I think it's weird to have a dishwasher that WORKS. ALL the people I know have them and don't use them for a variety of reasons...at least not to wash dishes in. Storage mostly. ALL have some reason...leaks,inconvenience,don't clean well, noisy, too much bother. I have no dishwasher, no dryer...

Agree with all the posts...luckily I have a good dentist...I had a little piece of tooth break off beside an existing ancient filling...I thought "here we go...thousands to fix..." Nope. My dentist made a repair, and of course did tell me it could last a week or a decade, but try first before...

You know those posts from several people who worried that they couldn't find anything they needed or wanted to spend their pile on, now that they're retired? Couldn't justify spending for spending's sake? Who knew food and energy would be "it"?!?!?! Careful what you pine for!!!!

Good time to do a Traditional to Roth conversion....!

You can compare for yourself at Medicare.gov. No need to endure the sales pitch...just follow the questions and enter your zip and you get the plans available in your area. These are MEDICARE plans, and YES some do offer the things you hear on TV.

I live on the edge of the Allegheny National Forest in PA, and have a large pond down behind my home.....Geese come in the spring and a pair lays eggs on a tiny island in the pond.....but I think raccoons found a way to get to the island and the last few years no little ones, or they hatch and...

8 years in (Jan 2013) and I STILL love that Sunday afternoon feeling and the Monday morning NOT having to go to w**k!!! Have you watched "60 Minutes" yet on Sunday night, and NOT had your stomach go to full knot mode because that clock ticking means the weekend is almost over?!?!? Sometimes I...

Page SIXTY SEVEN?!?!?!?!? I suppose it was in microscopic print too????

OP here....I think I too will do MOST of mine right now, and top off in Dec 2021.. I have a very predictable income...this year I will get a refund of 57 dollars...that's close!!! Thanks for answering! OT...Boy that Line 30 on Form 1040 is fun!! All that calculating to just claim 0 on that...

Anyone doing their Traditional to Roth conversions today or this week?

Two words: Howard Beale. If you know who he is, you know WHY. If you don't, look him up...where else? On You Tube.

All this talk about a vaccine in a year or so.... There is NO vaccine yet for the common cold, or, for HIV....after 35+ YEARS. I wish they would stop saying "a vaccine will take 12-18 months". Better to say there MAY be a vaccine.

I hang mail (letter and mags) on my clothes line in the sun, until sundown. If it's raining, I put it in a designated place in my garage, then hang it out. I use gloves to empty my mailbox, and since I pay all my bills on line, there are just a few things I keep. The junk goes in the garbage. I...
