Hello Early Retirement Forum, My name is Gretchen Lindell, and my mom was Moe. Unfortunately, mom passed away on May 1, 2021, after a short, but intense battle with pancreatic cancer. Here is her obituary: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/maureen-green-obituary?pid=198532687 As I've...

I have lived in Florida for 25 years . To ensure you will be in a younger 55 community buy into one just being built . I have lived on Sarasota bay for 20 years and the only time we ever evacuated was Irma . We had minimal damage . . If you are liberal think twice before moving here or move to...

Trombone Al always did the best Christmas letter . I really miss his humorous take on things.

If you are considering the surgery make sure it is a high volume Cancer center .Best of luck to you .

IMO this is the best answer .

So sorry about your Mother ! I hope she has a mild case and recovers quickly .

Since the governor fully opened Florida it is a mess . No more social distancing in restaurants and mask wearing is starting to lag .With the snowbirds arriving it should get crazy at the hospitals .

We voted and as usual we cancel each other out .My vote is the correct one .

I would stop all work on their shed but proceed to paint and put in electric at your shed . When she finally asks why her shed is not being finished tell her to pay up .

I loaded up on Orgain protein shakes . They were 29% off . I also added two months of showtime .

It will be just my SO & I this year . I will make a small turkey or turkey breast with all the side dishes . We usually go to a Thanksgiving buffet at a nearby Hotel but that is not happening this year . I hope we can salvage Christmas with maybe a small outside celebration.

I miss the cinema . We used to go a few times a month and then go out to eat . It was also one of my favorite things to do with my grandsons . Their choice of films opened up a new world for me . I miss it .

I have the OXO good grips . It is designed for older people . It works great . Very easy to use .

In Florida our Governor fully opened up the state while numbers are still high. Locally most of the good restaurants are staying at 50% and keeping the masks .I think this is great news .

Happy Birthday Nemo !

You can always take the ferry from Fort Meters to Key West .

It was the first indoor dining that we did . We were about five feet from the nearest person and the restaurant was not busy .

I contacted it three months ago . I had an antibody test at two and a half months that was negative . I have great health insurance so medical care is no problem. I already saw my internist and am seeing him again next week . He gave me protonix which has helped some . It is not a constant thing .

We also had it . We were very cautious but went to a restaurant and five days later had nasal congestion ,cough , fatigue and I had G.I symptoms . SO had chills ,fever , nasal congestion ,fatigue and cough . It was gone in a week but I have lingering G.I symptoms . We are both 73 .

Thanks ! My old one is ten years old so it was time .

I have been to Chucky cheese a lot since between my So &I we have eight grand children . It is noisy with terrible food and very loud but kids love it . We have now moved to Dave & Buster's . Loud, expensive with awful food but pre teens love it and I enjoy the games .Plus they serve wine .

Bought a new red leather recliner !

Went to Lazy Boy for a red leather recliner . I found the perfect one to replace my old one in about five minutes . Saleswoman tried to show me others but no go . This is what I want .She should have been glad for a quick sale and stopped .

I live on the west coast of Florida . I would recommend Anna Marie Island . The beaches are beautiful ,lots of air B&B options . A very beachy area . They also have a trolley which takes you around the Island .

I agree we have discovered walking at a nearby park that is something I have thought about but never did until now . I also never thought I would like ordering groceries online but I have found it has saved me so much money and it makes me more organized .
