Given that life exists at the bottom of the ocean around deep sea vents, based on sulphur and heat, so I understand, rather than CO2 O2 and sunlight, as on the surface, there is no need to look for similar planets to earth. LIfe could exist almost anywhere, such as on Io even.

I think the challenge might be to find life that is similar to ours on planets that we could survive on without too much trouble.

Indeed: but that is a wholly different pottle of haddock.

Well sort of. I got a certificate.
I finally completed my radiation treatments. Now to wait a few months to see if they worked.

I may pop in from time to time over the next four days, in between golf and jobs my wife has for me to do.
I have just bought a couple of DVDs to watch too, The Flipside of Dominic Hyde and Doomwatch: Winter Angel.
Got my eggs, got my gin.
All else is vanity!

Everyone's - toothbrushes and toothpaste
Mine - razor, shaving cream, after-shave
Hers - around 2 cubic ft. worth of lotions, creams and whatever. I counted 20 bottles today before giving up.
Everything except medicine

Let me see...toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, shower hat, spare soap, interdental brushes, first aid kit, and medicines from slow release aspirin granules to morphine (two sizes of capsule, and two grades of patches).
Oh, and a flea squasher for the cat's little pets.

Well... that explains a few things.

Would if it was mine - but the strongest drug I use these days is the occasional paracetamol!

I was thinking the cat, but your explanation is more plausible. 
I too suffer from a condition that has symptoms much like arthritis. Have had both knees and one hip replaced. It helps to have a few friends in the medicine cabinet. (But I haven’t taken any since December.)

Ooooo! Nasty - my younger brother had his right hip replaced when he was a kid: fell out of a tree, and I remember how much fun that was for him. (He's now on this third of fourth, he keeps wearing the damn things out)
The patches are good (20ug/hour Buprenorphine, 7 days per patch) but they are being replaced with the oral version (60mg/day Zomorph) for cost reasons and they aren't as good at all. If only because I keep forgetting to remind her to take them...

Every new upgrade installed has been for the better in my case each time resulting in renewed mobility.
![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) Hope you and your wife are doing well. It can be tough for all involved, pain sucks.
Playing music is the best therapy for me. It's kind of like how little kids can take a fall or a hard hit when they're goofing around, but scream bloody murder when gently slapped upside the head for being nuaghty.

Mine - toothbrush, toothpaste, electric shaver
Hers - toothbrush, toothpaste, various pain relievers, various OTC digestion medicines, various hair care products, various hair care appliances, plus a motley collection of various various; and that's just the upstairs bath!

Medicine cabinet, what medicine cabinet we have a shelf that holds brush, comb, stinkum and some cream for jungle rot. The dental bits live in a couple of pots! Hair stuff lives in the shower, now there is a proliferation of stuff, I use 1 of about 9 different varieties.
