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...

I live just north of Dallas and we had only an inch of rain over night. I am not complaining, that's more than we have seen in months.

Your DW and daughter are both lucky ladies to have you. Hope all runs smoothly from now on with your family.

Is anyone in SC, NC, or even parts North online to give an update? What has happened in your neck of the woods?

Maybe we are judging the mother for passing judgment on her own daughter. Who gives anyone the right to judge.

I have been reading thru this thread and I think any mother who can not except her child in these circumstances needs counseling. In my opinion no one chooses to be gay. I like the saying that life isn't about the cards you are dealt but how you play the game. Maybe there is a lesson in the...

I knew it was time to retire when the job I loved just wasn't fun any more.

I think you need the 1/4 cup sugar. It is not a sweet margarita. I hate those. I have used splenda before and it tasted great. So I guess you could make your own skinny margarita.

This is the best Margarita recipe ever. It takes a little planning and a little more time, but they are the best I have ever tasted. Combine and refrigerate the following for at least four hours (and can be as long as 24 hrs. prior to serving): 4 tsps of lime and lemon zest 1/2 c. lemon...

DH and I just came back from Taos, NM a week ago. They were having weather in the 90's while we were there. But after passing thru Childress TX where it was 118, we thought it was a great cool spell! We are off to England on Friday were it is in the low 70's today and that sure sounds like...
