Thank you!
I've been lurking here for a while, but I wanted to pop in and say THANK YOU for all the years of great advice and entertainment. I've been following FI/RE communities since 1995, and thanks to all of you, I'm now counting down months instead of years before I go into semi-retirement (I want to launch a second career as a writer).
I'll probably be asking dumb questions in the future about things like updating wills, end-of-life directives, living arrangements for singles, caring for aging parents, and all sort of other things so I can plan ahead for the next decades of my life. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge!

Welcome back into the light. What would this place be without questions? I try to search first, and often learn a lot that way, but post away if the topic is new, different and/or searches are all too old. Things change all the time...

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.

ChocoKitty. Thinking this combines two of my favorite things - chocolate and kitties. We need pictures and details. Best wishes to you =^..^=
