As of February 1st I'll be on medicare; its been a long 4 years without health insurance. Looks like I'm goingto make it!

When DH had his first one, he complained of "feeling his guts all the time". Not sure what he meant, but that was the only time he had that particular feeling.

I never understood the need for air freshners. Just clean the house!

Our golden retriever has benefitted a great deal by taking glucosamine chondrotin even though our vet said there's no evidence that it works. I've taken the golden raisins soaked in gin; that seemed to work for several months but then I seemed to get immune to that. Now i'm taking 2 tablespoons...

I retired in September and it was perfect since Fall is my favorite time of the year. We spent 6 weeks traveling the state looking at Fall colors and hiking various state parks. Can't believe its been 5 years!

How do you eat only one cookie??

Prayers definitely work and she'll be in mine!

I've been on a weight- loss quest since January and have lost 40 pounds with 25 more to go. In January, my doctor lectured me about having a 40-percent chance of stroking out within the next 10 years, that if i lost 10 percent of my body weight mt arthritis would feel better, and he could take...

We paid off our home in our early 50's; we shared because we were proud. Our friends and family were happy.

All of these stories are a hoot! Thanks for the entertainment !

I've never used glasses to read. The other day I ordered my first pair of bifocals at age 64. Also, the skin on the under part of my forearm is getting "crepy". Not sure that's a word but it describes the look perfectly.

I don't understand why you all want to do this stuff. Just eat a balanced diet!

Good for these people. I'm glad they sued and won!

We do streaming with one DVD at a time. I don't like the huge increase but will live with it for the time being. The only complaint we have is that on Sundays it is sometime difficult to get streaming at all. Too many users I guess. We've never received a damaged DVD.

LOL! A cowboy cadillac is a fancy pickup with full-size back seat, leather interior, and all the bells and whistles. That's here in NE Ohio anyway. Bullhorns on the front is Texas, I think!

Ziggy-you did make me feel a little better. You guys on these boards are a lot more savy about financial stuff than me!

The thought that we may not get our SS checks is frightening indeed!

Here's our experience: we sold all our vehicles when we retired 5 years ago. We bought a gently used cowboy cadalliac and have been using it ever since. Gas mileage is not great but we can live with it. Its nice to have only one vehicle to maintain and pay insurance. If we have major repairs...

I have a lot of trouble sleeping; I'm lucky to get 3 hours a night. I do not take naps during the day (wish I could!).

I hate low-flow showers; it seems like I can't properly rinse my hair. When we moved to our current house, we had our 1955 shower fixtures rebuilt for $20. We have great water flow; guests tell us its like showering in a car wash! Our water bill runs $23/month.

I love family reunions. Have a wonderful time!

Our life started when we retired; the daily grind was over. Does my husband irritate me to no end some days? Yes, and I'm sure I do the same to him. But we quickly get over it and move on. Most of our interests are the same; I wonder if that makes a difference?

Don't worry about the kids; they will be happy if you are happy in your new home. Don't forget-- they are working and building lives so their time is limited. We moved back near my hometown; although we have extended family in the area and two couples as friends its amazing how easily you can...

I was thinking of retirement for about 40 years! LOL. When I was downsized 3 years before I'd planned, it took some convincing from DH that we'd actually be able to do it. But we are doing just fine. And we don't have a million in investments. The only problem is that I am health insurance free...

We stream thru Wii and really like it, especially for old TV series. We get the newer movies thru the mail. For the price its great.
