I know, I know. I was just hoping. Go ahead, blather if it makes you feel better. It probablt won't change much though. setab

Puleeese! Not another political thread. I etired to get away from this. setab

I worked for the army. Tofu cloning would be more stimulating. Nowhere but up. Dennis

Never understood them. I'm in 2015 too. Liked the way the numbers looked. I wing everything so why not this too? Uncle Mick, you're my idol. setab

Do I ever hear you! I retired March 3 and here we are already a year down the line. I don't like it; I LOVE it! Add rediculous, pointless training to the list of things that I do not miss at all. I'd tell you what I do like, but I don't have time or space. It's great being busy with things you...

Thanks for the info on the printer. I've just gotten back to this after four days without power. Somehow when it's 40 degrees in your house, that takes priority. Maybe moving south isn't such a bad idea. I have looked at prices for MACs and they seem to be considerably higher than comparable...

How much upkeep/maintenance is involved? I am not handy at all and have seen many RV's stopped along the road. Thanks. It's something I've always wanted to explore buy stayed away from because of my total mechanical ineptness. setab

We are still referring to MAC vs. PC, right? I just find "bang for the buck" to be an interesting phrase in this context. ;D setab

I'm certain this has been covered, but please indulge me since I am computer challenged. I need a good, reliable computer and even better printer for word processing and casual net surfing. I do not need lots of bells and whistles. I write and frequently have to send in manuscripts. Kinkos, etc...

It's all you can do when the wind chill is minus 35! Good point, though. setab ;D

Roth appears to make more sense to me. I'll just have to suck it up and pay the taxes now. Interesting though. I had minimal earned income after March 3 last year when I retired and had more total income on the 1040 than any previous year. Maybe I should have retired sooner! Setab

It's earned income. It is a lump I have in a money market at the moment, but I understand the point. Taxes were already withheld on it, but Iunderstand what you are saying. Thanks for helping me sort it out. setab

Just ran through my taxes. Does it make sense to contribute $4500 to an IRA to save a liittle more than $1100 in taxes. Won't that money, which is post tax just be taxable again? I am retired, but will probably have come minor income this year. Thanks. setab

All Attorneys in a former life, Did you keep your law license once you retired? I need to renew mine and haven't used it in the year I have been retired. Is there any point? I can't see that I will practice law again, but I worked pretty hard to get it initially. Just wondering. Thanks. setab

Going on a year now, myself. What was it I used to do? Congrats! You won't regret it. setab
