    Favorite karaoke songs

    For those of you who sing karaoke, how do you pick which songs to sing? Do you pick songs within your voice range or do you just sing songs you like no matter what. I tend to pick 70s classic rockers that I like and are in my voice range.

    Any disc golfers out there?

    I've just been recently introduced to this activity. I really like it. It's a good way to walk at least a mile and also get some other muscles moving while enjoying the great outdoors. I also appreciate that the courses are free(at least in my area). The equipment is inexpensive and there are...

    Japan advice for April trip

    I really lucked out with the weather. It rained hard the morning after I arrived but the rest of the time was very nice weather. 60s while in Tokyo and close to 80 in Kyoto. The cherry blossoms were peak in Tokyo and just past peak in Kyoto. They were delayed this year because of a cold...

    Japan advice for April trip

    Google maps is indispensable when traveling abroad. Many times I got turned around and it straightened me out. The subway and train stations are sometimes very confusing, but the staff are pretty good at directing you in the right direction. If you want to avoid crowds at the major shrines and...

    Recommend an Alaskan Cruise

    We did Alaska in June 2018. Did a Vancouver to Seward cruise seeing both Glacier Bay and Hubbard glacier. I thought Hubbard was much more impressive. Took a shuttle bus from Seward to Anchorage airport to pick up our rental car. Saved several hundred dollars versus a Seward car rental. We then...

    Low cost car rental tips

    I've had good luck with carrentalsavers.com. The time I tried autoslash they wanted me to drop off the car twenty miles from my house at a place that was closed on weekends. With carrentalsavers I can choose exactly where and when to pick up and drop off.

    First RMD question

    My wife is turning 73 this year and will be taking her first RMD. Can she transfer it in kind to our joint taxable account even though the taxable account is attached to my social security number or does she need to open a taxable account with her own social security number?

    Nasal Dilators?

    My nightly routine is a Zyrtec tablet, a squirt of Flonase up each nostril and some Vicks vaporub under each nostril. Works pretty well for keeping me uncongested. I don't normally snore unless I am congested.
