I joined at 50 and have enjoyed the magazine ... good articles pertinent to our age group. The discounts seem the same as AAA..... so no big deal there. The politics.... well, it seems no two people can agree on anything in politics anymore.... but I do think AARP in general is an advocate...

Thank you THANK YOU to everyone.... many helpful suggestions and inputs. I've quoted some of my favorites, below.... but the wittiest award has to go to HaHa..... excellent words..... and... I just have to remind myself that what haha says is (sadly) true. Thanks to all.... this group is the...

I've been FI-REd for 4 years now and couldn't be happier.... a little volunteer work.... several hobbies..... and I don't know where each day goes. Life is good. The problem is in some peoples' reactions when I say I'm retired.... and I'm starting to get sensitive to it and overreact.... not...

I don't have this specific model, but I've had multiple Canon printers and there usually is a warning first ... based on a specific cartridge (or several) running low. Later.... much later (as in weeks) if you don't use it that often.... it will just stop... mid-print... and tell you to change...

I always found Craig's List to be really a good way to go.... I think no matter what is done, you sometimes have to wade through wackos ! ... my best luck has always been to offer the departing tenant a $500 finders' fee... and have them show it to the prospective new tenants (and do some...

Unlike much of the world, we have separate sewer and water pipes! ... we don't have to wonder what's happening upstream before we get a drink.

I'm with Crabby Jerry... just fix the problem of the surface. We had a whole bathroom redone with Miracle Method Bathtub Refinishing, Countertop Refinishing, and Ceramic Tile Refinishing by Miracle Method and they did an amazing job that seems to be quite durable.

If you use Firefox and use the CookieCuller addon (an excellent one!), you not only have to protect all the cookies from early-retirement.org but also one that starts with www.early-retirement.org

I've been very happy with eVerity for 2 different FP sites for the past year.... they plan to continue FP extensions indefinitely. ...others that I investigated that also have FPE (or, did at the time) that have good reviews are: Cyber-Land Kionic.com NitroZone.Net Good luck in your...

It seems that all of these articles are written about ex-CEOs or VPs that leave their globe-trotting responsibilities to either start a Napa winery or raise horses.... just your typical people...... I think these articles are written by those that want people to continue to strive for a higher...

Glad to! As someone mentioned though, it looks like if your OS is Vista, they've taken a step backwards. I'm staying on XP as long as I can. If you go from your Start menu to Printers and Faxes, you can add a fax there. It becomes a printer driver. You take your scanned document, saved in...

To send, I use a scanner, and you can fax as a printer within Windows (maybe I'm stating the obvious?) Receiving is a pain.... you can get a free eFax account if you receive less than 20 pages per month; otherwise I think it's way overpriced.

I had Latin for 4 ponderous years. I don't remember much of it but it does help with crossword puzzles. My fondest memory is how I got out of the "Latin-night" event that everyone had to go to where the Seniors ("Sixth form") performed onstage.... I volunteered to be the guy in the...

Backwards Bush - Home of the Original Bush Countdown Clock Keychain! ..... but who's counting....

A credit & eviction report is easy to do... surprisingly easy. A perspective tenant fills in an application with a signature giving you permission to check them out; also ask for a copy of last yrs W-2 Once you have an account with these guys: National Credit Reporting - Tenant Screening, you...
