Compression sox for wearing on our flights, wired headphones for DGS who are too young for wireless, some more fidget toys for DGS for the plane trip this summer. Their back packs full of things to do on the plane are almost done!

We keep running through old comedies--Cheers, Frasier, Golden Girls. And classic shows like MASH, Quincy ME, Rockford Files, etc. Recently watch American Graffitii New shows just don't seem to connect with me right now.

Fentanyl is designed for intractable pain, most often for cancer, and short term after surgery. Used correctly, it is very helpful. Very dangerous otherwise. Any street drug is cringe worthy, as there is no way to know the potency. Every generation has had its "drug of choice". Nowadays...

Souschef--congratulations on your 15 years! I enjoy looking at your travel stories and pictures when you post them. May you and your DW enjoy many more years of sunny, coastal life!

The Birds. To this day, I do not like seeing a bunch of crows in our yard or on the electric lines! Vertigo is good, as is The Rear Window. I have never watched Psycho completely.

Good article. We have "me" time and "us" time every day. It is important for each us to be able to pursue activities that the other might not want to participate in. We've both been retired 7 years, about 4 years in, we hit a rough patch. It lasted most of the summer one year. But, we...

Wonderful story! Blessings to you and your family.

I used to work with a person who brought all kinds of information to me regarding aliens, ancient theories, etc. I found it fascinating. Believable? Not so much, but you never know!

Sounds like a wonderful, memorable trip. Good for you!

Smaller city/town within 30-60 minutes of major airport, good medical choices and trauma hospital nearby, plenty of shopping choices for food/supplies. Good police/fire and safe neighborhoods, good schools based on teacher ratios, variety of classes and test scores. Walkability--nice parks, at...

Rainy Sunday, so staying in today. Need some things from Costco and may do an online order for delivery. I have never done that for Costco, but I don't feel like going there for just a few things.

Your wife is correct in my opinion. You can be a listening ear and guiding voice towards credit counseling and any other suggestions. If his wife is still teaching, she will need to continue at least until 65 and hopefully has a pension. If their son is not paying them any rent, etc, he should...

Looking really good, coming along nicely!

Supposed to rain today and for the next 3 days, but right now it is sunny. We are still a bit low in yearly moisture, so rain will be nice when it arrives

Great first year retirement story! May you have many more to share.

Taking it easy today. Yesterday did a stupid move--pup wanted to sit on my lap, so did a bend, twist, lift (dumb, dumb) and my chair rolled out from under me. Landed hard on my bum with the dog in my lap. Back, neck and bum sore last night and today. Nothing broken. Using ice, heat, and some...

My husband takes his CPAP as a carry on, but since it is a medical equipment, it does not count as your "one' carry on or personal item. He got a "medical" sticker at the counter. At least on Alaska Airlines, he was able to have his backpack, cpap, and camera case.

Around here, folks think traffic circles, or roundabouts, are speedways! Enter at your own risk. I have been to places where they work well, wish it happened everywhere.

You are doing the right thing, it is difficult dealing with aging, ill parents. I've been there. Take care. Today I plan to go get the flowers for the pots on our decks. Always wait until May for warmer weather. We can have April frosts and occasional snow.

wow, odd story. Not a normal situation at all, I think your Grandpa was a live donor. Good thing he pulled through. Sounds like he was a tough old man!

I agree with TT, selling the house in Louisiana and moving to Colorado seems like a better fit for what you are looking for.

We carry cash for dining out and we use our debit card quite frequently. We have never had a problem with it. I have all of the alerts on it, and could catch anything rather quickly.

It is a sunny morning after a day with heavy rain and hail storm, glad I haven't planted my flowers yet! I will get to that next week. Finally got the rest of the orders for the fidget toys, books, etc so I can fix the little travel back packs for two DGS for our trip this summer. Need to keep...

Yes, we had to fill out the form also. We signed up for SS in person, but were never told of the form then! We went back to do that and rather than waiting for an appointment, the security guy actually got the forms and envelops for us and then showed us where to put them afterwards. Nice guy...

Our CU had a FA also. We met with him twice over the years prior to retirement. We never invested via him, but he gave us some good advice and reassurance. He had a good understanding of our work pension and ran several scenarios including Social security taken at different ages. He did give...
