    If you could speak with three people from the past, whom would you choose?

    So many to choose from..... But I'd like to sit down with my Aunt Tudy, the hard working woman that raised me while my parents worked, and at the same time took care of our grocery store. I would like to thank her, and apologize for not treating her as good as I could have. I did help, but I...

    What do you think of these single person, "retiree" cars?

    Hi, Those mini vehicles certainly have their place, but not here in my part of Texas. Statistics show that approximately 1/3 of the vehicles here are regular size pick up trucks (yes, I have one as do my neighbors). Another third is SUVs, and the remaining third is the typical small/medium...

    If the Media Didn't Report Mass Killings

    This is a hard subject for sure. I definitely believe that some individuals have read the mass media coverage from such tragedies and gotten "inspiration" to possibly do the same thing. There are some that are looking for "revenge", "fame", "attention", or just a release of their anger and...

    Reverse Chip Mortgage Questions

    Don't do it. You are better off getting a mortgage.

    Do others consider your oddities and lapses a sign of aging?

    As I was told by a professional, losing your keys is normal behaviour, forgetting what a key is for is not.

    Does Anyone Think about Death?

    This sort of relates to some that has been posted here..... My Mother in Law (WONDERFUL person), had vascular dementia and then a series of strokes that left her totally unable to do anything willingly - like talk, walk, answer with eye movements, move any part of her body, or control bodily...

    Does Anyone Think about Death?

    I'm 80, my Wife is almost 77. We did all the legal papers years ago, and 3 years ago did the pre-arranged funerals and paid in full. And, we had the two plots picked and paid for. So that part is done and not much to think about there. Today I had the follow-up appt with my Cardiologist to...

    Why such hostility in online forums?

    I'm fairly new here but have posted in a number of threads - some controversial . I've disagreed with some folks, and some have disagreed with me, but it's all been pretty civil and IMO not personal. The thing is, when you post something, you are putting yourself "out there" for whatever...

    Problems and Worries - Do They Ever End ?

    I've often read how famous comedians had so many serious problems underneath their smiling faces. Robin Williams and Red Skelton and so many others come to mind. My Wife and I go to lunch most every day, usually at the same 3-4 places. We know the staffs, and we always smile and make small...

    Problems and Worries - Do They Ever End ?

    In my experience / exposure, in general it seems that the "good people" get the most grief.

    Do Overs - And how often do you think about them?

    I regret marrying at age 20, and having 4 kids by the age of 24. Nothing against the kids, but the burden I took on with 4 was a lot. Also, as both parents worked, my Aunt lived with us and took care of me, my younger sister and our grocery store (we had the apartment attached to it). I...

    Problems and Worries - Do They Ever End ?

    This all may sound like a "poor me" lament, and maybe it is, although I don't intend it to be that way. It seems that my life has always been filled with problems and worries - mostly about loved ones. It's like they never end, that when one does get resolved, another one pops up to take its...
