Thanks Walt34, well said. I also retired with a great pension after 27 years in law enforcement. I know I met some tough challenges, took the risks, and did a job that 98% of the public would not choose to do. I consider myself very lucky to have come out the other end of my career with a...

When you are in Reykjavik I recommend doing the Blue Lagoon. A large geothermal spa that is an experience. It is a short drive from Reykjavik and there are local buses that will take you there also. We were there last September.

I had a brief encounter with a celebrity a couple of years ago. My husband and I checked into a high rise hotel in Seattle for a couple of nights. Just after checking in I went down to the lobby to retrieve a newspaper. When the elevator doors opened on our floor there was one man inside...

I wish it was that simple.

We have taken several TA cruises. We usually fly American Airlines (since we are located in Dallas) and we book a round trip and do not use the reverse leg. It seems silly to have to do that but that's the way the game is played.

My Prius is only 10 months old so I haven't had anything done to it. While it is in warranty I will go back to the dealership for service. I really like the Toyota dealership near my home, so I will probably take it back to them after the warranty period. I also enjoy driving a small car...

I have a 2012 Prius. I test drove the Prius C prior to testing the Pruis. I did not like the Pruis C. It has much less power than the regular Prius. I felt like I might need to get out and push. The gas mileage offered on the C is only a couple of mpg better than the Prius. I love my...

Glad you can too.

This thread is so interesting. One thing that always amazes me is how quickly people will jump on my home state and say such negative things. I, being a well-bred Texas girl, would never make disparaging comments about all those other unfortunate states out there. My, my, they do have their...

I became part of a class action group against AT &T many years ago for their employment practices that discriminated against pregnant women. I received a hefty settlement and AT & T now grants leave and holds jobs for their pregnant employees. I am currently part of a class action against...

I just happened upon this thread and thought I would check. I found myself listed twice. I found $226.50. One was very small over payment reported by a doctor and the other was from a past employer. The past employer couldn't find me, yet they send me a pension check monthly, go figure.

Marathoner, If you are for sure that you are going into devorce, protect yourself as others on this thread have stated. Soon to be ex's cometimes play nice to delay things so they can rearranged accounts, etc. to benefit themselves. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, but...

+1 antmary said it well. I also was divorced from a serial cheater while in my late twenties. I married young and I couldn't see myself as "divorced" so I put up with way to much abuse both emotional and physical until I grew a backbone. Life is too short to settle for something or someone...

I got all of them correct. I am 62.

DH and I live in an over55 and much of our activites are in our little community. When we retired five years ago we toyed with the idea of one car, but decided that one or the other of us would be sitting at home and wishing we had the car alot of the time. We decided that we would go with one...
