that eventually now. We have something a lot of people don't have and never find. I am one lucky guy. As far as it goes, she/we could travel every month back to the mainland as far as money goes, her well being financially will be enhanced further should I die.

Health care?? Yeah, I looked, it is Ok, with a trip to the big island for serious stuff, tell you the truth, I would just as soon pass on any heroic efforts. I have been in level 8-9-10 pain pretty much constantly for the last 3+ years, last time it was less than that I was in Hawaii.(last August/September)....

Was that because we were on Vacation, and depression lifted? Partly that for sure, but we were there way longer than a vacation, even though that is what it was. I was amazed[:p]

I skip around a lot, my health care can come from the VA, and there are a couple of good hospitals on the Big Island. I assume cremation is available?

The emoticons are when you do a full reply, not the quick reply at the bottom.
