The Owl Box, Ustream.TV: For Molly's Mug, Mouse Pad, eBook and a T-shirt go to: www.transferit.com/theowlbox Date Laid and Time________Hatch Date___Nam... We saw this mentioned yesterday in Jon Carroll's column in the SF Chronicle. There's a webcam streaming video from an owl nest near San...

At doctor's visits in the last two months my sweetheart's BP has been elevated, and now the doctor wants her to start on BP medication. Since this has just popped up there is some suspicion that the elevated readings are mainly due to momentary stress from seeing the doctor - there are some...

I'me just beginning my second year of ER, and I can't say I've had the slightest tinge of regret for my decision to to take the financial hit on my CSRS pension and leave three years early! FIRE may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it sure suits me just fine. I'm sure the last year would have...

I've got several boxes of old tax returns and I'd like to thin the herd as much as possible. I bet I could eliminate two Bankers Boxes of stuff very easily. Some of that stuff goes back to 1990 or possibly earlier (who knows, I haven't looked in those boxes for a looooong time). I'd often...

Howdy! Background:  I'll be 52 in 4 months, and my sweetheart of 28 years is 53 next month.  We're both career Feds (CSRS) who started in 1976 and she was able to take an early out offer last June, and is quite happy being RE'd.  My regular retirement date would be 09/2008 at 55 years with 32...

I came across this site via a retirement discussion on a hobby machinist forum, and since getting out ASAP is high on my list of things to do I'm finding a lot of interesting reading. I'll put something together about my situation, and see if I can come up with a few questions.  I'm pretty sure...
