    My blood pressure is down, my weight is down, and my over all health seems to have improved greatly since the days when I set the alarm for 4AM and scrambled to get to work on time.....Life for me has improved 10 fold. Wish I had listened to others and had done it sooner....

    One month into retirement and already a big problem!

    My advise for you would be have one big garage sale and cleanse yourself of all those tacky old work clothes.

    Free vacations

    Favorite Restaurant and Favorite Dish

    Matt's in Dallas. I can't get past their chile rellenos. The Dallas Morning News labeled them "the food of the Gods", and I must say I agree. The most wonderful Tex/Mex dish I have ever had.

    Reason for holding a mortgage...or not

    Outtahere, I just have to ask. What year was it that you tried for a loan on your grandmothers house? Having had an experience trying to get a mortgage after a divorce at a young age, I want to know if it was just the times...... :'(

    The Day the Music Died

    JPatrick, I am a little sad that I am old enough to know such trivia, but I guess glad that the brain waves are still working! What memories! I loved Buddy, The Big Bopper, and Richie Valence. I also loved Bobby Vee's music. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Lakerat
