Looks good and I've had no problems. Good job

I retired from the military in 1981. Then hired on with megacorp and retired in Jan 2003. So, actual retirement is 21 years. Life is good.

I never heard of it. but I guess I'm from the Silent Gen. I was stationed in Ramstein Germany when JFK was shot. Three years later I was sent to Vietnam. My high school class is more than 50% gone, so I am lucky.

Six months after my ablation I was taken off Eliquis. I had been required to wear a small heart monitor for a week prior to stopping Eliquis. Cardiologist says I am fine, take baby aspirin,and resume anything, including exercise. The ablation was easy, as was recovery. I haven't noticed any...

Great guy. great investor. He said that the Army made him but he never voluntarily exercised. He made 99 yrs old!

In Barcelona. I was going up on escalator. Guy in front spilled coins and blocked us. I tried to help him. This setup had the guy behind me pick my back pockets. Fortunately, I had put our passports in my underwear and my wallet in front pocket. All he got was my glasses case. Lucky me.

Well I should have started readi g this thread. Power had been off since 10:30 last night. Doesn't look like ONCOR is going to restore it today. Last I looked in-house temp is 85. Its gonna be motel time tonite. DW just yelled "I'm packing my bag."

Patton. George C. Scott's performance was great.

As Jimmy Johnson said. it's not how long you have left. but the QTL, Quality Time left that matters. Carpe Diem makes sense.

I mowed for 55 years. Then my daughter asked me why I was still doing it when could easily pay for it. I hired a guy and when he showed up I took a nap. No mowing for me.

I'm grateful for DW, who has stayed with me 58 years. Im grateful that our investments are much higher than when I retired. I'm grateful for my health. which gave me a scare recently, but the docs saved me. We're both 80, have 2 grandkids and one great grandkid. I've been retired for 20 years...

We both turned 80 this year and have more loot than we need. We were traveling until Covid hit and haven't done much since. Medical problems for both of us, but tricare + medicare cover the expenses. We are generous with the kid/grandkids. I expect We wi ll have to make charity...

Me too. Nemo2 was quite the world traveler. I liked his posts, many were informative. Wish he would return.

It's 5 past 5 on Cinco de Mayo. Time for a margarita... or maybe cinco margaritas.

Location, location. location. Make sure there are no (profanity excluded) barking dogs. For some reason my neighbors let dogs bark incessantly. it spoils my nap.

This exactly. I had to type each bond number into Treasury Direct. And yes TD notifies me when a bond is/has expired and no longer earning interest. I saved those paper copies for years and am so happy to do things electronically.

I sent mine to Treasury Direct. No problem and they notify me when they are no longer acquiring interest so I can redeem them. Then they send cash to my bank.

I got to this thread late. I like the great news and happy for you and your granddaughter.

Congrats and good luck to you both.

Since I'm living in Texas, Mexican (texmex) food is always on. I seldom go a week without it and usually buy takeout and eat at home. When we lived in Louisiana we ate a lot of Cajun food (shrimp, crabs gumbo, etc.). We get takeout as opposed to eating in the restaurant. Being retired we...

Agree. I am nowhere near a real athlete. However I am not feeble, either. I never expected AFIB, and with no symptoms was surprised when they put me in hospital. I want to be like J. J. Watt. If I got the news right, his heart was shocked into rhythm on Thursday, and he played on Sunday...

Good thing I was monitoring my blood pressure. The monitor indicated normal BP but a pulse of 152. An hour later pulse 74. Later 152. Up and down for a couple of weeks. NO Other Symptoms. No racing heartbeats, no pain, no gasping for breath, nothing. I went to my family physician who...

Don't even hesitate. Go on the cruise. Friends get old and unfortunately, some die. The philharmonic can wait till next year.

Condolences to the BMJ family. I remember him. And 52 is way too early. Thanks for the info. RIP Big Money Jim.

I had both eyes done in March, 2 weeks apart. Toric lenses and I've had no problems. I use readers for closeup reading small print. Just before surgery, they kept asking "which eye are we doing today?" I did the drops routine, each eye for a week. Driving at night is possible, now!
