My hubby had this done around age 50. Easy peasy, according to him. Almost 100% better. He used to get a lot of numbness, dropping things etc. Now cured. They did one hand at a time. He really didn't need me to help with anything. Good luck!

We pay over $7000 annually for our family of five and this is a benefit...I am still working! I believe the company pays at least that (probably more). Granted, we have very good coverage but still have deductibles to meet every year. My employer IS my health insurance company btw. We are...

Central Minnesota, April 16, 2014. Supposed to keep snowing until 2 AM. Easter bunny nowhere to be found.

It's a beautiful spring day in central Minnesota. The only reason I am not really grumpy is that they are forecasting 60s and 70s next week. :)

Definitely the three best days were the first days I met my adopted children. #1 son...was sitting in a baby carrier in the orphanage and I was so nervous and excited that I couldn't get him out, lol. The ladies working there had to help me. They probably worried about giving this beautiful...

I like MMM forums too, however haven't been able to get on the site for a few days now. This is my favorite site. Bogleheads is very informative!

Congratulations! Enjoy this special time!

You guys are rock stars!!! Congratulations! You are almost there.

Now that spring has arrived, it's time to get back in shape! Sunday hubby and I loaded 120 bales of hay, then unloaded and stacked at home. My back is still sore! Need to get those ab and back muscles strong again! Today saddled up two horses for beginner riders and walked with them on a...

I strongly believe that you should feel a true calling to become a parent before you make the choice to have children. That being said, sometimes both partners don't have the same feelings which can be difficult to deal with. My desire to be a mom was there from an early age. That was all all...

We are in a similar position as OP. We have about 500k in retirement accounts. I am 40. We will need about 50-60 K per year. I am 40. However, DH is 55 and will likely retire between now and age 59 or 60. We have a monthly income from a sale of a business that will end in thirteen years...

Ahhhh, Guatemala!!! Our children were adopted from your beautiful country. We had the pleasure of visiting five times and will hopefully take another trip there eventually. Are you on Lake Atitlan? How is safety there lately? Welcome! By the way...we have a dryer and use dryer sheets...

I am close to your age with a hubby and three kids. We could easily retire with what you have, but our spending is pretty low. Congrats on saving so much!

Here in central MN we are expecting 6-10 inches today. Yay (NOT).

My husband had an inherited IRA from his mom. We were taking RMDs but decided this year to just take the remainder out (it's fairly small) and manage our taxes by setting more aside in tax deferred accounts. Why does the gubment need to make this so complicated?

"A long, long way to go. And I think before we start screening we are supposed to have some form of treatment that works. Do we have that?" There are medications that can help folks maintain, basically slow the progression of the disease. Aricept, Namenda, Exelon. There may be others that I...

"Now I understand what death is but worse than death? Got examples????" Having a stroke or major heart event and being in a vegetative state for the rest of ones life would be worse than death in my book. Just sayin.....

We love where we live (except sometimes in Jan, Feb) and we will stay right where we are until we can no longer care for the house/property. If it comes to that we will sell and use the money or our kids will inherit it.

What I have been fighting myself about lately is "safety for the gains". It's so tempting to take out some of the nice gains we've had and put them in something "more safe". But then our AA wouldn't be where it should be. How to fight this temptation? I don't know!!! Ack!

Snowshoeing is pretty easy IMHO. Easy to do, but great exercise! The only time when things get tricky happens if you fall in some deep snow. Usually I get in some good snowshoeing during the winter. This winter I haven't been able to go at all yet, thanks to the polar vortex that has been...

Us too! :)

Started wearing glasses in second grade. Had a lazy eye so had a prism on right side. Later contacts, then LASIK around age 32 or so. Now at age 40 will have to start wearing readers soon. Just thankful there are so many things that can be done now to help. I work with many people who have...

It was -20 F when we went to church this morning. It is now....0 !!! Heat wave! Supposed to start slowly warming this week. No snow today so that's a positive thing!!! C'mon spring!!!

So awesome!!! I have a lot of the same hopes as you. Looking at about ten years of work yet, but hoping for part-time for the last few. We are very close to 500k in retirement savings. I am hoping the next 500k comes easier!!! We WILL do it !!!

Nice!!! ;) My kind of man!
