I am having some issues with occasional atrial fibrillation, and the cardiologist wants to use an implantable loop monitor for about six months to watch it. I'm on an anti-coagulant med to hopefully prevent clots. This all started in June of this year when my gall bladder ruptured, and I...

My DS (sister) is 3 years older than I, and has had two annuities in two different companies for many years. One is a fixed at 2.9% and one is a variable with balanced funds and has done OK in the past few years. Both are non-qualified accounts. I know this group dislikes annuities for many...

I've never been a good sleeper. I probably get more sleep than I feel I do, but it seems like I'm awake a lot. I just had a total mouth reconstruction done a week ago, so it's not surprising I'd be having issues now. But this isn't anything new. I take melatonin 5mg, but I don't want to use any...

There are a couple other threads about dental issues, so I thought I would start one that will, hopefully, help me to make some tough decisions. I will not bore you with details, but I have spent many, many hours in dental chairs in my life....and probably put a couple of dentists' kids through...

DH and I don't get out much these days. In fact, going to Publix (our local grocery store) has become an event every 3-4 weeks. Publix has "required" masks on everyone, and have done a good job of directing aisle traffic so that people who pay attention to the posted signs are all going the...

Microsoft forced this update, and now Windows 10 Home operating system will not start on my DH's PC. Anyone else having issues with this update?

I have always thought Hugh Hefner was a brilliant business man. He did a lot to change our culture, and most people either admired him or condemned him. I also admire his daughter for her business expertise as well. It's a little known fact that in 1970, Playboy was the first "gentlemen's"...

I'm thinking about getting my DH a car dashboard camera, and wondering if anyone has any product suggestions. I'd want something simple and easy to use, and not overly expensive. It would be mostly just for our amusement. We live in an area where people leave their driving skills at home...

I live in Central Florida, and the onslaught of spring break partiers is news every year. Granted.....they bring in big bucks and contribute to our state economy generously.....no problem and we thank you. But....the behavior of some of these young adults keeps getting more interesting every...

I just applied to be able to vote by mail in all elections through 2016. The wait to vote at the polling locations was very lengthy (over 2.5 hours) when we last voted, and we don't want to go through that again. Just curious how many prefer to vote by absentee ballot (mail) or in person.

If you had your own T-Shirt printing equipment, what would you put on a T-Shirt you would wear frequently? Me first: Front - Despite The Look On My Face Back - You're Still Talking?

I have read through the FIRECalc Support forum but don't see this question, although it would surprise me if I were the first to ask this. Where does FIRECalc account for society security income ending at the time of one spouses death while continuing to calculate the possible financial success...

In light of the current thread discussing the cost of health care insurance, and the hundreds of previous posts discussing this issue, I thought it might be interesting to find out when the cost of purchasing health insurance would be considered to much, and therefore of no value. For the...

Robert J. Samuelson, writing for this week's Newsweek publication, states: "Power is the ability to get what you want. It suggests that you control events. By these standards, AARP runs the government budgetary policy, not presidents or congressional leaders. Obama says we must "win the...
