ronknights, I'm really sorry. It sounds like the abuse you suffered has given you continued struggles. Your dad sounds toxic and no matter that he has purchased a few things his abuse is what matters. Edit: Does her acknowledge or "remember" the abuse? Or does he think he was a wonderful father?

I hope I don't get attacks for this. Yesterday I finally had time to get my hair cut. The woman I like hadn't been at this place in a time, finally returning. She said her 99 year old mother died last year and she had paid for part of her care at a very upscale assisted living place in my town...

Back in September I had a horrible experience with my apartment manager and maintenance man. They jerked me around for 4 days regarding a repair. I think one problem was I insisted on being home and they don't like that. Too bad. I won't get into everything but the manager accused me of...

My plan is to find a manufactured home in a park. Not an RV. I'll then have to cover the space rent and I do think they charge too much but I think it's my only alternative. A condo in this area has gone out of my price range (without having to work longer and longer) and honestly I want the...

I have no dreams of retirement. I just want to get there. I have no delusions of travel etc. If I can find a nice mobile in an adult park, the swimming pool will be my resort.

I don't know if anyone goes to this site much but I've enjoyed it for years. There are boards discussing old movies and old TV series. Some of them pretty active. I guess they have trouble with moderation, maybe it's money. They do get a lot of harassing, troll type posts too. I'll miss some...

Your not interested in hearing about my cats!? :) Seriously though, thank you for mentioning that forum. I just found it and will look into it further.

When I first joined this forum, I had hoped to find more information regarding retirement than I have seen here. However as someone mentioned in this thread, there are such variables, it's hard since everyone's income and expenses will be different. There was once a thread about living on...

Hello, Someone at work has a Nutri Ninja/bullet type thing. They like it. But I think those really pulverize the fruits and vegetables. I'm interested in something like that but would make more traditional smoothies from mainly fruits. I have used my regular blender but it's big, hard to clean...

And I still have done nothing to move in. I requested time off from work to move. If I can't start moving in by next week, I need to call the agent and sell the place. I feel terrified of the place and probably bought when I'm not ready. Another housing mistake of mine. I can barely keep my...

I fell at work two times within about 6 weeks. Both times I was tripped. The first by another person and the second my foot got caught on something. Both times I went down on the same knee but the second fall was harder, my glasses flew off my face. I filled out incident reports for both but...

A few years ago a co-worker insisted you would receive a higher Social Security benefit IF you earned more in the years closer to retirement. This didn't sound right to me so I did some internet research on the subject. What I found is they look at your highest 35 years. Articles mentioned that...

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of buying a mobile in a park. I found a 2004 single wide. It appears in nice shape. Inspections are this week. I viewed the place after a few days of really heavy rain here and all looked well. Still I'm terrified I'm making the wrong decision. I keep...

Sorry for a downer thread. But does the excess this time of year bother anyone else? I hate waste. I buy few gifts. I bought a small painting for a dear friend from Etsy. I bought small gifts for my nieces at the annual craft fair this last weekend. Plus they get cash. I also bought two pottery...

I listen to coast to coast also driving home from work. I heard part of this story also. Very strange. They have a lot of interesting, if not far out things on coast to coast. I really do wish they would find Bigfoot. If the Finding Bigfoot people can't find him/her... I had such hope. :)
