    Terminal illness and SS decision.

    There are several drug trials for this particular kind of cancer. I know of one through Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, TN. You might check with them and see if there is one closer to you. I do know that they were planning to expand the drug trials.

    Kona Village Resort Re-Opens

    Wow! We went there 41 years ago and it was a package deal as part of a three-island tour. The prices were nowhere near that level then! I remember snorkeling among barracudas and small sand sharks in the little inlet lined with black volcanic rock below the swimming pool. I kept them away...

    Mother's Long Term Care Insurance Company Giving Me the Run Around

    I would talk to your DM CCRC and find out who the Elder Care Advocate is in your state. This person is a wealth of information and can point you in the right direction. My mother’s LTC was with Bankers Life and it always took several tries to get the right forms turned in. I was very...

    Spousal Pension NOT optional for some

    I researched my pension options rigorously. As a public school teacher in one of the 15 states where GPO and Windfall offset apply, I knew that I cannot draw on my husband’s SS due to my pension. We chose a plan that would let him have 100% of my pension for up to age 70 if I died. This would...

    Thinking About Taking Social Security at 62

    Dear OP, you might want to check DW’s SS. If you did not pay into SS, she may not be able to collect her full SS and your pension at the same time due to the GPO/Windfall offset. Opensocialsecurity.com can take that into account if you set the right parameters. It may not affect you but it...

    Will Social Security be there?

    With reference to the OP, Cindy Blue, you need to use the website that USGrant1962 listed: opensocialsecurity.com It allows you to adjust years and percents that you think SS might be adjusted. When I use it, it suggests that I should start drawing at age 62 but my husband should wait until...

    Knockout Rose disease

    It is very contagious. You need to dig up all the roots and put them in the garbage can. If the area gets good ventilation, you could try again with the roses. You might try a different color, the red ones have a greater tendency for the disease. I ended up with a limelight hydrangea in the...
